若望福音 21:15-19

在今天的福音中,耶穌三次問伯多祿愛不愛祂,伯多祿在耶穌第三次問他時感到憂愁,他大概是以為耶穌不相信他。耶穌本來可以問:「你為什麼不認我?」,但祂沒有。耶穌不因過去的錯而譴責我們,祂在乎的是我們會否選擇愛祂。

伯多祿擔任教會的領袖,是耶穌基督親自挑選的。我們在宗徒大事錄看到伯多祿在傳福音時,聖神真的臨在他身上,人們甚至希望能被伯多祿的影子遮在身上,以得到治癒。教宗是教會的領袖,他是宗徒伯多祿的繼承人。我們相信聖神會繼續帶領他,牧養天主的子民。讓我們時常為教宗和他的意向祈禱。

以下是教宗今個月的祈禱意向:
祈禱意向: 為執掌司法的人,能始終恪守公正廉潔和正直良知祈禱。
傳教意向: 為修院,特別是傳教區教會的修院,按照基督之心,培養全部獻身福音宣講的牧人祈禱

John 21:15-19

In today's gospel, Jesus asked Peter three times if he loved Him. When Jesus asked the third time, Peter was distressed, he probably thought Jesus did not believe him. Jesus could have asked: "Why did you deny me?", but He did not. Jesus does not condemn us for our sins, He cares about whether we choose to love Him.

Jesus handpicked Peter to be the leader of the Church. In Acts, we saw that when Peter went to preach the Good News, the Holy Spirit was really with him. People even wished his shadow would fall on the sick for a cure. The Pope continue to leads the Church these days, he is a successor of St. Peter. We trust that the Holy Spirit would guide him to be a pastor of God's people. Let us always pray for the Pope and his intentions.

Listed below are the Holy Father's prayer intentions for this month:
Administrators of Justice. That administrators of justice may act always with integrity and right conscience.
Seminaries. That seminaries, especially those of mission churches, may form pastors after the Heart of Christ, fully dedicated to proclaiming the Gospel.
