Commemorating the 10th anniversary of 911

今天的福音𥚃伯多祿問耶穌：「主啊！如果我的弟兄得罪了我，我該寬恕他多少次？直到七次嗎？」耶穌對他說：「我不是對你說：直到七次，而是到七十個七次。」（瑪18:21-22）在這紀念日，全人類均需好好反省一下，大家是否要繼續仇恨憎惡報復下去。

「憤恨與惱怒，兩者都是可憎惡的，但罪人卻堅持不放。凡報仇的，必要遭到上主的報復，上主必要保留他的罪。你要寬恕你近人的過錯；這樣，當你祈求時，你的罪惡，也會得到赦免。人如果對人懷恨，怎能向上主求饒呢？對自己同類的人，沒有慈愛，又怎能為自己的罪過求寬赦呢？他既是血肉之人，竟然懷恨不休，而求天主赦罪，誰會赦免他的罪呢？你要記得最後的結局，而停止仇恨；你要記得腐爛與死亡，而遵照誡命生活。你要記得天主的誡命，不要向人發怒；你要記得至高者的盟約，寬恕別人的過錯。」（德訓篇27:33-28:9）

祈望世界和平沒有紛爭，願我能成為和平的工具。

Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me bring your love;
Where there is injury your pardon, Lord;
And where there's doubt true faith in you.

Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there's despair in life let me bring hope;
Where there is darkness, only light;
And where there's sadness, ever joy.

Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
In giving to all men that we receive;
And in dying that we're born to eternal life.
