我們所有人都知道耶穌是瑪利亞和若瑟的兒

子、天主之子、聖三中之第二位、一位創造奇蹟的

人、一位非常仁慈、寬容及充滿愛心的偉大導師。

但我們有否經常稱耶穌為王，不是一般的王，而是

被釘十字架的默西亞王？我們是否認識到耶穌曾被

授權統治天地？祂不單是以色列的王，更是萬邦之

君。（達7：14）

王權對我們來說是甚麼呢？王權今天可能已經

過時了，與我們現今生活的人人平等、自由的民主

社會脫節。天主原本也不打算給祂的以色列子民一

位王。為甚麼？因為祇有天主是他們的王，他們的

天父及上主，所以，他們不需要另一位王。儘管如

此，出於慈悲，祂允諾祂的子民在逹味的後裔中選

立一位永久的統治者及君王。「我同他永遠保持我的

慈愛，我同他立的約，永不得破壞。」

（聖詠集89：29）

耶穌就是那位天主許諾的王，祂來是為要從罪

惡、詛咒及死亡中釋放祂的子民與及全世界，使他

們脫離魔鬼的欺詐、懕迫及滅亡的國度。耶穌到來

為永恒的王國征服人心及靈魂––這個王國不是以武

力或恐懼而是以聖神內天主的正義、和平及喜樂統治

的。

你願意為那一位統治者及王國服務呢？由魔鬼統

治的黑暗王國還是由真正世界之光的耶穌統治的光明

王國？如果你選擇侍奉耶穌，祂將會打開我們的眼，

俾能見到祂真理之光，並引導我們踏上天主永恒國度

之路。我們將會生活於一個充滿仁愛、憐憫、寛恕和

希望的社群。如果我們選擇侍奉魔鬼，他將會引領我

們步上一條滅亡、暴力、分化及死亡之路，度過罪

惡、驕矜及貪婪的一生。

你會否接受耶穌基督作為你的上主及王、臣服於

祂的統治呢？如果你願意，你將會成為天主慈愛、和

平、正義及喜樂的永恒王國的子民。

主耶穌，來吧！王者耶穌，來吧！

你們的

龔焞執事

教宗祈禱意向

二零一八年十一月

福傳意向: 為世界和平服務

為愛的言語及對話能凌駕於謾駡之聲祈禱。

本主日聖召祈禱意向

今天我們向基督君王敬禮。祂戰勝死亡。祂愛

我們，並以祂的寶血把我們從罪惡中釋放出來；祂透

過聖洗使我們成為王國中的司祭，專責侍奉祂的聖

父、我們的天主。祂作為君王繼續揀選男女以神父、

修女、修士或執事的身份從事服務，使信眾能認識、

愛祂並侍奉祂。如果你感到天主正在向你召叫，請與

多倫多總教區聖召主任 Chris Lemieux 神父聯絡。

Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of The Universe – Nov.24 & 25, 2018

(Year B) Dn 7:13-14 ; Rv 1:5-8 ; Jn 18:33b-37

Spiritual Corner Who is Jesus?

We all know Jesus is the son of Mary and Joseph, the Son of God, and the second person of the Trinity, a miracle worker, a great teacher, very kind and merciful, full of forgiveness and love. But how often do we address Jesus as King, not any king, but the crucified Messiah King? Do we recognize Jesus has been given all authority and power to reign over heaven and earth? He is king not only over the people of Israel, but over all nations as well. (Daniel 7: 14)

What is the meaning of kingship for us? King-ship today seems outdated, out of touch with the democratic societies we live, where everyone is treated equal and free. God at first did not want to give his people of Israel a king. Why? Because God alone was their King, their Abba and their Lord, they needed no other. Nonetheless, God relented and promised his people that through David’s descendants, he would establish a Ruler and King that would last forever. “I will establish his line for ever, and his throne as long as the heaven endures.” (Psalm 89: 29).

Jesus is that promised King, he has come to free his people, and the whole world, from bondage to sin, condemnation and death, and to deliver us from Satan’s kingdom of deception, oppression, and destruction. Jesus came to conquer hearts and souls for an everlasting king-

dom- a kingdom ruled not by force or fear – but by the power of God’s righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Which ruler and kingdom will you serve? The kingdom of darkness ruled by Satan, or the king-dom of light, ruled by Jesus Christ, who is the true Light of the World. If we choose to serve Jesus, he will open our eyes to the light of his truth and guide us on the path to our true eternal homeland with God. We will live in a community of love, compassion, forgiveness and hope. If we choose to serve Satan, he will lead us down a path of de-struction, violence, division, and death, a life of sin, pride, and greed.

Will you accept Jesus Christ as Lord and King? Will you submit yourself to his reign? If yes, we will become a citizen of an everlasting kingdom ruled by God’s love, peace, righteousness and joy.

Come Lord Jesus! Come King Jesus! Yours, Deacon Thomas Kung

Holy Father’s Prayer Intentions—November

Evangelization: In the Service of Peace

That the language of love and dialogue may al-ways prevail over the language of conflict.

Vocation

Today we hail Christ as our King. He is The Victor over the power of death Who loves us and freed us from our sins by His own blood, and Who by Baptism has made us a royal nation of priests in the service of His Father and our God. He Who is King continues to choose men and women to serve as priests, sisters, brothers or deacons, so that the faithful may know Him, love Him and serve Him as well. If God is calling you, contact Fr. Chris Lemieux, Vocation Director, Archdiocese of Toronto. Phone: 416-968-0997 email: vocations@archtoronto.org
