The Lord stated to me, "You are Israel, my servant, through you I will be known."

He stated: "It is not enough that you be my servant, to restore the tribes of Jacob, to bring back the remnant of Israel. I will make you the light of the nations, that my salvation will reach to the ends of the earth."
Second Reading (1 Corinthians 1: 1–3)

Receive grace and peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Gospel (John 1: 29–34)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and stated, "There is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world. It is he of whom I stated: A man comes after me who is already ahead of me, for he was before me. I myself did not know him, but I came baptizing to prepare for him, so that he might be revealed in Israel." And John also gave this testimony, "I saw the Spirit coming down on him like a dove from heaven and resting on him. I myself did not know him but God who sent me to baptize told me: 'You will see the Spirit coming down and resting on the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' Yes, I have seen! and I declare that this is the Chosen One of God.

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 40) (Verses 2, 4a, and 7-10)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: Here I am, Lord; I have come to do your will.
With resolve I waited for the Lord; he listened and heard me beg. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God.
Sacrifice or oblation you did not desire; this you had me understand. Burnt offering and sin offering you do not require. Then I stated, "Here I come!"
As the scroll says of me, "To do your will is my delight, O God, for your law is within my heart."
In the great assembly I have proclaimed your saving help. My lips, O Lord, I did not seal – you know that very well.
This is the Kyrie for the 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time.

This is the Opening Prayer in the 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time.
ReplyDeleteLet us pray. Almighty and ever-present Father, your watchful care reaches from end to end and orders all things in such power that even the tensions and the tragedies of sin cannot frustrate your loving plans. Help us to embrace your will, give us the strength to follow your call, so that your truth may live in our hearts and reflect peace to those who believe in your love. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. (Amen)
Father, may we celebrate the eucharist with reverence and love, for when we proclaim the death of the Lord, you continue the work of his redemption, who is Lord forever and ever. (Amen)
ReplyDeleteFather, all-powerful and ever-living God, we do well always and everywhere to give you thanks. So great was your love that you gave us your Son as our redeemer. You sent him as one like ourselves, though free from sin, that you might see and love in us and what you see and love in Christ. Your gifts of grace, lost by disobedience, are now restored by the obedience of your Son. We praise you, Lord, with all the angels and saints in their song of joy. (After this, you sing the Sanctus.)

ReplyDeletePrimera Lectura (Isaías 49: 3 y 5–6)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro del profeta Isaías.
Él me dijo, “Tú eres mi servidor, Israel, y por ti me daré a conocer.” Y ahora ha hablado Yahvé, que me formó desde el seno materno para que fuera su servidor, para que le traiga a Jacob y le junte a Israel: “No vale la pena que seas mi servidor únicamente para restablecer a las tribus de Jacob, o traer sus sobrevivientes a su patria. Tú serás, además, una luz para las naciones, para que mi salvación llegue hasta el último extremo de la tierra.”
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 40) (Versículos 2, 4ª y 7–10)
La respuesta es: Aquí estoy, Señor, he venido para hacer tu voluntad.
• Esperé confiadamente en el Señor: él se inclinó hacia mí y escuchó mi clamor. Puso en mi boca un canto nuevo, un himno a nuestro Dios.
• Tú no quisiste víctima ni oblación; pero me diste un oído atento; no pediste holocaustos ni sacrificios, entonces dije: “Aquí estoy.”
• En el libro de la Ley está escrito lo que tengo que hacer: “yo amo. Dios mío, tu voluntad, y tu ley está en mi corazón.”
• Proclamé gozosamente tu justicia en la gran asamblea; no, no mantuve cerrados mis labios, tú lo sabes, Señor.
Segunda Lectura (1 Corintios 1: 1–3)
Una lectura de la primera carta de San Pablo a los corintios.
Pablo, llamado a ser Apóstol de Jesucristo por la voluntad de Dios, y el hermano Sostenes, saludan a la Iglesia de Dios que reside en Corinto, a los que han sido santificados en Cristo Jesús y llamados a ser santos, junto con todos aquellos que en cualquier parte invocan el nombre de Jesucristo, nuestro Señor, Señor de ellos y nuestro. Llegue a ustedes la gracia y la paz que proceden de Dios, nuestro Padre, y del Señor Jesucristo.
Evangelio (Juan 1: 29–34)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según San Juan.
Al día siguiente, Juan vio acercarse a Jesús y dijo: “Este es el Cordero de Dios, que quita el pecado del mundo. A él me refería, cuando dije: Después de mí viene un hombre que me precede, porque existía antes que yo. Yo no lo conocía, pero he venido a bautizar con agua para que él fuera manifestado a Israel.” Y Juan dio este testimonio: “He visto al Espíritu descender del cielo en forma de paloma y permanecer sobre él. Yo no lo conocía, pero el que me envió a bautizar con agua me dijo: ‘Aquel sobre el que veas descender el Espíritu y permanecer sobre él, ese es el que bautiza en el Espíritu Santo.’ Yo lo he visto y doy testimonio de que él es el Hijo de Dios.”
