Daily Bible Reflection

Beginning 1st March 2016, the Regional Biblical Commission of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Malaysia Singapore and Brunei will be posting a daily reflection based on the Gospel reading for the Mass of the Day. It is hoped that this modest effort will be able to assist in promoting Biblical spirituality among Catholics in our region. The first installment (in English, Mandarin and Bahasa Malaysia) is featured below.

1st March 2016 Third Week of Lent Tuesday

REFLECTION
Matthew 18:21-35
“Forgive from your heart”
Forgiveness is a decision, not an emotion. Once we decide to forgive, we free ourselves of carrying the heavy burden of bitterness and self-pity. Let us ask for God’s grace to forgive not seven but seventy-seven times.

Is there someone whom I struggle to forgive?

1-3-16 四旬期第三周星期二

默想
玛18. 21 -35
“从心里宽恕别人”。
宽恕关乎意志而非情感。只要我决定宽恕人,就能卸下敌意和自怜。求主助我宽恕七十个七次 。
谁是我不能轻易宽恕的 ?

1 hb March 2016 Minggu Prapaskah Ketiga Selasa

RENUNGAN
Matius 18:21-35
“Mengampuni dari hati”
Pengampunan adalah keputusan, bukannya emosi. Apabila kita membuat keputusan untuk mengampuni, kita membebaskan diri kita daripada memikul beban kepahitan dan kasihan kepada diri sendiri. Marilah kita memohon rahmat Tuhan untuk mengampuni bukan hanya tujuh kali tetapi tujuh puluh kali tujuh kali.
Adakah saya sedang berjuang untuk mengampuni seseorang ?
