First Reading (Exodus 20: 1–17)
A reading from the book of Exodus.
God spoke all these words. He stated, "I am Yahweh your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. Do not have other gods before me. Do not make yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything in heaven, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, for the sin of the fathers, when they rebel against me, I punish the sons, the grandsons and the great-grandsons; but I show steadfast love until the thousandth generation for those who love me and keep my commandments. Do not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain for Yahweh will not leave unpunished anyone who takes his name in vain. Remember the sabbath day and keep it holy. For six days you will labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath for Yahweh your God. Do not work on that day, neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter nor your servants, men or women, nor your animals, nor the stranger who is staying with you. For in six days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the seventh day he rested; that is why Yahweh has blessed the sabbath day and made it holy. Honor your father and your mother that you may have a long life in the land that Yahweh has given you. Do not kill. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not give false witness against your neighbor. Do not covet your neighbor's house. Do not covet your neighbor's wife, or his servant, man or woman, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is his."
Second Reading (1 Corinthians 1: 22–25)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
Brothers and sisters: The Jews ask for miracles and the Greeks for a higher knowledge, while we proclaim a crucified Messiah. For the Jews, what a great scandal! And for the Greeks, what nonsense! But he is Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God for those called by God among both Jews and Greeks. In reality, the "foolishness" of God is wiser than humans, and the "weakness" of God is stronger than humans.
Gospel (John 2: 13–25)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
As the Passover of the Jews was at hand, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the Temple court he found merchants selling oxen, sheep and doves, and money-changers seated at their tables. Making a whip of cords, Jesus drove them all out of the Temple court, together with the oxen and sheep. He knocked over the tables of the money-changers, scattering the coins, and ordered the people selling doves, "Take all this away and stop turning my Father's house into a marketplace!" Jesus' disciples recalled the words of Scripture: Zeal for your House devours me as a fire. The Jews then questioned Jesus, "Where are the miraculous signs which give you the right to do this?" And Jesus stated, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up." The Jews then replied, "The building of this temple has already taken forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?" Actually, Jesus was referring to the temple of his body. Only when he had risen from the dead did his disciples remember these words; then they believed both the Scripture and the words Jesus had spoken. Jesus stayed in Jerusalem during the Passover Festival and many believed in his Name when they saw the miraculous signs he performed. But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all of them. He had no need of evidence about anyone for he himself knew what there was in each one.

DeletePrimera Lectura (Éxodo 20: 1-7)
Una lectura del libro de Éxodo.
Dios ha hablado todas estas palabras. Él dice, “Soy el Señor su Dios quien les sacó afuera de la región de Egipto, afuera de la casa de esclavitud. No tenga otros Dios antes mí. No haga para sí mismo una imagen esculpida o cualquier semejanza de cualquiera en cielo, o en la tierra abajo, o en las aguas debajo de la tierra; no lo debe hacer una reverencia o servirlo. Porque yo, el Señor, su Dios, soy un Dios celoso, para los pecados de los padres, cuando me rebelan, yo peno a los hijos, los nietos, y los bisnietos; pero muestro el firme amor hasta la milésima generación para ellos quien me aman y guardan mis mandamientos. No tome el nombre del Señor su Dios en vano porque el Señor no deja cualquier persona sin pena quien toma su nombre en vano. Acuérdense el día domingo y lo mantenga santo. Para seis días, trabajará y hacer todas sus tareas, pero el séptimo día es el domingo para el Señor su Dios. No trabaje en ése día. Ninguno usted, ni tu hijo, ni tu hija ni tus sirvientes, hombres o mujeres, ni tus animales, ni el extranjero quien se queda contigo. En seis días, el Señor creó los cielos y la tierra y el mar y todos que están en los, pero en el séptimo día, él descansó. Eso es porque el Señor ha bendecido el día domingo y lo hizo santo. Honra tu padre y tu madre así que puede tener una vida larga en la tierra que el Señor le ha dado. No mata. No cometa adulterio. No roba. No le da un testimonio falso en contra de tu vecino. No desea la casa de tu vecino. No desea la esposa de tu vecino, o sus sirvientes, hombre o mujer, o su buey, o su burro, o cualquiera en su posesión.
Segunda Lectura (1 Corintio 1: 22-25)
Una lectura de la primera carta de San Pablo a los Corintios.
Hermanos y hermanas: Los judíos piden para milagros y los griegos piden para el gran conocimiento, mientras proclamamos un Mesías crucificado. Para los judíos, ¡qué vergüenza! Además para los griegos, ¡qué tonterías! Pero él es Cristo, el poder de Dios y la sabiduría de Dios para personas llamado por Dios entre ambos judíos y griegos. En realidad, la “tontería” de Dios es más sabio que humanos, y la “debilidad” de Dios es más fuerte que humanos.
Evangelio (Juan 2: 13-25)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según San Juan.
Cuando la Pascua de los judíos está cerca, Jesús fue a Jerusalén. En el patio del Templo, él encontró comerciantes vendiendo bueyes, ovejas, y palomas. Los cambistas de dinero están sentados a sus mesas. Creando un azote de cuerdas, Jesús expulsa todos comerciantes del patio de Templo, también los bueyes y ovejas. Él derriba las mesas de los cambistas, esparciendo las monedas, y manda las personas vendiendo las palomas, “¡Quite éste fuera el Templo y detenga transformar la casa de mi Padre a un mercado!” Los discípulos se acuerdan las palabras de las Escrituras: Celo para su Casa me devora como un fuego. Los judíos preguntan a Jesús, “¿Dónde están las señas que darte el derecho para hacer éste?” Jesús dice, “Destruye este Templo, y en tres días, lo levantaré.” Los judíos responden, “La construcción de este Templo requiere cuarenta y seis años, y ¿puedes construirlo en tres días?” Actualmente, Jesús refiere al templo de su cuerpo. Solo cuando se levantó de la muerte, sus discípulos se acuerdan estas palabras; entonces ellos creen ambas las Escrituras y las palabras Jesús ha hablado. Jesús se queda en Jerusalén durante el festival de Pascua y muchas personas creen en su Nombre cuando ellos vieron las señas milagrosas les presentó. Pero Jesús no se confía a ellos, porque él conoce todos de ustedes. No necesita la evidencia sobre cualquiera porque conoce qué lo está en cada uno.
Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 19) (Verses 8-11)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: Lord, you have the words of everlasting life.
The law of the Lord is perfect: it gives life to the soul. The word of the Lord is trustworthy: it gives wisdom to the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right: they give joy to the heart. The commandments of the Lord are clear: they enlighten the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is pure, it endures forever; the judgments of the Lord are true, all of them just and right.
They are more precious than gold — pure gold of a jeweller; they are much sweeter than honey, which drops from the honeycomb.
El coro falla para cantar el salmo.
DeleteWow. Epic fail for the choir. They really should confirm what the response is in the responsorial Psalm before the Mass begins. Otherwise, that would be really embarrassing.
DeleteAll right, who thought that the response was "If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts."?

ReplyDeleteI ordered Phở Gà for my best food.
ReplyDeleteEh? What is Phở Gà?
DeletePhở Gà is a Vietnamese food with noodles, vegetables and chicken.
DeleteWow. I am sure that it tastes so good, that it is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
DeleteSpeaking of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, the composer of that song has passed away. Sad, is it not? A Mary Poppins music.
DeleteVerdad. Triste.

ReplyDeleteLet us pray. O God, author of every mercy and of all goodness, who in fasting, prayer, and almsgiving have shown us a remedy for sin, look graciously on this confession of our lowliness, that we, who are bowed down by our conscience, may always be lifted up by your mercy. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Be pleased, O Lord, with these sacrificial offerings, and grant that we who beseech pardon for our own sins, may take care to forgive our neighbor. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
ReplyDeleteIt is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God. For you have given your children a sacred time for the renewing and purifying of their hearts, that freed from disordered affections, they may so deal with the things of this passing world as to hold rather to the things that eternally endure. And so, with all the Angels and Saints, we praise you, as without end, we acclaim...
ReplyDeleteEucharistic Prayer no. 2 is used for this Mass.
ReplyDeleteAs we receive the pledge of things yet hidden in heaven and are nourished while still on earth with the Bread that comes from on high, we humbly entreat you, O Lord, that what is being brought about in us in mystery may come to true completion. Through Christ our Lord.
ReplyDeleteDirect, O Lord, we pray, the hearts of your faithful, and in your kindness grant your servants this gace: that abiding in the love of you and their neighbor, they may fulfill the whole of your commands. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
ReplyDeleteAnd may the blessing of almighty God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, come down on you and remain with you forever. Amen.
The Mass has ended, and you are sent. Therefore, go in the peace of Christ and let him be your companion in life. Thanks be to God.
