常年期第三十四周星期六 堅守望德 《達尼爾》書作者的神視確認：無論敘利亞王的迫害有多麼可怕，在歷史中有最終決定權的是天主；邪惡必被制伏，而天主仁善的權力必獲全勝。 福音警告我們：我們不可選擇易走但充滿冷漠或邪惡的道路。我們將來必須向人子交帳。因此，我們必須保持警覺，好能懷著信心站在祂面前。不過，我們的希望是重要的。我們是充滿希望的子民。

常年期第三十四周星期四 對一位施以拯救的天主之信德 今日讀經一的故事並非記述歷史，而為予人啟迪。經文再次提及安提約古四世，即“厄丕法乃”，強迫帝國境內的人民只可向他的神明——巴耳宙斯（Baal-Zeus）——祈禱，他自詡為其化身。猶太人（以達尼爾為代表）當然會反抗這道命令。 耶路撒冷的毀滅，以及大自然災難的種種標記，在我們看來，標誌著基督徒在生活中遭受的種種磨難，以及天主之國臨現人間的艱難。不過，我們不可忘記，因著我們的自私，我們對權力的渴望，以及我們使彼此遭受的一切邪惡，我們自己亦阻延了天國的來臨。但我們的微薄之力，仍將有助於使救恩速速臨近。得臨在於我們中間的基督相助，我們能夠在真愛、寬恕、憐憫與和平中成長。我們應該在希望中抬起頭來。
