Lenten Moments of Mercy: Monday of the Third Week of Lent

Monday of the Third Week of Lent   This Lent, fast by listening to others; pray by opening your hearts to them; and give alms by holding your hands out to them.

Scripture O send out your light and your truth;             let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill             and to your dwelling. Psalm 43:3   Reflection On his trip to Africa in November 2015, Pope Francis spoke to the young people of Kenya, warning them of the evils of tribalism, the temptation to value one’s own cultural prejudices at the expense of others. He called for the young people to be open to all who live within their country. Overcoming tribalism is something “we do with our ear: listening to others; with our heart: being open to others; and with our hands: holding out a hand to others.” (Address to the Young People of Kenya, 27 November 2015). In the Gospel reading from Luke 4:24‒30, Jesus confronts the same attitudes when speaking to the people of Galilee who saw themselves as superior to others who did not share their faith. Jesus points to the example of the Old Testament prophets Elijah and Elisha in 2 Kings. These prophets lived among the faithful, but when they performed miracles it was for a Gentile widow and a Syrian general. God’s grace is not limited to a chosen few. Jesus’ example enraged the people, and they did their best to throw Jesus off a cliff. “But he passed through the midst of them and went on his way” (Luke 4:30). Whether it is called tribalism or exceptionalism, the temptation to narrow our focus to claim the grace of God for ourselves and deny it to those who make us uncomfortable is universal. This temptation is especially strong during times of stress and unrest. We are tempted to ask God to extend his mercy to us and to deny it to others. So it is a great Lenten practice to humbly listen to others, open our hearts to them, and hold out our hands to one another.

Pope Francis “We must also learn the wisdom of placing ourselves on the margins so that the Lord will find us. The Lord will not find us at the center of our self- assurance.” Morning Meditation, Monday, 24 March 2014   Lenten Action ► Go to your local diocesan web pages to learn of the work of Catholic Charities in your area. ► Pray with an Examen for the Third Week of Lent.   Prayer Lord, help us to find the face of God in all those whom you have called us to love, especially among those who live on the margins.

Lenten Moments of Mercy: Third Sunday of Lent

Third Sunday of Lent   Lent is a time when we respond to Jesus’ call to build a society based on mercy.

Scripture “He said further, ‘I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.” Exodus 3:6   Reflection The secular culture in our society has done an excellent job in privatizing religious belief. Religious belief is expected to be kept out of the public sphere. Each person is seen to have the right to believe what they want, just as long as they keep their beliefs to themselves. But in the story of Moses’s encounter with God in the third chapter of Exodus, we see that God has not come to give Moses a personal revelation. God identifies himself as the God of the people. He is preparing Moses to lead a social revolution. The people are suffering under their Egyptian taskmasters, and God is getting ready to lead them to build a new society. Pope Francis’s call to mercy is clearly in line with the iconic description of God’s purpose in the world that we find in Exodus. God is not a complacent deity who is content to observe the world from a distance; quite the contrary: God is actively concerned for the world, as he most clearly shows by sending his Son Jesus to redeem us and call us to build a society of mercy. In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus vividly calls all to repentance. The parable of the barren fig tree (Luke 13:6‒9) is for anyone of us who ignores the needs of a world in which 842 million people face hunger every day and suffer under the taskmasters of our age. God continuously calls out to those who ignore him. God is patient, but we will eventually face God’s judgment: “If it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.” (Luke 13:9) Image: Alexey Pismenny, Parable of the Fruitless Fig Tree

Pope Francis “Doing whatever we can so that everyone has food, but also reminding the world’s powerful that God will call them to be judged one day, and it will be demonstrated whether they have truly tried to provide food for Him in each person.” (cf. Mt 25:35) Homily, 12 May 2015   Lenten Action ► The number of those hungry every day is from Catholic Relief Services. Review the work of Catholic Relief Services. ► Reflect on this Sunday’s Gospel with Arts & Faith: Lent and the Sunday Connection.   Prayer Lord, help us to be open to your nurturing word that the seeds of faith you planted may blossom into a life of love and mercy.

Lenten Moments of Mercy: Saturday of the Second Week of Lent

Saturday of the Second Week of Lent   We are God’s prodigal children. God is always waiting for us to come back to him.

Scripture “But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.” Luke 15:20   Reflection We have all heard of deathbed confessions and about people who return to the sacraments after having led dissolute lives. When we hear these stories we can have feelings of resentment. We think that such grace is undeserved. We think those who have tried each day to follow the commandments have taken a harder way to salvation. We probably have a lot of sympathy for the older brother in the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11‒32). Pope Francis addresses these issues in his Angelus homily of September 15, 2013. Pope Francis tells us that there is a danger that we presume ourselves righteous enough to judge others. In this way we also presume to judge God, thinking that he should punish sinners and condemn them to death instead of forgiving them. Such attitudes, Pope Francis declares, risk our being kept out of our Father’s house. Pope Francis says that if “in our heart there is no mercy, no joy of forgiveness, we are not in communion with God, even if we observe all of his precepts, for it is love that saves, not the practice of precepts alone” (Angelus, 15 September 2013). We always need to remember that we are the prodigal sons who every day turn our backs on God’s grace. “Each one of us is that son who has squandered his freedom on false idols, illusions of happiness, and has lost everything” (Angelus, 15 September 2013). Fortunately for us all, God awaits our plea for forgiveness, which he will answer with his mercy.

Pope Francis “The God who waits for us. God who waits and also God who forgives. He is the God of mercy; he does not tire of forgiving. We are the ones who tire in asking for forgiveness, but he does not tire.” Homily, 28 March 2014   Lenten Action ► Read Pope Francis on the Parable of the Merciful Father. ► Pray in a special way with the story of the Prodigal Son. ► Go back and reflect on something that particularly touched you this second week of Lent.   Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday   Prayer Forgive us for our sins, O Lord, so we may celebrate the joy of reconciliation.

Lenten Moments of Mercy: Friday of the Second Week of Lent

Friday of the Second Week of Lent   We reflect on the Word of God with humility to discern God’s wisdom.

Scripture “‘The stone that the builders rejected             has become the cornerstone this was the Lord’s doing,             and it is amazing in our eyes’” Matthew 21:42   Reflection In the first of today’s readings, we hear about Israel, his son Joseph, and Joseph’s brothers. Joseph was Israel’s favorite son. That is why Joseph received the tailored cloak that was the envy of his brothers. The brothers took vengeance on Joseph, first by planning to kill him, but finally selling him into slavery. The brothers were blind to everything but their own ambition. The tenants in the Gospel reading were also blinded by ambition. In killing the owner’s representatives, they thought to inherit the land. Instead they inherited the whirlwind. Pope Francis notes that the vineyard represents an inheritance that God planted and tilled with his own hands. It is God’s Word in the Gospels in which he shares his great love. Unfortunately, there are those who use the Word as a means of making a personal profit, who act as if they own it. They only see the Word in terms of their own desires, and by acting in such a way, they are closed to the grace God offers daily. The Word is dead as it has been hijacked by those who were called to serve it. The ways to overcome this temptation to control the Word are the dispositions of humility and prayer. When the Word of God is read with humility, the reader listens to the echo of God’s presence in his or her heart; it is an echo that resonates over the centuries. When the Word is approached in prayer the reader discerns the wisdom that God is teaching. There is no attempt to change the Word to fulfill our desires, but to read it in tune with God’s desires.

Pope Francis “The Lord grant us the grace of humility to look upon Jesus as the Savior who speaks to us: he speaks to me! Each one of us ought to say: he speaks to me! When we read the Gospels: he is speaking to me!” Morning Meditation, 21 March 2014   Lenten Action ► Read a short passage from the Gospels. ► Pray with the Ignatian Workout for Lent online retreat by Tim Muldoon.   Prayer Help us to remember, O Lord, to look upon you with humility and discern your wisdom written in our hearts.

Lenten Moments of Mercy: Thursday of the Second Week of Lent

Thursday of the Second Week of Lent   The disciplines of Lent help us place trust in God the Father’s loving hands.

Scripture Happy are those who make             the LORD their trust, who do not turn to the proud,             to those who go astray after false gods. Psalm 40:4   Reflection A good friend told me the story of how his life was changed. He is a good man, active in his parish, and involved in Catholic ministry. He was on a retreat that was an especially moving experience. During the first days of the retreat, he reflected on all that he was doing, all that he was failing to do, and the many insurmountable issues he was facing. He knew no matter how hard he tried, he could not accomplish all that he thought needed to be done. In a moment of private prayer, he cried to God how helpless he felt, that he was in despair. He heard God tell him, “Give me your despair.” At that moment he moved from trust in himself and his own abilities to trust in God. In a homily given on today's readings, Pope Francis says the central focus of the readings is the issue of trust: do we trust in ourselves, or do we trust in God? Someone who only trusts in himself will ultimately live a life without horizons, without open doors, without windows. Even if we have moved beyond simply selfish desires and sincerely give our lives to others in service, there is still the temptation to put our own agendas forward instead of God’s. To move beyond trust in our own abilities and our own agendas, we must surrender ourselves into the Father’s loving hands and be open to what he wishes to accomplish in us.

Pope Francis “May the Lord grant us all the wisdom to trust only in him and not in things or in human strength: only in him.” Morning Meditation, 20 March 2014   Lenten Action ► Take time for a 3-Minute Retreat.   Prayer Help us, O Lord, to live only by the life-giving waters of your love.

Lenten Moments of Mercy: Wednesday of the Second Week of Lent

Wednesday of the Second Week of Lent   We reflect on the reason for our service: to bring glory to God.

Scripture “Whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave.” Matthew 20: 26–27   Reflection When St. Francis of Assisi had his vision of rebuilding Jesus’ Church, he was in the broken down chapel of San Damiano. At first, he thought that Jesus was calling on him to rebuild the chapel. So he gathered the stones necessary for the repair. He then went to his father’s textile shop and, without permission, sold some of the goods to finance the repairs. Francis’s father, Pietro Bernardone, was furious. He had willingly funded Francis’s expensive dreams of becoming a knight as this would raise the status of the family. But he could not tolerate what he saw was the theft of his goods. He confronted Francis before the bishop of Assisi, who told Francis that while his motives may be good, he could not steal from his father. Francis then stripped himself naked, disowned his family, and was given a cloak by the bishop to wear. Francis had entered into the true Way of the Cross. He discovered the presence of Jesus in the wounds of the world, in the lepers, and in the poor. To reach out to them he stripped himself of his family’s values, becoming poor, so that others may live. Pope Francis notes that there is a danger among Christians who, like the Apostles in the Gospel, follow Jesus for personal ambition, to accomplish something in life or to be rewarded for good deeds. While such a path may lead us to heaven, ultimately it is a sad life. Only service to the one Lord is the way to true happiness and a true Christian life.

Pope Francis “He who, being God, humbled himself, lowered himself, debased himself: to serve. It is service in hope, and this is the joy of Christian service.” Morning Meditation, 11 November 2014   Lenten Action ► Learn more about the Franciscan Order. ► Explore the reflections in Growing in Friendship with God This Lent.   Prayer Lord Jesus, help me to follow the Way of the Cross and serve with courage.

Lenten Moments of Mercy: Tuesday of the Second Week of Lent

Tuesday of the Second Week of Lent Feast of St. Polycarp, Bishop and Martyr   Lent is a season during which we reflect on how we bear witness to Jesus.

Scripture “Seek justice,             rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan,             plead for the widow.” Isaiah 1:17   Reflection We celebrate the feast day of St. Polycarp (d.155?), bishop and martyr. Polycarp was the second Bishop of Smyrna, and said to be ordained by St. John the Apostle. He was one of the last living witnesses to the teachings of the Apostles. When brought before the stake that would be his pillar of martyrdom by fire, St. Polycarp was given the opportunity to renounce his faith and be spared. Polycarp replied:   “Eighty and six years I have served Him, and He has done me no wrong. How then can I blaspheme my King and Savior? . . . You threaten me with fire that burns for an hour, and after a little is extinguished, but you are ignorant of the fire of the coming judgment and of eternal punishment, reserved for the ungodly . . . I give You thanks that You have counted me, worthy of this day and this hour, that I should have a part in the number of Your martyrs, in the cup of your Christ.” Polycarp’s martyrdom reminds us of what Jesus taught in John 15:20. “Remember the word that I said to you, ‘Servants are not greater than their master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.” We can be inspired by the example of St. Polycarp. The days of martyrdom are not over. We also remember that thousands of Christians continue to be martyred today serving the same Lord, sharing in the cup of Christ.

Pope Francis “Let us consider: am I ready to carry the Cross like Jesus? To endure persecution in order to bear witness to Jesus like our many brothers and sisters today who are humiliated and persecuted?” Morning Meditation, 4 March 2014   Lenten Action ► Review the work of Caritas International bringing hope to the suffering and refugees from religious persecution. ► Consider How to Find Time in the Day for Lent.   Prayer Let your face shine on us your servants so we may serve those most in need.

Lenten Moments of Mercy: Monday of the Second Week of Lent

Monday of the Second Week of Lent Feast of the Chair of St. Peter, the Apostle   During the season of Lent, we reflect on the question, “Who is Jesus for us?”

Scripture “Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, ‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is?’” Matthew 16:13   Reflection In the Gospel reading Jesus has come to the district of Caesarea Philippi, a Greek city filled with shrines to pagan idols. Surrounded by these images of false gods, Jesus asks his disciples who they think the Son of Man is. Speaking for all the disciples Simon Peter answers, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:16). Jesus blesses Simon Peter for his response, naming him “Cephas,” the word for “rock,” and telling him that upon this rock he would build his Church. The gates of hell would not prevail against it. Reflecting on this story Pope Francis asks, how would we respond to the question who is Jesus for us? He notes that we learn and study about Jesus in the Catechism, but this head knowledge in itself is not enough. How can we answer this question in our hearts? In order to truly know Jesus, we have to travel the way that Peter continued to travel, one made especially difficult when Jesus made it clear that his way was the Way of the Cross. (Matthew16:21‒23) Pope Francis notes that what happened in a unique way with Peter also happens to every Christian who develops a sincere faith in Jesus Christ. Do we let Jesus speak to our heart? Is our heart like a rock, or like sand that is doubtful, diffident, or disbelieving? When Jesus finds a heart with sincere, genuine faith, he sees a living stone on which to build the Church.

Pope Francis “Peter is the rock, the visible foundation of the Church’s unity; but every baptized person is called to offer Jesus his or her lowly but sincere faith.” Angelus, 24 August 2014   Lenten Action ► Pray with the Stations of the Cross. ► Read more about St. Peter in an excerpt from Saint Peter by Stephen Binz.   Prayer Lord Jesus, let us love you with a sincere heart so we may dwell in your house our whole life long.

Lenten Moments of Mercy: Second Sunday of Lent

Second Sunday of Lent   Lent is a time when we open ourselves to God’s transforming grace.

Scripture “But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” Philippians 3:20   Reflection In an interview with the programWitness for Salt and Light Television, Monsignor Dario Viganò, then director of Vatican television, told of the first moments of Pope Francis’s papal ministry. Pope Francis came out of the Sistine Chapel and went to the Pauline Chapel with two cardinals accompanying him. His head was bowed down, as if the burden of the task that he had been elected to was weighing him down. In the Pauline Chapel, instead of going to a prearranged papal throne, he sat in the last pew, compelling the two cardinals to sit with him. He prayed in silence. Msgr. Viganò says that when Pope Francis got up to go to meet the people, he was a different man. His head was no longer down. He looked straight ahead and was smiling. It was as if God had said to him personally, “Don’t worry. I am here with you.” Pope Francis had an experience of God’s transforming mercy and grace. (Dario Viganò interview with Fr. Thomas Rosica. Witness, October 4, 2013) In the third chapter of his letter to the Philippians, St. Paul calls on his brothers and sisters in faith to follow his example insofar as he is following Christ. Paul is critical of those who name themselves Christian, but follow their bellies with their minds on earthly things. As long as they act this way they will be closed to the transforming grace of Jesus Christ. Paul promises that for those who follow Christ, they will begin to experience in this world the joy and happiness that will be completed in the next. Image: Lorenzo Lotto, The Transfiguration of Christ

Pope Francis “Jesus’ way always leads us to happiness. There will always be a cross, trials in the middle, but at the end we are always led to happiness.” Angelus, 1 March 2015   Lenten Action ► Watch more of the interview with Msgr. Viganò. ► Reflect on this Sunday’s Gospel with Arts & Faith: Lent and the Sunday Connection.   Prayer You, O Lord, are the light of our salvation. Whom should we fear?

人生何嚐不是如此啊。赤裸裸來，赤條條走，無人能帶走一生經營的財富與盛名。用青春賺的錢，難以買回青春；用生命賺的錢，難以買回生命；用幸福換來的錢，難以換回幸福；用時間掙來的錢，難以掙回時間。即使用一生得到全世界的錢，全世界的錢也買不回自己的一生。所以該工作時且工作，該休息時且休息，愉快工作，享受生活 ，珍惜所擁有的，愛你所愛的，開心過好每一天。房子再貴，
你睡的只是一張床。

車子再好，
超速還是要吃罰單。

包包再貴，
也只比塑料袋多一個炫富的功能。

別人的老婆再美，
總有一天會變成老太太。

別人的老公再有錢，
不如一個窮光蛋老公愛你。

不要為了追求沒有的 ，
而忘了自己已有的幸福

知足常樂!

錢可以買到棟房子，
但買不到家庭。
錢可以買到鐘錶，
但買不到時間。
錢可以買到床，
但買不到睡眠。
錢可以買到書，
但買不到知識。
錢可以買到醫療服務，
但買不到健康。
錢可以買到地位，
但買不到尊重。
錢可以買到血液，
但買不到生命。
錢可以買到性，
但買不到愛。
