我們今天讀到的是一個傳統故事的開頭，講述了一個義人即使身處各種屈辱之中，也始終堅守對天主的信仰和順服，最終得到獎賞。

我們不知道約伯是否是猶太人。

然而，我們知道他智慧的回答：既然天主賜給他一切，他也承認天主有權收回一切。

或許，在耶穌降臨之後，我們可以稍作修改：天主並非“拿走”，而是賜予我們“獻給祂”的機會。

這不僅是接受愛，更是為了以愛的方式擁有我們所領受的一切，如同禮物一般，這份禮物因著雙方透過無私的互惠不斷給予而無限增值。

What we read today is the beginning of a traditional story about a righteous man, who keeps his faith and obedience to God even in the midst of all kinds of disgraces, and is finally rewarded.

We do not know whether Job was a Jew.

We know, however, his wise answer: since God is the one who gave him everything, he acknowledges that He has also the right of taking away everything.

Perhaps, after the coming of Jesus, we can change one word: God does not “take away,” God gives us the opportunity to “offer to Him,” not only to receive love, but to possess in a loving way what we have received, as a gift that both sides continually give and multiply by their selfless reciprocal giving.
