The daily readings of the mass indicate the direction of this preparation and renewal : " return to the lord " . they also help us understand the inseparable triple relationship : the prayer and fasting of those who do not care for their neighbour will not be pleasing to god 每天的弥撒读经指出这准备和这更新的大方向:归依天主,也指出三件帮助我们皈依天主的事:祈祷禁食及关怀贫苦,这三件事又有彼此不能分割的关系,圣经里特别强调,不关怀近人的人,他的祈祷和戒天主也不会悦纳。
