READINGS FOR SUNDAY 26TH OCTOBER 2013.

FIRST READING EXODUS 22:20-26

Thus says the LORD:
"You shall not molest or oppress an alien,
for you were once aliens yourselves in the land of Egypt.
You shall not wrong any widow or orphan.
If ever you wrong them and they cry out to me,
I will surely hear their cry.
My wrath will flare up, and I will kill you with the sword;
then your own wives will be widows, and your children orphans.

"If you lend money to one of your poor neighbors among my people,
you shall not act like an extortioner toward him
by demanding interest from him.
If you take your neighbor's cloak as a pledge,
you shall return it to him before sunset;
for this cloak of his is the only covering he has for his body.
What else has he to sleep in?
If he cries out to me, I will hear him; for I am compassionate."

RESPONSORIAL PSALM

 PSALMS 18 2-3,3-4,47,51

R/ (2) I love you, Lord, my strength.
I love you, O LORD, my strength,
O LORD, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer.
R/ I love you, Lord, my strength.
My God, my rock of refuge,
my shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold!
Praised be the LORD, I exclaim,
and I am safe from my enemies.
R/ I love you, Lord, my strength.
The LORD lives and blessed be my rock!
Extolled be God my savior.
You who gave great victories to your king
and showed kindness to your anointed.
R/ I love you, Lord, my strength.

SECOND READING: 1 THESSALONIANS 1 5C-10 

Brothers and sisters:
You know what sort of people we were among you for your sake.
And you became imitators of us and of the Lord,
receiving the word in great affliction, with joy from the Holy Spirit,
so that you became a model for all the believers
in Macedonia and in Achaia.
For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth
not only in Macedonia and in Achaia,
but in every place your faith in God has gone forth,
so that we have no need to say anything.
For they themselves openly declare about us
what sort of reception we had among you,
and how you turned to God from idols
to serve the living and true God
and to await his Son from heaven,
whom he raised from the dead,
Jesus, who delivers us from the coming wrath.

GOSPEL MATTHEW 22:34-40

When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees,
they gathered together, and one of them,
a scholar of the law tested him by asking,
"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"
He said to him,
"You shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second is like it:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."

 SATURDAY 25TH OCTOBER 2014.

FIRST READING 

EPHESIANS 4:7-16 

Brothers and sisters:
Grace was given to each of us
according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
Therefore, it says:

He ascended on high and took prisoners captive;
he gave gifts to men.

What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended
into the lower regions of the earth?
The one who descended is also the one who ascended
far above all the heavens,
that he might fill all things.

And he gave some as Apostles, others as prophets,
others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers,
to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry,
for building up the Body of Christ,
until we all attain to the unity of faith
and knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood
to the extent of the full stature of Christ,
so that we may no longer be infants,
tossed by waves and swept along by every wind of teaching
arising from human trickery,
from their cunning in the interests of deceitful scheming.
Rather, living the truth in love,
we should grow in every way into him who is the head, Christ,
from whom the whole Body,
joined and held together by every supporting ligament,
with the proper functioning of each part,
brings about the Body’s growth and builds itself up in love.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM

 PSALMS 122

R. (1) Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
I rejoiced because they said to me,
“We will go up to the house of the LORD.”
And now we have set foot
within your gates, O Jerusalem.
R. Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
Jerusalem, built as a city
with compact unity.
To it the tribes go up,
the tribes of the LORD.
R. Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
According to the decree for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
In it are set up judgment seats,
seats for the house of David.
R. Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.

GOSPEL 

LUKE 13: 1-9

Some people told Jesus about the Galileans
whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
He said to them in reply,
“Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way
they were greater sinners than all other Galileans?
By no means!
But I tell you, if you do not repent,
you will all perish as they did!
Or those eighteen people who were killed
when the tower at Siloam fell on them–
do you think they were more guilty
than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem?
By no means!
But I tell you, if you do not repent,
you will all perish as they did!”

And he told them this parable:
“There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard,
and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none,
he said to the gardener,
‘For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree
but have found none.
So cut it down.
Why should it exhaust the soil?’
He said to him in reply,
‘Sir, leave it for this year also,
and I shall cultivate the ground around it and fertilize it;
it may bear fruit in the future.
If not you can cut it down.’”

BE BLESSED.

FIRST READING

EPHESIANS 1:1-10

Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,
to the holy ones who are in Ephesus
and faithful in Christ Jesus:
grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in Christ
with every spiritual blessing in the heavens,
as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world,
to be holy and without blemish before him.
In love he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ,
in accord with the favor of his will,
for the praise of the glory of his grace
that he granted us in the beloved.

In Christ we have redemption by his Blood,
the forgiveness of transgressions,
in accord with the riches of his grace that he lavished upon us.
In all wisdom and insight, he has made known to us
the mystery of his will in accord with his favor
that he set forth in him as a plan for the fullness of times,
to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth.

RESPONSORIAL  PSALM

 Psalms 98:1,2-3ab,3cd-4,5-6

R. (2a) The Lord has made known his salvation.
Sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done wondrous deeds;
His right hand has won victory for him,
his holy arm.
R. The Lord has made known his salvation.
The LORD has made his salvation known:
in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice.
He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness
toward the house of Israel.
R. The Lord has made known his salvation.
All the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation by our God.
Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
break into song; sing praise.
R. The Lord has made known his salvation.
Sing praise to the LORD with the harp,
with the harp and melodious song.
With trumpets and the sound of the horn
sing joyfully before the King, the LORD.
R. The Lord has made known his salvation.

Gospel

 Luke 11:47-54

The Lord said:
“Woe to you who build the memorials of the prophets
whom your fathers killed.
Consequently, you bear witness and give consent
to the deeds of your ancestors,
for they killed them and you do the building.
Therefore, the wisdom of God said,
‘I will send to them prophets and Apostles;
some of them they will kill and persecute’
in order that this generation might be charged
with the blood of all the prophets
shed since the foundation of the world,
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah
who died between the altar and the temple building.
Yes, I tell you, this generation will be charged with their blood!
Woe to you, scholars of the law!
You have taken away the key of knowledge.
You yourselves did not enter and you stopped those trying to enter.”
When Jesus left, the scribes and Pharisees
began to act with hostility toward him
and to interrogate him about many things,
for they were plotting to catch him at something he might say.

 BE BLESSED.

PRIMERA LECTURA
Efesios 1: 1-10
Pablo, apóstol de Cristo Jesús por la voluntad de Dios,
a los santos que están en Efeso
y fieles en Cristo Jesús:
gracia y paz a vosotros, de Dios nuestro Padre y del Señor Jesucristo.

Bendito sea el Dios y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo,
que nos ha bendecido en Cristo
con toda clase de bendiciones espirituales, en los cielos,
según nos escogió en él antes de la fundación del mundo,
para que fuésemos santos y sin mancha delante de él.
En amor nos predestinó para adopción a sí mismo por medio de Jesucristo,
de acuerdo con el favor de su voluntad,
para alabanza de la gloria de su gracia
que él nos ha concedido en el amado.

En Cristo tenemos redención por su sangre,
el perdón de los pecados,
de acuerdo con las riquezas de su gracia, que hizo sobreabundar sobre nosotros.
En toda sabiduría y discernimiento, que ha dado a conocer
el misterio de su voluntad de acuerdo a su favor
que se establece en él como un plan para el cumplimiento de los tiempos,
de reunir todas las cosas en Cristo, en el cielo y en la tierra.
SALMO RESPONSORIAL
  Salmos 98: 1,2-3ab, 3CD-4,5-6
R. (2 bis) El Señor ha dado a conocer su salvación.
Cantad al Señor un cántico nuevo,
porque ha hecho maravillas;
Su mano derecha ha ganado la victoria para él,
su santo brazo.
R. El Señor da a conocer su victoria.
El Señor ha dado a conocer su victoria:
a la vista de las naciones ha revelado su justicia.
Se ha acordado de su misericordia y su fidelidad
hacia la casa de Israel.
R. El Señor da a conocer su victoria.
Los confines de la tierra han contemplado
la victoria de nuestro Dios.
Aclama al Señor, toda la tierra;
romper a cantar; cantaré.
R. El Señor da a conocer su victoria.
Canten al Señor con el arpa,
con el arpa y canto melodioso.
Con trompetas y el sonido de la bocina
cantan con alegría ante el Rey, el SEÑOR.
R. El Señor da a conocer su victoria.
Evangelio
  Lucas 11: 47-54

El Señor dijo:
"¡Ay de ustedes que construir los monumentos conmemorativos de los profetas
a quien sus padres murieron.
En consecuencia, dais testimonio y da su consentimiento
a las obras de sus antepasados​​,
porque ellos los mataron y ustedes hacen el edificio.
Por lo tanto, la sabiduría de Dios dijo:
"Les enviaré profetas y apóstoles;
algunos de ellos matarán y perseguirán '
con el fin de que esta generación podría ser acusado
con la sangre de todos los profetas
derramada desde la fundación del mundo,
desde la sangre de Abel hasta la sangre de Zacarías
que murió entre el altar y el edificio del templo.
Sí, os digo, esta generación se cargará con su sangre!
¡Ay de ustedes, maestros de la Ley!
Has quitado la llave del conocimiento.
Ustedes mismos no entró y que dejó de aquellos que tratan de entrar ".
Cuando Jesús se fue, los escribas y fariseos
comenzó a actuar con hostilidad hacia él
y para interrogarlo acerca de muchas cosas,
porque ellos estaban conspirando para atraparlo en algo que podría decir.

MASS READINGS FOR WEDNESDAY 15TH OCTOBER 2014.

FIRST READING: GALATIANS 5:18-25 

Brothers and sisters:
If you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are obvious:
immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry,
sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy,
outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness,
dissensions, factions, occasions of envy,
drinking bouts, orgies, and the like.
I warn you, as I warned you before,
that those who do such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, generosity,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Against such there is no law.
Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their flesh
with its passions and desires.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM 

PSALMS 1:1-2,3,4 AND 6.

R.  Those who follow you, Lord, will have the light of life.
Blessed the man who follows not
the counsel of the wicked
Nor walks in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the company of the insolent,
But delights in the law of the LORD
and meditates on his law day and night.
R. Those who follow you, Lord, will have the light of life.
He is like a tree
planted near running water,
That yields its fruit in due season,
and whose leaves never fade.
Whatever he does, prospers.
R. Those who follow you, Lord, will have the light of life.
Not so the wicked, not so;
they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
For the LORD watches over the way of the just,
but the way of the wicked vanishes.
R. Those who follow you, Lord, will have the light of life.

GOSPEL 

LUKE 11:42-46

The Lord said:
“Woe to you Pharisees!
You pay tithes of mint and of rue and of every garden herb,
but you pay no attention to judgment and to love for God.
These you should have done, without overlooking the others.
Woe to you Pharisees!
You love the seat of honor in synagogues
and greetings in marketplaces.
Woe to you!
You are like unseen graves over which people unknowingly walk.”

Then one of the scholars of the law said to him in reply,
“Teacher, by saying this you are insulting us too.”
And he said, “Woe also to you scholars of the law!
You impose on people burdens hard to carry,
but you yourselves do not lift one finger to touch them.”

BE BLESSED.

Lecturas de la Misa para el miércoles 15 de octubre de 2014.
PRIMERA LECTURA: Gálatas 5: 18-25
Hermanos y hermanas:
Si usted es guiado por el Espíritu, no estáis bajo la ley.
Ahora las obras de la carne son evidentes:
inmoralidad, impureza, libertinaje, idolatría,
hechicería, odios, rivalidades, celos,
arrebatos de furia, los actos de egoísmo,
disensiones, herejías, ocasiones de la envidia,
borracheras, orgías, y similares.
Te lo advierto, como ya os previne,
que los que practican tales cosas no heredarán el Reino de Dios.
En cambio, el fruto del Espíritu es amor, gozo, paz,
la paciencia, la bondad, la generosidad,
fidelidad, mansedumbre, dominio de sí mismo.
Contra tales cosas no hay ley.
Pero los que son de Cristo Jesús han crucificado la carne
con sus pasiones y deseos.
Si vivimos por el Espíritu, obremos también seguimos al Espíritu.
SALMO RESPONSORIAL
SALMOS 1: 1-2,3,4 Y 6.
R. Los que te siguen, Señor, tendrá la luz de la vida.
Bendito el hombre que no sigue
el consejo de los impíos
Tampoco anda en camino de pecadores,
ni se sienta en la reunión de los cínicos,
Sino que su gozo en la ley de Jehová
y medita su ley día y noche.
R. Los que te siguen, Señor, tendrá la luz de la vida.
Él es como un árbol
plantado cerca de agua corriente,
Que da su fruto en su tiempo,
y cuyas hojas nunca se desvanecen.
Todo lo que hace, prospera.
R. Los que te siguen, Señor, tendrá la luz de la vida.
No así los impíos, no así;
que son como el tamo que arrebata el viento.
Porque Jehová conoce el camino de los justos,
pero el camino de los impíos se desvanece.
R. Los que te siguen, Señor, tendrá la luz de la vida.
EVANGELIO
Lucas 11: 42-46

El Señor dijo:
"¡Ay de vosotros, fariseos!
Usted paga diezmos de la menta, de la ruda y de toda hortaliza huerto,
pero no le das importancia a la sentencia y dar amor a Dios.
Estos que debería haber hecho, sin descuidar los otros.
¡Ay de vosotros, fariseos!
Te encanta el sitio de honor en las sinagogas
y las salutaciones en los mercados.
¡Ay de vosotros!
Que sois como sepulcros que no se ven más que las personas caminan sin saberlo ".

Entonces, uno de los estudiosos de la ley dice que le respondió:
"Maestro, al decir esto nos está insultando también."
Y él dijo: "¡Ay también de vosotros, maestros de la Ley!
Usted imponer a las personas cargas difíciles de llevar,
pero vosotros no levante un dedo para tocar ".

MASS READINGS FOR TUESDAY 14TH OCTOBER 2014.
  

Tuesday of the Twenty-eighth Week in Ordinary Time

 

first Reading 1 Galatians 5:1-6 

 

Brothers and sisters:
For freedom Christ set us free;
so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.

It is I, Paul, who am telling you
that if you have yourselves circumcised,
Christ will be of no benefit to you.
Once again I declare to every man who has himself circumcised
that he is bound to observe the entire law.
You are separated from Christ,
you who are trying to be justified by law;
you have fallen from grace.
For through the Spirit, by faith, we await the hope of righteousness.
For in Christ Jesus,
neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything,
but only faith working through love.

Responsorial Psalm 

 

 Psalms 119:41,43,44,45,47,48

R. (41a) Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.
Let your mercy come to me, O LORD,
your salvation according to your promise.
R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.
Take not the word of truth from my mouth,
for in your ordinances is my hope.
R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.
And I will keep your law continually,
forever and ever.
R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.
And I will walk at liberty,
because I seek your precepts.
R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.
And I will delight in your commands,
which I love.
R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.
And I will lift up my hands to your commands
and meditate on your statutes.
R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.

Gospel 

 

Luke 11:37-41

After Jesus had spoken,
a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home.
He entered and reclined at table to eat.
The Pharisee was amazed to see
that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal.
The Lord said to him, “Oh you Pharisees!
Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish,
inside you are filled with plunder and evil.
You fools!
Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside?
But as to what is within, give alms,
and behold, everything will be clean for you.”

BE BLESSED.

Martes de la XXVIII Semana del Tiempo Ordinario

primera lectura 1 Gálatas 5: 1-6

Hermanos y hermanas:
Libertad con que Cristo nos hizo libres;
así permanecer firmes y no se sometan de nuevo al yugo de la esclavitud.

Soy yo, Pablo, que soy que le dice
que si os habéis circuncidado,
Cristo no será de ningún beneficio para usted.
Una vez más me declaro a todo hombre que se ha circuncidado
que está obligado a observar toda la ley.
Usted está separado de Cristo,
ustedes que tratan de ser justificados por la ley;
que ha caído de la gracia.
Por medio del Espíritu, por fe, esperamos la esperanza de la justicia.
Porque en Cristo Jesús,
ni la circuncisión ni la incircuncisión,
sino la fe que obra por el amor.
Salmo responsorial

  Salmos 119: 41,43,44,45,47,48
R. (41 bis) Que tu misericordia venga a mí, oh Señor.
Que tu misericordia venga a mí, oh Jehová,
tu salvación, conforme a tu promesa.
R. Que tu misericordia venga a mí, oh Señor.
No toméis la palabra de la verdad de mi boca,
en sus ordenanzas es mi esperanza.
R. Que tu misericordia venga a mí, oh Señor.
Y voy a seguir tu ley siempre,
por los siglos de los siglos.
R. Que tu misericordia venga a mí, oh Señor.
Y andaré en libertad,
porque busco tus preceptos.
R. Que tu misericordia venga a mí, oh Señor.
Y me deleitaré en tus mandamientos,
que me encanta.
R. Que tu misericordia venga a mí, oh Señor.
Y Alzaré mis manos a tus mandamientos
y meditaré en tus estatutos.
R. Que tu misericordia venga a mí, oh Señor.
Evangelio

Lucas 11: 37-41

Después de que Jesús había hablado,
un fariseo lo invitó a comer en su casa.
Él entró y se sentó a la mesa para comer.
El fariseo se sorprendió al ver
que él no observó el lavado prescrito antes de la comida.
El Señor le dijo: "Oh vosotros, fariseos!
Aunque usted limpiar el exterior de la copa y el plato,
dentro estáis llenos de rapiña y maldad.
¡Necios!
¿No dijo el creador del exterior también hacer el interior?
Pero en cuanto a lo que está dentro, dar limosna,
y he aquí, todo va a estar limpio para usted ".

28TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME.

First reading
Galatians 4:22-24,26-27,31-5:1

The Law says, if you remember, that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave-girl, and one by his free-born wife. The child of the slave-girl was born in the ordinary way; the child of the free woman was born as the result of a promise. This can be regarded as an allegory: the women stand for the two covenants. The first who comes from Mount Sinai, and whose children are slaves, is Hagar – The Jerusalem above, however, is free and is our mother, since scripture says: Shout for joy, you barren women who bore no children! Break into shouts of joy and gladness, you who were never in labour. For there are more sons of the forsaken one than sons of the wedded wife. So, my brothers, we are the children, not of the slave-girl, but of the free-born wife.

  When Christ freed us, he meant us to remain free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.

Gospel	Luke 11:29-32

The crowds got even bigger and Jesus addressed them, ‘This is a wicked generation; it is asking for a sign The only sign it will be given is the sign of Jonah. For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. On Judgement day the Queen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and there is something greater than Solomon here. On Judgement day the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation and condemn it, because when Jonah preached they repented; and there is something greater than Jonah here.’

BE BLESSED.

primera lectura
Gálatas 4 : 22-24,26-27,31-5 : 1
La Ley dice , si usted recuerda que Abraham tuvo dos hijos: uno de la esclava , y uno de su esposa nacida en libertad . El hijo de la esclava nació en la forma ordinaria ; el hijo de la mujer libre nació como resultado de una promesa . Esto puede considerarse como una alegoría : las mujeres representan los dos pactos . El primero que viene desde el monte Sinaí , y cuyos hijos son los esclavos , es Agar - La Jerusalén de arriba , sin embargo , es libre y es nuestra madre , ya que la Escritura dice: Gritad de alegría, que las mujeres estériles que llevaban sin hijos ! Romper en gritos de gozo y alegría, la que nunca estuvo de parto. Porque hay más hijos de la abandonada uno de hijos de la mujer casada . Así que , hermanos míos , que son los niños , no de la esclava , sino de la mujer libre - nacidos .
  Cuando Cristo nos liberó , nos significaba permanecer libres . Manténgase firme , por lo tanto , y no se sometan de nuevo al yugo de la esclavitud .
Salmo Salmo 112: 1-7

Porque así como Jonás fue señal a los ninivitas , así lo será el Hijo del hombre para esta generación . El día del Juicio Final de la Reina del Sur se levantará con los hombres de esta generación y los condenará , porque ella vino de los confines de la tierra para escuchar la sabiduría de Salomón ; y hay algo más que Salomón . El día del Juicio Final los hombres de Nínive se levantarán contra esta generación y la condenarán , porque cuando Jonás predicó ellos se arrepintieron ; y hay algo más que Jonás . "

On this mountain,

the Lord of hosts will prepare for all peoples

a banquet of rich food.

On this mountain he will remove

the mourning veil covering all peoples,

and the shroud enwrapping all nations,

he will destroy Death for ever.

The Lord will wipe away

the tears from every cheek;

he will take away his people’s shame

everywhere on earth,

for the Lord has said so.

That day, it will be said: See, this is our God

We exult and we rejoice

that he has saved us.

Psalm	Psalm 22:1-6

In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell for ever and ever.

The Lord is my shepherd;

  there is nothing I shall want.

Fresh and green are the pastures

  where he gives me repose.

Near restful waters he leads me,

  to revive my drooping spirit.

In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell for ever and ever.

He guides me along the right path;

  he is true to his name.

If I should walk in the valley of darkness

  no evil would I fear.

You are there with your crook and your staff;

  with these you give me comfort.

In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell for ever and ever.

You have prepared a banquet for me

  in the sight of my foes.

My head you have anointed with oil;

  my cup is overflowing.

In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell for ever and ever.

Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me

  all the days of my life.

In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell

  for ever and ever.

In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell for ever and ever.

Second reading
Philippians 4:12-14,19-20

I know how to be poor and I know how to be rich too. I have been through my initiation and now I am ready for anything anywhere: full stomach or empty stomach, poverty or plenty. There is nothing I cannot master with the help of the One who gives me strength. All the same, it was good of you to share with me in my hardships. In return my God will fulfil all your needs, in Christ Jesus, as lavishly as only God can. Glory to God, our Father, for ever and ever. Amen.

Gospel	Matthew 22:1-14

Jesus said to the chief priests and elders of the people, ‘The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a feast for his son’s wedding. He sent his servants to call those who had been invited, but they would not come. Next he sent some more servants. “Tell those who have been invited” he said “that I have my banquet all prepared, my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, everything is ready. Come to the wedding.” But they were not interested: one went off to his farm, another to his business, and the rest seized his servants, maltreated them and killed them. The king was furious. He despatched his troops, destroyed those murderers and burnt their town. Then he said to his servants, “The wedding is ready; but as those who were invited proved to be unworthy, go to the crossroads in the town and invite everyone you can find to the wedding.” So these servants went out on to the roads and collected together everyone they could find, bad and good alike; and the wedding hall was filled with guests. When the king came in to look at the guests he noticed one man who was not wearing a wedding garment, and said to him, “How did you get in here, my friend, without a wedding garment?” And the man was silent. Then the king said to the attendants, “Bind him hand and foot and throw him out into the dark, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.” For many are called, but few are chosen.’

VIGÉSIMO OCTAVO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO.
Primera lectura Isaías 25: 6-10
En esta montaña,
el Señor de los ejércitos preparará para todos los pueblos
un banquete de manjares suculentos.
En esta montaña se eliminará
el velo de luto que cubre todos los pueblos,
y el sudario que envuelve a todas las naciones,
él destruirá la muerte para siempre.
El Señor enjugará
las lágrimas de todos los rostros;
le quitará la vergüenza de su pueblo
por todas partes en la tierra,
porque el Señor ha dicho.
Ese día, se dirá: Mira, éste es nuestro Dios
en quien esperábamos la salvación;
el Señor es aquel en quien esperábamos.
Nos gloriamos y nos regocijamos
que él nos ha salvado.
Salmo Salmo 22: 1-6
En la propia casa del Señor haré morar por siempre jamás.
El Señor es mi pastor;
   no hay nada me falta.
Fresco y verde son los pastos
   donde me da reposo.
Cerca de fuentes tranquilas me conduce,
   para revivir mi espíritu caído.
En la propia casa del Señor haré morar por siempre jamás.
Me guiará por el camino correcto;
   él es fiel a su nombre.
Si yo caminase por el valle de la oscuridad
   ningún mal tendría que temer.
Usted está allí con su cayado y su personal;
   con éstos me dan consuelo.
En la propia casa del Señor haré morar por siempre jamás.
Has preparado un banquete para mí
   ante los ojos de mis enemigos.
La cabeza me has ungido con aceite;
   mi copa rebosa.
En la propia casa del Señor haré morar por siempre jamás.
Ciertamente el bien y la misericordia me seguirán
   todos los días de mi vida.
En la propia casa del Señor haré morar
   para siempre jamás.
En la propia casa del Señor haré morar por siempre jamás.
Segunda lectura
Filipenses 4: 12-14,19-20
Yo sé cómo ser pobres y sé cómo ser rico también. He pasado por mi iniciación y ahora estoy listo para cualquier cosa en cualquier lugar: el estómago lleno o vacío el estómago, la pobreza o la abundancia. No hay nada que no puedo dominar con la ayuda de Aquel que me conforta. De todos modos, fue muy amable al compartir conmigo en mis penurias. A cambio de mi Dios cumplirá todas sus necesidades, en Cristo Jesús, como profusamente como sólo Dios puede hacerlo. Gloria a Dios, nuestro Padre, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
Aclamación antes del Evangelio JN1: 14,12
Aleluya, aleluya!
La Palabra se hizo carne y habitó entre nosotros:
a todos los que lo recibieron
les dio poder de hacerse hijos de Dios.
¡Aleluya!
O cf.Ep1: 17,18
Aleluya, aleluya!
Que el Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo
iluminar los ojos de nuestra mente,
para que podamos ver lo que esperamos su llamada tiene para nosotros.
¡Aleluya!

Saturday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time

Reading 1 

GALATIANS 3:22-29

Brothers and sisters:
Scripture confined all things under the power of sin,
that through faith in Jesus Christ
the promise might be given to those who believe.
Before faith came, we were held in custody under law,
confined for the faith that was to be revealed.
Consequently, the law was our disciplinarian for Christ,
that we might be justified by faith.
But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a disciplinarian.
For through faith you are all children of God in Christ Jesus.
For all of you who were baptized into Christ
have clothed yourselves with Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither slave nor free person,
there is not male and female;
for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants,
heirs according to the promise.
