Matthew 26:14-25
圣玛窦福音 26:14-25
In today’s Gospel reading, God teaches me that betrayal doesn’t always come from strangers; it can actually come from the people we are closest to.
It also made me realise that our choices matter. Just as Judas made a decision and faced its consequences, the same goes for me—every decision has its consequences, whether good or bad. I learnt that we have to take responsibility for our actions and not blame others or ignore what we’ve done.
This reading also made me realise how important it is to be honest and to trust others in my relationships. At the same time, it reminded me that sometimes things happen that I may not understand straight away, but that doesn’t mean God isn’t in control.
Even when life seems difficult or unfair, I’ve learnt that I should put my trust in God. I might not see the full picture now, but I believe God has a plan for me.
Take a moment in prayer to ask the Lord: ‘What are You revealing to me through this Gospel?’ Be open to His voice and allow His Word to transform your heart.
在今天的福音中，天主教导我，背叛未必来自陌生人，它也可能来自我们亲近的人。
这也让我意识到我们的选择很重要。就如犹达斯为其所做的决定付上代价；同样的，我也必须为我所做的决定，无论好坏，付上代价。我也学会了对我所有的行为负起责任而不是责怪别人或忽视它。
这段福音也让我领悟在人际关系中，对他人的信任与忠诚是那么的重要。於此同时，它也提醒我一切发生在我身上的事情，我也许不能理解事发的原因，但不意味着没有在天主的掌控之中。
即使在生活中面对困难和不公，我必须学会信靠并交托给天主；目前，也许我还看不清状况，但我坚信天主有祂的计划。
让我们静默祈祷，“主，祢藉着这段福音要告诉我什么信息呢？”我们打开心门聆听并接受主的声音，让主的话语改变我们的心。
