First Reading (Jeremiah 31: 31–34)
A reading from the book of the prophet Jeremiah.
The time is coming — it is the Lord who speaks — when I will forge a new covenant with the people of Israel and the people of Judah. It will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt. For they broke my covenant although I was their Lord. This is the covenant I shall make with Israel after that time: I will put may Law within them and write it on their hearts; I will be their God and they will be my people. And they will not have to teach each other, neighbor or brother, stating: 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the greatest to the lowliest, for I will forgive their wrongdoing and no longer remember their sin.
Second Reading (Hebrews 5: 7–9)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Hebrews.
Brothers and sisters: Christ, in the days of his mortal life, offered his sacrifice with tears and cries. He prayed to him who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his humble submission. Although he was Son, he learned through suffering what obedience was, and once made perfect, he become the source of eternal salvation for those who obey him.
Gospel (John 12: 20–33)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
There were some Greeks who had come up to Jerusalem to worship during the feast. They approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus." Philip went to Andrew and the two of them told Jesus. Then Jesus stated, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Truly, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Those who love their life destroy it, and those who despise their life in this world keep it for everlasting life. Whoever wants to serve me, let him follow me and wherever I am, there shall my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him. Now my soul is in distress. Shall I say: 'Father, save me from this hour'? But, I have come to this hour to face all this. Father, glorify your Name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it and I will glorify it again." People standing there heard something and stated it was thunder; but others stated, "An angel was speaking to him." Then Jesus declared, "This voice did not come for my sake but for yours; now sentence is being passed on this world; now the ruler of this world is to be cast down. And when I am lifted up from the earth, I shall draw all to myself." With these words, Jesus referred to the kind of death he was to die.

ReplyDeleteEvangelio (Juan 12: 20-33)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según Juan.
Hay algunos griegos que vinieron a Jerusalén para adorar durante la fiesta. Ellos se dirigieron a Felipe, quien fue desde Betsaida en Galilea, y preguntado a él, “Señor, deseamos para ver a Jesús.” Felipe fue a Andrés y ambos de ellos contaron a Jesús. Entonces, Jesús dice, “La hora ha venido para el Hijo del Hombre a ser glorificado. Verdaderamente, yo digo a ti, a menos del grano de trigo se cae a la tierra y muere, se queda solo. Pero si lo muere, se produce mucha fruta. Esos quien ama su vida la destruirá, y esos quien odia su vida en este mundo la guardará por vida eterna. Quienquiera quiere servirme, permítele a seguirme y dondequiera estoy, mi sirviente debería estar allí también. Si cualquiera sírveme, el Padre le honrará. Ahora, mi alma está en dolor. Debería decir, ¿“Papá, sálvame de esta hora.”? Pero, he venir a esta hora para encarar todos de éste. Papá, ¡glorifica su Nombre!” Entonces, una voz viene del cielo, “He lo glorificado y lo glorificará otra vez.” La gente estando allí escuchó algo y pensó que lo era los truenos; pero otras personas dijeron, “Un ángel estaba hablándole.” Entonces, Jesús declarado, “Esta voz no viene para mi bien pero para suyos, ahora, esta oración estando pasado en este mundo. Ahora, el gobernante de este mundo debería tirarse abajo. Cuando estoy me levantado de la tierra, atraeré todo a mí mismo.” Con estas palabras, Jesús referido al tipo de la muerte él va a morir.

ReplyDeleteThis is the Kyrie for the 5th Sunday of Lent.

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 affection, they may so deal with 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...

Go in the peace of Christ and let us proclaim the Gift of his Mercy. Thanks be to God.
English: Heya, guys! One of my teammates convinced me to get a Tumblr account, so ah... I have one now. xD I don't really know what to do with it, so I just uploaded some neat "Ask the Sonic Heroes" artwork and an audio blooper reel from when I voiced Tails in BalenaProductions' "Sonic in Jaws" video. If you want to check it out, or if you have a Tumblr, come and visit me! :D
ReplyDeleteEspañol: ¡Hola, gentes! Uno de mis compañeros me ha convencido a crear una cuenta de Tumblr, así, tengo una cuenta ahora.

Primera Lectura (Jeremías 31: 31–34)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro del profeta Jeremías.
El Señor afirma: “Vendrá un día en que haré un nuevo pacto con Israel y con Judá. Este pacto no será como el que hice con sus antepasados, cuando los tomé de la mano para sacarlos de Egipto; porque ellos quebrantaron mi pacto, a pesar de que yo era su dueño. Yo, el Señor, lo afirmo. Este será el pacto que haré con Israel en aquel tiempo: Pondré mi ley en su corazón y la escribiré en su mente. Yo seré su Dios y ellos serán mi pueblo. Yo, el Señor, lo afirmo. Ya no será necesario que unos a otros, amigos y parientes, tengan que instruirse para que me conozcan, porque todos me conocerán, desde el más grande hasta el más pequeño. Yo les perdonaré su maldad y no me acordaré más de sus pecados. Yo, el Señor, lo afirmo.”
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 51) (Versículos 1–2 y 10–13)
La respuesta es: Crea un corazón limpio en mí, oh Dios.
• Por tu amor, oh Dios, ten compasión de mí; por tu gran ternura, borra mis culpas. ¡Lávame de mi maldad! ¡Límpiame de mi pecado!
• Oh Dios, ¡pon en mí un corazón limpio y dame un espíritu nuevo y fiel! No me apartes de tu presencia ni me quites tu santo espíritu.
• Hazme sentir de nuevo el gozo de tu salvación; sostenme con tu espíritu generoso, para que yo enseñe a los rebeldes tus caminos y los pecadores se vuelvan a ti.
Segunda Lectura (Hebreos 5: 7–9)
Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los hebreos.
Cristo, mientras vivía en este mundo, con voz fuerte y muchas lágrimas, oró y suplicó a Dios, que tenía poder para librarle de la muerte; y por su obediencia, Dios le escuchó. Así que Cristo, a pesar de ser Hijo, por lo que sufrió aprendió a obedecer; y al perfeccionarse de esa manera, llegó a ser fuente de salvación eterna para todos los que le obedecen.
Evangelio (Juan 12: 20–33)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Juan.
Entre la gente que había ido a Jerusalén a adorar a Dios en la fiesta, había algunos griegos. Estos se acercaron a Felipe, que era de Betsaida, un pueblo de Galilea, y le rogaron: “Señor, queremos ver a Jesús.” Felipe fue y se lo dijo a Andrés, y los dos fueron a contárselo a Jesús. Jesús les dijo: “Ha llegado la hora en que el Hijo del hombre va a ser glorificado. Les aseguro que si un grano de trigo no cae en la tierra y muere, seguirá siendo un solo grano; pero si muere, dará fruto abundante. El que ama su vida, la perderá; pero el que desprecia su vida en este mundo, la conservará para la vida eterna. Si alguno quiere servirme, que me siga; y donde yo esté, allí estará también mi servidor. Si alguno me sirve, mi Padre le honrará. “Siento en este momento una angustia terrible, pero ¿qué voy a decir? ¿Diré: ‘Padre, líbrame de esta angustia’? ¡Pero si precisamente para esto he venido! ¡Padre, glorifica tu nombre!” Entonces vino una voz del cielo, que decía: “¡Ya lo he glorificado, y lo glorificaré otra vez!” Al oír esto, la gente que estaba allí decía que había sido un trueno, aunque algunos afirmaban: “Un ángel le ha hablado.” Jesús les dijo: “No ha sido por mí por quien se ha oído esta voz, sino por ustedes. Ahora va a ser juzgado el mundo. ¡Ahora va a ser expulsado el que manda en este mundo! Pero cuando yo sea levantado de la tierra, atraeré a todos a mí.” Con esto daba a entender de qué forma había de morir.
