First Reading (Isaiah 55: 1–3)
A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
Come here, all you who are thirsty, come to the water! All you who have no money, come! Yes, without money and at no cost, buy and drink wine and milk. Why spend money on what is not food and labor for what does not satisfy? Listen to me, and you will eat well; you will enjoy the richest of fare. Incline your ear and come to me; listen, that your soul may live. I will make with you and everlasting covenant, I will fulfill in you my promises to David.
Second Reading (Romans 8: 35 and 37–39)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
Brothers and sisters: Who shall separate is from the love of Christ? Will it be trials, or anguish, persecution or hunger, lack of clothing, or dangers or sword? No, in all of this we are more than conquerors, thanks to him who has loved us. I am certain that neither death nor life, neither angels nor spiritual powers, neither the present nor the future, nor cosmic powers, were they from heaven or from the deep world below, nor any creature whatsoever will separate us from the love of God, which we have in Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Gospel (Matthew 14: 13–21)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
On hearing that John the Baptist had been beheaded, Jesus set out surreptitiously by boat for a secluded place. But the people heard of it, and they followed him on foot from their towns. When Jesus went ashore, he saw the crowd gathered there and he had compassion on them. And he healed their sick. Late in the afternoon, his disciples came to him and stated, "We are in a lonely place and it is now late. You should send these people away, so they can go to the villages and buy something for themselves to eat." But Jesus replied, "They do not need to go away, you give them something to eat." They answered, "We have nothing here but five loaves and two fishes." Jesus stated to them, "Bring them here to me." Then he made everyone sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fishes, raised his eyes to heaven, pronounced the blessing, broke the loaves and handed them to the disciples to distribute to the people. And they all ate, and everyone had enough; then the disciples gathered up the leftovers, filling twelve baskets. About five thousand men had eaten there besides women and children.

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 145) (Verses 8-9 and 15-18)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: The hand of the Lord feeds us; He answers all our needs.
Compassionate and gracious is the Lord, slow to anger and abounding in love. The Lord is good to everyone; his mercy embraces all creation.
All creatures look to you to be fed in due season; with open hand you satisfy the living according to their needs.
Righteous is the Lord in all his ways, his mercy shows in all his deeds. He is near those who call on him, who call trustfully upon his name.
Wow! I am back as the first comment. It has been so long ever since I have posted a comment on Sean's blog, and it is almost a new year of high school! Welcome to 10th grade! Subjects may become more difficult as you progress. Good luck and I wish you the best in high school!
ReplyDeleteWell, this is the final Sunday of Ordinary Time on July. It is close to the month of August, the season of going back to school. Welcome back, and good luck in 10th grade, Sean.
ReplyDeleteMessage to Sean: I wish you the best of luck in high school in Grade 10. I believe you have chosen your subjects well, ranging from Algebra and Trigonometry, Chemistry A, English 10, Geography, Spanish 4, Strings Simphonia, and Team Sports. Hope you do well on these subjects, and go for those straight A's!
ReplyDeleteI wish Sean the best of luck in high school in Grade 10. He will be discovering new topics and be challenged by new subjects. Wish him well, and always go for a consistent performance.
ReplyDeleteWishing Sean the best of luck on a new year of high school. He should be able to succeed at all costs, since he stated that he dreams to become a professor when he acquires his job. Increase your insights, Sean, and may the Lord bless you and lead you all the way!
ReplyDeleteWishing Sean the best of luck on a new year of high school. He should be able to cope with new challenges and manage to appear on top. May the Lord lead you to the most successful way of life.
ReplyDeleteHello and I am back to input comments on Sean's blog. I desire that Sean would do his best in 10th grade, and have fantastic results. His grades reflect that he is able to cope with new challenges and continue his perseverance within sophisticated subjects. Good luck to Sean in high school, and wish him the best.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Sean. I hear that your YouTube channel is populated by more than 600 viewers. Is this true?
ReplyDeleteYes, Ufretin. This is true. Apparently, the battle arena video with Pasadena and N-Gin has 115 views and 111 views, respectively. Thosee videos are currently popular. In my channel I have a total of 12 videos, but in my list of videos, I have actually 14 videos. Two of the videos are private.
ReplyDeleteReally? What are those private videos?
ReplyDeleteOne of the private videos is me teaching Spanish about the Cláusula Temporal. Another of the private videos is me playing Sonic Heroes playing as Team Sonic in the first stage: Seaside Hill.
ReplyDeleteWow, still interested in the Sonic World. Sean must have became a Sonic fan now. Do you have any favorite characters?
ReplyDeleteNot yet. I am not yet a Sonic fan because because I have not gotten to know all of the characters, but only the major appearing characters.
ReplyDeleteSean, how is SonicSong182 doing in her projects?
ReplyDeleteShe is apparently busy working on multiple projects at the moment; she has not completed one of those projects yet, but with sufficient patience, when she does post the completed video, I will therefore notify you that it is ready for viewing. She apologizes for the lack of videos, and she declared that she will probably complete it by this week, or the next week, or the next consecutive week where I return to school on August 11. Please give her your patience, and then she will understand that her audience is awaiting for the next episode to come.
ReplyDeleteMan, I am just excited to see the next episode and more interesting videos from SonicSong182!
ReplyDeleteI completely concur with Bohb here. I just cannot wait for the next episode to come up.
ReplyDeleteWait. What projects is SS182 working on? It cannot be that long.
ReplyDeleteTo Fiur: Actually, it is long. SS182 Kn is working on three projects simultaneously. One of her projects are the "Ask the Sonic Heroes" episode 9 which will feature the next set of questions answered by Team Rose. The improvised interview will probably be 15 minutes long in duration. The other project is "Silver's Never-ending Story" which is a movie, so that is the reason why it is taking very long. The third project I believe is another Sonic Chefs episode, featuring more fantastic recipes that you can create for your whole family. These three projects are not done yet. Therefore, with sufficient patience, it will appear in the future, hopefully before I return to school on August 11.
ReplyDeleteOh... @___@ I guess we will have to wait then. Thanks for the info, Sean!
ReplyDeleteYes, no problem. ^___^
ReplyDeleteNice emoticon. ^___^
ReplyDeleteI learned it from SS182. ^___^
ReplyDeleteNice. Hey Sean, what are the readings for next week?
ReplyDeleteGreetings Theodorus.
ReplyDeleteThe First Reading is from the 1st book of Kings: chapter 19, verses 9 and 11-13.
The Second Reading is from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans: chapter 9, verses 1-5.
The Gospel is according to Matthew: chapter 14, verses 22-33.
I hope this helps!
Thanks! ^___^

ReplyDeletePrimera Lectura (Isaías 55: 1–3)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro del profeta Isaías.
A ver ustedes que andan con sed, ¡vengan a las aguas! No importa que estén sin plata, vengan; pidan trigo sin dinero, y coman, pidan vino y leche, sin pagar. ¿Para qué van a gastar en lo que no es pan y dar su salario por cosas que no alimentan? Si ustedes me hacen caso, comerán cosas ricas y su paladar se deleitará con comidas exquisitas. Atiéndanme y acérquense a mí, escúchenme y su alma vivirá. Voy a hacer con ustedes una alianza para siempre, para darles los bienes que tengo prometidos a David.
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 145) (Versículos 8–9 y 15–18)
La respuesta es: La mano de Dios nos alimenta; él satisface nuestras necesidades.
• El Señor es bondadoso y compasivo, lento para enojarse y de gran misericordia; el Señor es bueno con todos y tiene compasión de todas sus criaturas.
• Los ojos de todos esperan en ti, y tú les das la comida a su tiempo; abres tu mano y colmas de favores a todos los vivientes.
• El Señor es justo en todos sus caminos y bondadoso en todas sus acciones. El Señor está cerca de aquellos que lo invocan, de aquellos que lo invocan de verdad.
Segunda Lectura (Romanos 8: 35 y 37–39)
Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los romanos.
¿Quién podrá entonces separarnos del amor de Cristo? ¿Las tribulaciones, las angustias, la persecución, el hambre, la desnudez, los peligros, la espada? Pero en todo esto obtenemos una amplia victoria, gracias a aquel que nos amó. Porque tengo la certeza de que ni la muerte ni la vida, ni los ángeles ni los principados, ni lo presente ni lo futuro, ni los poderes espirituales, ni lo alto ni lo profundo, ni ninguna otra criatura podrá separarnos jamás del amor de Dios, manifestado en Cristo Jesús, nuestro Señor.
Evangelio (Mateo 14: 13–21)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según San Mateo.
Al enterarse de que Juan el bautista fue decapitado, Jesús se alejó en una barca a un lugar desierto para esta a solas. Apenas lo supo la gente, dejó las ciudades y lo siguió a pie. Al desembarcar Jesús y encontrarse con tan gran gentío, sintió compasión de ellos y sanó a sus enfermos. Cuando ya caía la tarde, sus discípulos se le acercaron, diciendo: “Estamos en un lugar despoblado y ya ha pasado la hora. Despide a esta gente para que se vayan a las aldeas y se compren algo de comer.” Pero Jesús les dijo: “No tienen por qué irse; denles ustedes de comer.” Ellos respondieron: “Aquí no tenemos más que cinco panes y dos pescados.” “Tráiganmelos aquí,” les dijo. Y mandó a la gente que se sentara en el pasto. Tomó los cinco panes y los dos pescados, levantó los ojos al cielo, pronunció la bendición, partió los panes y los entregó a los discípulos. Y los discípulos los daban a la gente. Todos comieron hasta saciarse y con los pedazos que sobraron se llenaron doce canastas. Los que comieron fueron unos cinco mil hombres, sin contar las mujeres y los niños.
Bacaan Pertama (Yesaya 55: 1–3)
ReplyDeletePembacaan dari kitab dari nabi Yesaya.
Ayo, hai semua orang yang haus, marilah dan minumlah air, dan hai orang yang tidak mempunyai uang, marilah! Terimalah gandum tanpa uang pembeli dan makanlah, juga anggur dan susu tanpa bayaran! Mengapakah kamu belanjakan uang untuk sesuatu yang bukan roti, dan upah jerih payahmu untuk sesuatu yang tidak mengenyangkan? Dengarkanlah Aku maka kamu akan memakan yang baik dan kamu akan menikmati sajian yang paling lezat. Sendengkanlah telingamu dan datanglah kepada-Ku; dengarkanlah, maka kamu akan hidup! Aku hendak mengikat perjanjian abadi dengan kamu, menurut kasih setia yang teguh yang Kujanjikan kepada Daud.
Mazmur (Mazmur 145) (Ayat 8–9 dan 15–18)
Tanggapan adalah: Tangan Tuhan memberi kita makanan; Dia memenuhi kebutuhan kita.
— TUHAN itu pengasih dan penyayang, panjang sabar dan besar kasih setia-Nya. TUHAN itu baik kepada semua orang, dan penuh rahmat terhadap segala yang dijadikan-Nya.
— Mata sekalian orang menantikan Engkau, dan Engkaupun memberi mereka makanan pada waktunya; Engkau yang membuka tangan-Mu dan yang berkenan mengenyangkan segala yang hidup.
— TUHAN itu adil dalam segala jalan-Nya dan penuh kasih setia dalam segala perbuatan-Nya. TUHAN dekat pada setiap orang yang berseru kepada-Nya, pada setiap orang yang berseru kepada-Nya dalam kesetiaan.
Bacaan Kedua (Roma 8: 35 dan 37–39)
Pembacaan dari surat Paulus kepada jemaat di Roma.
Siapakah yang akan memisahkan kita dari kasih Kristus? Penindasan atau kesesakan atau penganiayaan, atau kelaparan atau ketelanjangan, atau bahaya, atau pedang? Tetapi dalam semuanya itu kita lebih dari pada orang-orang yang menang, oleh Dia yang telah mengasihi kita. Sebab aku yakin, bahwa baik maut, maupun hidup, baik malaikat-malaikat, maupun pemerintah-pemerintah, baik yang ada sekarang, maupun yang akan datang, atau kuasa-kuasa, baik yang di atas, maupun yang di bawah, ataupun sesuatu makhluk lain, tidak akan dapat memisahkan kita dari kasih Allah, yang ada dalam Kristus Yesus, Tuhan kita.
Bacaan Injil (Matius 14: 13–21)
DeletePembacaan dari Injil kudus menurut Santo Matius.
Setelah Yesus mendengar berita yang kepala Yohanes sudah memenggal, menyingkirlah Ia dari situ, dan hendak mengasingkan diri dengan perahu ke tempat yang sunyi. Tetapi orang banyak mendengarnya dan mengikuti Dia dengan mengambil jalan darat dari kota-kota mereka. Ketika Yesus mendarat, Ia melihat orang banyak yang besar jumlahnya, maka tergeraklah hati-Nya oleh belas kasihan kepada mereka dan Ia menyembuhkan mereka yang sakit. Menjelang malam, murid-murid-Nya datang kepada-Nya dan berkata: "Tempat ini sunyi dan hari sudah mulai malam. Suruhlah orang banyak itu pergi supaya mereka dapat membeli makanan di desa-desa." Tetapi Yesus berkata kepada mereka: "Tidak perlu mereka pergi, kamu harus memberi mereka makan." Jawab mereka: "Yang ada pada kami di sini hanya lima roti dan dua ikan." Yesus berkata: "Bawalah ke mari kepada-Ku." Lalu disuruh-Nya orang banyak itu duduk di rumput. Dan setelah diambil-Nya lima roti dan dua ikan itu, Yesus menengadah ke langit dan mengucap berkat, lalu memecah-mecahkan roti itu dan memberikannya kepada murid-murid-Nya, lalu murid-murid-Nya membagi-bagikannya kepada orang banyak. Dan mereka semuanya makan sampai kenyang. Kemudian orang mengumpulkan potongan-potongan roti yang sisa, dua belas bakul penuh. Yang ikut makan kira-kira lima ribu laki-laki, tidak termasuk perempuan dan anak-anak.
