First Reading (Jeremiah 1: 4–5 and 17–19)
A reading from the book of the Prophet Jeremiah.
The word of the Lord came to me, "Even before I formed you in the womb I have known you; even before you were born I had set you apart, and appointed you a prophet to the nations! But you, get ready for action; stand up and say to them all that I command you. Be not scared of them or I will scare you in their presence! See, I will make you a fortified city, a pillar of iron with walls of bronze, against all the nations, against the kings and princes of Judah, against the priests and the people of the land. They will fight against you but shall not over come you, for I am with you to rescue you — it is the Lord who speaks."
Second Reading (1 Corinthians 12:31 – 13:13)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
Brothers and sisters: Be that as it may, set your hearts on the most precious gifts, and I will show you a much better way. If I could speak all the human and angelic tongues, but had no love, I would only be sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. If I had prophecy, knowing secret things with all kinds of knowledge, and had faith great enough to remove mountains, but had no love, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I had to the poor, and even gave up my own body, but only to receive praise and not through love, it would be of no value to me; I acquire nothing. Love is patient, kind, without envy. It is not boastful or arrogant. It is not ill-mannered nor does it seek its own interest. Love overcomes anger and forgets offenses. It does not take delight in wrong, but rejoices in truth. Love excuses everything, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love will never end. Prophecies may cease, tongues be silent and knowledge disappear. For knowledge grasps something of the truth and prophecy as well. And when what is perfect comes, everything imperfect will pass away. When I was a child, I thought and reasoned like a child, but when I grew up, I gave up childish ways. Likewise, at present we see dimly as in a faulty mirror, but then it shall be face to face. Now we know in part, but then I will know as I am known. Now we have faith, hope, and love, these three, but the greatest of these is love.
Gospel (Luke: 4: 21–30)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
Jesus stated to the people in the synagogue, "Today, these prophetic words come true even as you listen." All agreed with him and were lost in wonder, while he kept on speak of the grace of God. Nevertheless they asked, "Who is this but Joseph's son?" So, Jesus stated, "Doubtless you will quote me the saying: 'Doctor, heal yourself! Do here in your town what they say you did in Capernaum.'" Jesus added, "No prophet is honored in his own country. Truly, I say to you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens withheld rain for three years and six months and a great famine came over the whole land. Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow of Zarephath, in the country of Sidon. There were also many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha, the prophet, and no one was healed except Naaman, the Syrian." On hearing these words, the whole assembly became indignant. They rose up and brought him out of the town, to the edge of the hill on which Nazareth is built, intending to throw him down the cliff. However, Jesus passed through their midst and went his way.

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 71) (Verses 1-6, 8, and 17)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: I will sing of your salvation.
In you, O Lord, I seek refuge; let me not be disgraced. In your justice help me and deliver me, turn your ear to me, and save me!
Be my rock of refuge, a stronghold to give me safety, for you are my rock and my fortress. Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of cruel and violent people.
For you, O Lord, have been my hope, my trust, O God, from my youth. I have relied on you from birth: from my mother's womb you brought me forth. My praise is of you continually.
My mouth is filled with your praise, announcing your glory day by day. You have taught me from my youth and until now, I proclaim your marvels.
Primera Lectura (Jeremías 1: 4-5 y 17-19)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro del profeta Jeremías.
Me llegó una palabra de Yahvé: “Antes de formarte en el seno de tu madre, ya te conocía; antes de que tú nacieras, yo te consagré, y te destiné a ser profeta de las naciones. Tú, ahora, muévete y anda a decirles todo lo que yo te mande. No temas enfrentarlos, porque yo también podría asustarte delante de ellos. Este día hago de ti una fortaleza, un pilar de hierro y una muralla de bronce frente a la nación entera: frente a los reyes de Judá y a sus ministros, frente a los sacerdotes y a los propietarios. Ellos te declararán la guerra, pero no podrán vencerte, pues yo estoy contigo para ampararte, palabra de Yahvé.”
Segunda Lectura (1 Corintios 12:31 – 13:13)
Una lectura de la primera carta de San Pablo a los Corintios.
Ustedes, por su parte, aspiren a los dones más perfectos. Y ahora voy a mostrarles un camino más perfecto todavía. Aunque yo hablara todas las lenguas de los hombres y de los ángeles, si no tengo amor, soy como una campana que resuena o un platillo que retiñe. Aunque tuviera el don de la profecía y conociera todos los misterios y toda la ciencia, aunque tuviera toda la fe, una fe capaz de trasladar montañas, si no tengo amor, no soy nada. Aunque repartiera todos mis bienes para alimentar a los pobres y entregara mi cuerpo a las llamas, si no tengo amor, no me sirve para nada. El amor es paciente, es servicial; el amor no es envidioso, no hace alarde, no se envanece, no procede con bajeza, no busca su propio interés, no se irrita, no tienen en cuenta el mal recibido, no se alegra de la injusticia, sino que se regocija con la verdad. El amor todo lo disculpa, todo lo cree, todo lo espera, todo lo soporta. El amor no pasará jamás. Las profecías acabarán, el don de lenguas terminará, la ciencia desaparecerá; porque nuestra ciencia es imperfecta y nuestras profecías, limitadas. Cuando llegue lo que es perfecto, cesará lo que es imperfecto. Mientras yo era niño, hablaba como un niño, sentía como un niño, razonaba como un niño, pero cuando me hice hombre, dejé a un lado las cosas de niño. Ahora vemos como en un espejo, confusamente; después veremos cara a cara. Ahora conozco todo imperfectamente; después conoceré como Dios me conoce a mí. En una palabra, ahora existen tres cosas: la fe, la esperanza y el amor, pero la más grande todas es el amor.
Evangelio (Lucas 4: 21-30)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según San Lucas.
Entonces comenzó a decirles: “Hoy se ha cumplido este pasaje de la Escritura que acaban de oír”. Todos daban testimonio a favor de él y estaban llenos de admiración por las palabras de gracia que salían de su boca. Y decían: “¿No es este el hijo de José?”. Pero él les respondió: “Sin duda ustedes me citarán el refrán: "Médico, cúrate a ti mismo". Realiza también aquí, en tu patria, todo lo que hemos oído que sucedió en Cafarnaúm”. Después agregó: “Les aseguro que ningún profeta es bien recibido en su tierra. Yo les aseguro que había muchas viudas en Israel en el tiempo de Elías, cuando durante tres años y seis meses no hubo lluvia del cielo y el hambre azotó a todo el país. Sin embargo, a ninguna de ellas fue enviado Elías, sino a una viuda de Sarepta, en el país de Sidón. También había muchos leprosos en Israel, en el tiempo del profeta Eliseo, pero ninguno de ellos fue curado, sino Naamán, el sirio”. Al oír estas palabras, todos los que estaban en la sinagoga se enfurecieron y, levantándose, lo empujaron fuera de la ciudad, hasta un lugar escarpado de la colina sobre la que se levantaba la ciudad, con intención de despeñarlo. Pero Jesús, pasando en medio de ellos, continuó su camino.
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 71) (Versículos 1–6, 8 y 17)
DeleteLa respuesta es: Cantaré de tu salvación.
• Yo me refugio en ti, Señor, ¡que nunca tenga que avergonzarme! Por tu justicia, líbrame y rescátame, inclina tu oído hacia mí, y sálvame.
• Sé para mí una roca protectora, tú que decidiste venir siempre en mi ayuda, porque tú eres mi Roca y mi fortaleza. ¡Líbrame, Dios mío, de las manos del impío, de las garras del malvado y del violento!
• Porque tú, Señor, eres mi esperanza y mi seguridad desde mi juventud. En ti me apoyé desde las entrañas de mi madre; desde el seno materno fuiste mi protector, y mi alabanza está siempre ante ti.
• Mi boca proclama tu alabanza y anuncia tu gloria todo el día. Dios mío, tú me enseñaste desde mi juventud, y hasta hoy he narrado tus maravillas.
At sinabi niya sa kanila, "Ang kasulatang ito na inyong narinig ay natupad ngayon." Pinuri siya ng lahat, at humanga sila sa kanyang napakahusay na pananalita. "Hindi ba ito ang anak ni Jose?" tanong nila. Kaya't sinabi ni Jesus, "Tiyak na sasabihin ninyo sa akin ang kasabihang ito, 'Doktor, gamutin mo muna ang iyong sarili!' Marahil, sasabihin pa ninyo, 'Gawin mo rin dito sa iyong sariling bayan ang mga nabalitaan naming ginawa mo sa Capernaum.' Tandaan ninyo, walang propetang kinikilala sa kanyang sariling bayan. Ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo, maraming biyuda sa Israel noong panahon ni Elias nang hindi umulan sa loob ng tatlo't kalahating taon at nagkaroon ng taggutom sa buong lupain. Subalit hindi pinapunta si Elias sa kaninuman sa kanila, kundi sa isang biyuda sa Sarepta, sa lupain ng Sidon. Sa dinami- dami ng mga may ketong b sa Israel noong panahon ni Eliseo, wala ni isa mang pinagaling at nilinis maliban kay Naaman, na isang taga-Siria."Nagalit ang lahat ng nasa sinagoga nang marinig ito. Nagsitayo sila at itinaboy siyang palabas papunta sa gilid ng bundok na kinakatayuan ng bayan upang ihulog siya sa bangin. Ngunit dumaan siya sa kalagitnaan nila at umalis.
ReplyDeleteFather John did not stick to the program…
ReplyDeleteOye, Padre Juan actualmente omitió algunas notas en la Misa.
DeleteHey, do you believe that he has omitted the Kyrie and the actual Gospel reading? Simply amazing. Although changing the program may be confusing, a presentation like this should not be discredited. Why? He does not need a script. Something that is improvised and not prepared for the actual Mass is something unique. Therefore, there is no need to criticize him.
DeleteInteresante. Me convenciste que la Misa no tiene que ser programada exactamente lo que se escribió en la guía. Es único cuando el sacerdote improvisa la entera Misa.
DeleteExacto. Pudimos ver que el sacerdote tuvo otra homilía para acomodar a la congregación.
DeleteDo we accept the responsibility willingly by the demands of the gospel? Do we have the courage to risk misunderstanding because of our faith? Let us examine ourselves.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteEl sacerdote omitió esta oración.
Delete¿Aceptamos la responsabilidad con gusto por las demandas del Evangelio? ¿Tenemos el coraje para arriesgarnos la malinterpretación porque de nuestra fe? Vamos a examinarnos.
DeleteFather John has omitted the statement of this Penitential Act and went directly to the Penitential Rite.

ReplyDeleteThe Kyrie has been omitted by Father John.
DeleteThis is the Kyrie for the 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
DeletePriest: Lord, you have the Word of life. It has the power to wake us up from our self from our self contentment, because we like to stick to our settled ways. Lord, have mercy.
Congregation: Lord, have mercy.
Priest: Jesus Christ, you spoke out and you carried out your mission without fear according to our consciences. Christ, have mercy.
Congregation: Christ, have mercy.
Priest: Lord, you loved us without reservations, because we lack the courage to love without compromise. Lord, have mercy.
Congregation: Lord, have mercy.
Have mercy on us, Lord, forgive us our lack of understanding, our cowardice and fears. Commit us to your gospel and lead us to everlasting life. Amen.
Once again, Father John has omitted the Kyrie. Instead, he decided to recite the Penitential Rite.
DeleteThis is the Collect (Opening Prayer) for the 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

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 we know it belongs to your boundless glory, that you came to the aid of mortal beings with your divinity and even fashioned for us a remedy out of mortality itself, that the cause of our downfall might become the means of our salvation, through Christ our Lord. Through him the host of Angels adores your majesty and rejoices in your presence forever. May our voices, we pray, join with theirs in one chorus of exultant praise, as we acclaim…
