First Reading (Wisdom 6: 12-16)
A reading from the book of Wisdom.
Wisdom is luminous and never tarnished; she willingly lets herself be seen by those who love her, and known by those who look for her. She hastens to meet those who long for her. Seek her in the morning and you will not be disappointed; you will find her sitting at your door. To meditate on Wisdom is understanding fully grown; whoever is on the watch for her will be free of anxiety. She goes in search of those who are worthy of her, graciously meets them on the way and is present in their every thought.
Second Reading (1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians.
Brothers and sisters, we want you not to be mistaken about those who are already asleep, lest you grieve as do those who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose; it will be the same for those who have died in Jesus. God will bring them together with Jesus and for his sake. By the same word of the Lord we assert this: those of us who are to be alive at the Lord's coming will not go ahead of those who are already asleep. When the command by the archangel's voice is given, the Lord himself will come down from heaven, while the divine trumpet call is sounding. Then those who have died in the Lord will rise first; as for us who are still alive, we will be brought along with them in the clouds to meet the Lord is the celestial world. And we will be with the Lord forever. So, then comfort one another with these words.
Gospel (Matthew 25: 1-13)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Jesus stated this to his disciples: "This story throws light on what will happen in the kingdom of heaven. Ten bridesmaids went out with their lamps to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were careless while the others were sensible. The careless bridesmaids took their lamps as they were and did not bring extra oil. But those who were sensible, brought with their lamps flasks of oil. As the bridegroom delayed, they all grew drowsy and fell asleep. But at midnight, a cry rang out: 'The bridegroom is here, come out and meet him!' All the maidens woke up at once and trimmed their lamps. Then the careless ones stated to the sensible ones: 'Give us some oil, for our lamps are going out.' The sensible ones answered: 'There may not be enough for both you and us. You had better go to those who sell and buy for yourselves.' They were out buying oil when the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went with him to the wedding feast, and the doors were shut. Later the rest of the bridesmaids arrived and called out: 'Lord, Lord, open to us.' But he answered: 'Truly, I do not know you.' So, stay awake, for you do not know the day nor the hour."

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 63) (Verses 2-8)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
O God, you are my God, it is you I seek; for you my body longs and my soul thirsts, as a dry and weary land without water.
Thus I have gazed upon you in the sanctuary, to see your power and your glory. Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
I will bless you as long as I live, lift up my hands and call on your name. As with the richest food my soul will feast; my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.
When I remember you on my bed I think of you all through the night, for you have been my help; I sing in the shadow of your wings.

ReplyDeleteThis is the Kyrie for the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time.
ReplyDeletePriest: Lord Jesus, you come to meet us in the life of every day. Lord, have mercy.
Congregation: Lord, have mercy.
Priest: Jesus Christ, you invite us to die in sin and to rise with you to life. Christ, have mercy.
Congregation: Christ, have mercy.
Priest: Lord Jesus, you are the bridegroom; you expect us as guests at your feast meal. Lord, have mercy.
Congregation: Lord, have mercy.
Have mercy on us, Lord. Have patience when we doze off. Forgive us all our sins and wake us up to follow you. Lead us to everlasting life. Amen.
This is the Opening Prayer for the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time.
ReplyDeleteLet us pray. Almighty Father, strong is your justice and great is your mercy. Protect us in the burdens and challenges of life. Shield our minds from the distortion of pride and enfold our desire with the beauty of truth. Help us to become more aware of your loving design so that we may more willingly give our lives in service to all. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
God of mercy, in this eucharist we proclaim the death of the Lord. Accept the gifts we present and help us to follow him with love, for he is Lord forever and ever. Amen.
ReplyDeleteFather, all-powerful and ever-living God, we do well always and everywhere to give you thanks. In you we live, move, and have your being. Each day you show us a Father's love; your Holy Spirit, dwelling within us, gives us on earth the hope of unending joy. Your gift of the Spirit, who raised Jesus from the dead, is the foretaste and promise of the paschal feast of heaven. With thankful praise, in company with the angels, we glorify the wonders of your power. (After this, you sing the Sanctus.)
ReplyDeleteLord, we thank you for the nourishment you give us through your holy gift. Pour out your Spirit upon us and in the strength of this food from heaven, keep us single-minded in your service. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
ReplyDeleteIn the presence of the lord we have reflected on his words about the wisdom of awareness. What are we? Are we careless and foolish, or are we sensible and wise? Probably a combination of the two. We are foolish and careless when we sin. We are sensible and wise when we are aware and attempt to live a bit like Jesus and to put his words into practice. Therefore, may Almighty God keep you vigilant, sensible, and wise, blessing you: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. The mass has ended, you are sent. So let us go in peace, of the Lord, and may he keep you always faithful, sensible, and aware. Thanks be to God.

ReplyDeletePrimera lectura (Sabiduría 6: 12–16)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro de Sabiduría.
La Sabiduría es luminosa y nunca pierde su brillo: se deja contemplar fácilmente por los que la aman y encontrar por los que la buscan. Ella se anticipa a darse a conocer a los que la desean. El que madruga para buscarla no se fatigará, porque la encontrará sentada a su puerta. Meditar en ella es la perfección de la prudencia, y el que se desvela por su causa pronto quedará libre de inquietudes. La Sabiduría busca por todas partes a los que son dignos de ella, se les aparece con benevolencia en los caminos y les sale al encuentro en todos sus pensamientos.
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 63) (Versículos 2–8)
La respuesta es: Mi alma tiene sed de ti, oh Señor, Dios mío.
• Oh Dios, tú eres mi Dios, yo te busco ardientemente; mi alma tiene sed de ti, por ti suspira mi carne como tierra sedienta, reseca y sin agua.
• Sí, yo te contemplé en el Santuario para ver tu poder y tu gloria. Porque tu amor vale más que la vida, mis labios te alabarán.
• Así te bendeciré mientras viva y alzaré mis manos en tu Nombre. Mi alma quedará saciada como con un manjar delicioso, y mi boca te alabará con júbilo en los labios.
• Mientras me acuerdo de ti en mi lecho y en las horas de la noche medito en ti, veo que has sido mi ayuda y soy feliz a la sombra de tus alas.
Segunda lectura (1 Tesalonicenses 4: 13–18)
Una lectura de la primera carta de san Pablo a los tesalonicenses.
No queremos, hermanos, que vivan en la ignorancia acerca de los que ya han muerto, para que no estén tristes como los otros, que no tienen esperanza. Porque nosotros creemos que Jesús murió y resucitó: de la misma manera, Dios llevará con Jesús a los que murieron con él. Queremos decirles algo, fundados en la Palabra del Señor: los que vivamos, los que quedemos cuando venga el Señor, no precederemos a los que hayan muerto. Porque a la señal dada por la voz del Arcángel y al toque de la trompeta de Dios, el mismo Señor descenderá del cielo. Entonces, primero resucitarán los que murieron en Cristo. Después nosotros, los que aún vivamos, los que quedemos, serenos llevados con ellos al cielo, sobre las nubes, al encuentro de Cristo, y así permaneceremos con el Señor para siempre. Consuélense mutuamente con estos pensamientos.
Evangelio (Mateo 25: 1–13)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el san Mateo.
Escuchen, pues, lo que pasará entonces en el Reino de los Cielos. Diez jóvenes salieron con sus lámparas para salir al encuentro del novio. Cinco de ellas eran descuidadas y las otras cinco precavidas. Las descuidadas tomaron sus lámparas como estaban, sin llevar más aceite consigo. Las precavidas, en cambio, junto con las lámparas, llevaron sus botellas de aceite. Como el novio se demoraba en llegar, se adormecieron todas y al fin se quedaron dormidas. A medianoche se oyó un grito: “¡Viene el novio, salgan a su encuentro!” Todas las jóvenes se despertaron y prepararon sus lámparas. Entonces las descuidadas dijeron a las precavidas: “Dennos un poco de su aceite, porque nuestras lámparas se están apagando.” Las precavidas dijeron: “No habría bastante para ustedes y para nosotras; vayan mejor a donde lo venden, y compren para ustedes.” Mientras fueron a comprar el aceite llegó el novio; las que estaban listas entraron con él a la fiesta de las bodas, y se cerró la puerta. Más tarde llegaron las otras jóvenes y llamaron: “Señor, Señor, ábrenos.” Pero él respondió: “En verdad se lo digo: no las conozco.” Por tanto, estén despiertos, porque no saben el día ni la hora.
This is the Gospel Acclamation for the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time.
