First Reading (Daniel 12: 1-3)
A reading from the book of the prophet Daniel.
At that time, Michael will rise, the Great Commander who defends your people. It shall be a time of anguish as never before since the nations first existed until this very day. Then all those whose names are written in the Book will be saved. Many of those who sleep in the Region of the Dust will awake, some to everlasting life but others to eternal horror and shame. Those who acquired knowledge will shine like the brilliance of the firmament; those who taught people to be just will shine like the stars for all eternity.
Second Reading (Hebrews 10: 11-14 and 18)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Hebrews.
Brothers and sisters: So, whereas every priest stands daily by the altar offering repeatedly the same sacrifices that can never take away sins, Christ has offered for all times a single sacrifice for sins and has taken his seat at the right hand of God, waiting until God puts his enemies as a footstool under his feet. By a single sacrifice he has brought those who are sanctified to what is perfect forever. So, if sins are forgiven, there is no longer need of any sacrifice for sin.
Gospel (Mark 13: 24-32)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark.
Jesus stated this to his disciples: "Later on, in those days after that disastrous time, the sun will grow dark, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall out of the sky and the whole universe will be shaken. Then people will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And he will send the angels to gather his chosen people from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky. Learn a lesson from the fig tree. As soon as its branches become tender and it begins to sprout leaves, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see these things happening, know that the time is near, even at the door. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all this has happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But, regarding that Day and that Hour, no one knows when it will come, not even the angels, not even the Son, but only the Father."
Primera Lectura (Daniel 12: 1-3)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro del profeta Daniel.
En aquel tiempo, se alzará Miguel, el gran Príncipe, que está de pie junto a los hijos de tu pueblo. Será un tiempo de tribulación, como no lo hubo jamás, desde que existe una nación hasta el tiempo presente. En aquel tiempo, será liberado tu pueblo: todo el que se encuentre inscrito en el Libro. Y muchos de los que duermen en el suelo polvoriento se despertarán, unos para la vida eterna, y otros para la ignominia, para el horror eterno. Los hombres prudentes resplandecerán como el resplandor del firmamento, y los que hayan enseñado a muchos la justicia brillarán como las estrellas, por los siglos de los siglos.
Segunda Lectura (Hebreos 10: 11-14 y 18)
Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los Hebreos.
Los sacerdotes están de servicio diariamente para cumplir su oficio, ofreciendo repetidas veces los mismos sacrificios, que nunca tienen el poder de quitar los pecados. Cristo, por el contrario, ofreció por los pecados un único y definitivo sacrificio y se sentó a la derecha de Dios, esperando solamente que Dios ponga a sus enemigos debajo de sus pies. Su única ofrenda lleva a la perfección definitiva a los que santifica. Pues bien, si los pecados han sido perdonados, ya no hay sacrificios por el pecado.
Evangelio (Mateo 13: 24-32)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según San Marcos.
Jesús les dijo a sus discípulos: “Después de esa angustia llegarán otros días; entonces el sol dejará de alumbrar, la luna perderá su brillo, las estrellas caerán del cielo y el universo entero se conmoverá. Verán venir al Hijo del Hombre en medio de las nubes con gran poder y gloria. Enviará a los ángeles para reunir a sus elegidos de los cuatro puntos cardinales, desde el extremo de la tierra hasta el extremo del cielo. Aprendan de este ejemplo de la higuera: cuando las ramas están tiernas y brotan las hojas, saben que el verano está cerca. Así también ustedes, cuando vean que suceden estas cosas, sepan que todo se acerca, que ya está a las puertas. En verdad les digo que no pasará esta generación sin que ocurra todo eso. El cielo y la tierra pasarán, pero mis palabras no pasarán. Por lo que se refiere a ese Día y cuándo vendrá, no lo sabe nadie, ni los ángeles en el Cielo, ni el Hijo, sino solamente el Padre.”
Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 16) (Verses 5, 8-11)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: You are my inheritance, O Lord!
O Lord, my inheritance and my cup, my chosen portion - hold secure my lot. I keep the Lord always before me; for with him at my right hand, I will never be shaken.
My heart, therefore, exults, my soul rejoices, my body too will rest assured. For you will not abandon my soul to the grave, nor will you suffer your holy one to see decay in the land of the dead.
You will show me the path to life, in your presence the fullness of joy, at your right hand happiness forever.

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 through Jesus Christ our Lord. For by his birth he brought renewal to humanity's fallen state, and by his suffering, canceled out our sins. By his rising from the dead he has opened the way to eternal life, and by ascending to you, O Father, he has unlocked the gates of heaven. And so, with the company of angels and the saints, we sing the hymn of your praise, as without end we acclaim...

ReplyDeleteBow your heads and pray for God's blessing. People of God, we should not wait for the full coming of Christ in fear and trembling but in hope. God is not out to catch us in a weak moment for he is a saving and loving God. Neither should we expect him passively, for he has given us a new world to build, to bring it his justice, brotherhood, and peace. It is a task that is above our forces, but which we can carry out if we try to live the gospel together with the blessing of almighty God, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Mass has ended, and you are sent. Therefore, let us go as people of hope who trust in the Lord. Thanks be to God.
