매일미사 사순 제2주간 토요일

Lk 15:1-3, 11-32

 

Tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to listen to Jesus, but the Pharisees and scribes began to complain, saying, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

So to them Jesus addressed this parable.
“A man had two sons, and the younger son said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of your estate that should come to me.’ So the father divided the property between them. After a few days, the younger son collected all his belongings and set off to a distant country where he squandered his inheritance on a life of dissipation. When he had freely spent everything, a severe famine struck that country, and he found himself in dire need. So he hired himself out to one of the local citizens who sent him to his farm to tend the swine. And he longed to eat his fill of the pods on which the swine fed, but nobody gave him any. Coming to his senses he thought, ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have more than enough food to eat, but here am I, dying from hunger. I shall get up and go to my father and I shall say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son; treat me as you would treat one of your hired workers.”’ So he got up and went back to his father.
While he was still a long way off, his father caught sight of him, and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him and kissed him. 
His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I no longer deserve to be called your son.’
But his father ordered his servants, ‘Quickly, bring the finest robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Take the fattened calf and slaughter it. Then let us celebrate with a feast, because this son of mine was dead, and has come to life again; he was lost, and has been found.’ Then the celebration began.
Now the older son had been out in the field and, on his way back, as he neared the house, he heard the sound of music and dancing. He called one of the servants and asked what this might mean.
The servant said to him, ‘Your brother has returned and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’
He became angry, and when he refused to enter the house, his father came out and pleaded with him.
He said to his father in reply, ‘Look, all these years I served you and not once did I disobey your orders; yet you never gave me even a young goat to feast on with my friends. But when your son returns who swallowed up your property with prostitutes, for him you slaughter the fattened calf.’
He said to him, ‘My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours. But now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’”

 

 

‘얘야, 너는 늘 나와 함께 있고 내 것이 다 네 것이다. 너의 저 아우는 죽었다가 다시 살아났고 내가 잃었다가 되찾았다.
그러니 즐기고 기뻐해야 한다.’” (루카 15,31)

 

당신 같으신 하느님이 어디 있겠습니까? 그분은 분노를 영원히 품지 않으시고 오히려 기꺼이 자애를 베푸시는 분이시다. 그분께서는 다시 우리를 가엾이 여기시고 우리의 허물들을 모르는 체해 주시리라. (미카 7,18-19)

 

세상에 사는 저희가 천상 것을 미리 맛보게 하시니 하느님께서 계시는 그 찬란한 빛 속으로 들어가도록 저희의 삶을 이끌어 주소서.

 

저희를 죄악에서 건져 주시어 언제나 구원의 길로 나아가게 하소서.

이 세상은 무엇보다도 인간이 가장 무서운 것 같습니다. 하느님께서 가르쳐주시고 알려주시고 몸소 보여주신 '사랑'의 힘으로 지혜롭고 묵묵히 하루하루 나아가게 도와주세요.

 

주님 닮아가야 할진데, 주님이 저에게 베풀어 주신 사랑 잊지 말고 늘 기도로써 되새기며 그 '사랑'대로 저도 살게 도와주세요.

 

허물이 많은 저를 주님께서 모르는 체 해주신 것 생각하며 저 또한 이웃에게 그렇게 해줄 수 있게 도와주세요. 

 

 

라자로 주교님의 표정이 좋습니다. 나이가 들면 얼굴 모습이 그동안 살아온 인생을 말해주는 게 맞는 것 같습니다. 주교님처럼 이웃에게 좋은 에너지가 되는 모습이면 더없이 좋을 것 같습니다. 

네, 주교님 말씀대로 예수님 바라보며 주님의 뜻이 무엇인지 묵상하며 사순시기 보냈으면 합니다.
