A reflection on Matthew 18:19-20
Sunday of the Twenty-Third Week in Ordinary Time (Year A)
©️2023 Gloria M. Chang
“Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
Matthew 18:19-20 (RSV)
Harmony of the Holy Trinity
God the Father, from whom the Son is begotten and from whom the Holy Spirit proceeds, is the origin of personal unity and diversity. A harmony of hearts among children in Christ’s name mirrors the harmony of the Holy Trinity, drawing them to the Father, the source of divine love.
Abba answers the prayer
Of a harmonious pair.
For Jesus’ love is aflame
Midst two or three in his Name.
Traditional Chinese Translation
《心靈之和諧》
阿爸天父垂聽一對
和諧心靈的禱告。
因為耶穌的愛燃燒在
兩三個人奉祂的名聚會當中。
