神父講道 - 將臨期第二週 (週四) (2008年12月11日)
聖達甦一世(達瑪穌)教宗
恭讀聖瑪竇福音　11:11-15我切實告訴你們：「在婦女所生者中，沒有出過一個比授洗的若翰更大的；但在天國中最小的也比他大。從授洗的若翰的日子起直至今日，天國是以猛力去爭奪的， 用強力的人就奪取了它。因為所有的先知和法律所作的預言都到若翰為止。如果你們願意接受的話，他就是那位要來的厄里亞。有耳聽的，聽吧！」
─這是基督的福音。
A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 11:11-15
Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and men of violence take it by force. 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John; 14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is Eli’jah who is to come.15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
—The Gospel of the Lord.
