Father Mike Schmitz: 今天我们读完了阿摩司书，阿摩司预言了以色列的毁灭和被掳，但也预示了最终的复兴。我发现以色列人不仅在人与人之间存在欺骗，甚至在与上帝的关系上也斤斤计较。他们急于结束安息日，以便继续进行商业活动，这反映出他们内心对上帝的冷漠。这让我反思，我们是否也常常对上帝的时间感到不耐烦，渴望尽快回到自己的事务中？如果真是这样，我们需要改变自己的心，学习珍惜与上帝同在的时刻。正如纽曼枢机主教所说，如果我们今生不祷告，又怎能预备好进入天堂，享受与上帝永恒的同在呢？虽然以色列最终遭受了毁灭和被掳，但上帝也应许了复兴。这应许在耶稣基督里得以实现，我们这些外邦人也因着信靠耶稣，得以被接在以色列的树上，分享上帝的恩典。因此，我鼓励大家每天都回到上帝面前，用全心、全意、全力爱他，感谢他给我们机会与他建立关系。

As we conclude the book of Amos, we hear Amos rebuke the people for grudgingly giving their time to God, as in prayer or on the sabbath, and counting the minutes until they could do whatever they wanted. Fr. Mike points out that if we don't give our hearts and minds to God, we won't be able to stand heaven, where prayer and praise are everlasting. The readings are 2 Kings 13-14, Amos 7-9, and Psalm 124.
