First Reading (Acts 5: 27-32 and 40-41)
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.
So the captain and the court officers brought the apostles in and made them stand before the Council and the High Priest questioned them, "We gave you strict orders not to preach such a Savior; but you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you intend charging us with the killing of this man." To this Peter and the apostles replied, "Better for us to obey God rather than any human authority! The God of our ancestors raised Jesus whom you killed by hanging him on a wooden post. God set him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel. We are witnesses to all these things, as well as the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him." The Council called in the apostles and had them whipped, and order them not to speak again of Jesus the Savior. Then they set them free. The apostles went out from the Council rejoicing that they were considered worthy to suffer disgrace for the sake of the Name.
Second Reading (Revelation 5: 11-14)
A reading from the book of Revelation.
I, John, went on looking; I heard that noise of a multitude of angels gathered around the throne, the living creatures and the elders, numbering millions of millions, crying out with a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength, honor, glory and praise." Then I heard the voice of the whole universe, heaven, earth, sea, and the place of the dead; every creature cried out: "To him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb be praise, honor, glory and power forever and ever." And the four living creatures stated, "Amen." The elders bowed down and worshiped.
Gospel (John 21: 1-19)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
After that time, Jesus revealed himself to the disciples by the Lake of Tiberias. He appeared to them in this way. Simon Peter, Thomas who was called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee and two other disciples were together; and Simon Peter stated to them, "I am going fishing." The others replied, "We will come with you." They went out and climbed into the boat. However, they caught nothing that night. When day had already broken, Jesus was standing on the shore. However, the disciples did not realize that the person standing there was actually Jesus. Jesus called them, "Children, have you acquired anything to eat?" They answered, "Nothing." Then Jesus stated to them, "Throw the net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they had lowered the net, they were not able to pull it in because of the huge amount of fish. Then the disciple Jesus loved stated to Peter, "It is the Lord!" At these words, Simon Peter put on his clothes, for he was stripped for work, and jumped into the water. The other disciples came in the boat dragging the net full of fish; they were not far from land, it was approximately one hundred meters. When they landed, they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it, and some bread. Jesus stated to them, "Bring some of the fish that you have just caught." So Simon Peter climbed into the boat and pulled the net to share. It was full of big fish — one hundred and fifty-three — however, in spite of this, the net was not torn. Jesus proposed to them, "Come and have breakfast." Not even one of the disciples dared to ask Jesus, "Who are you?" for they knew it was the Lord. Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it them, and he did the same with the fish. This was the third Jesus revealed himself to his disciples after his resurrection. After they had finished breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." And Jesus stated, "Feed my lambs." Jesus asked Simon Peter a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" And Peter answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus replied back, "Look after my sheep." Jesus once again asked Simon Peter for a third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was saddened because Jesus had asked him a third time, "Do you love me?" and he replied, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus then stated, "Feed my sheep. Truly, I say to you, when you were young you put on your belt and walked where you liked. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and another will put a belt around you and lead you where you do not wish to go." Jesus had spoken this to make known the kind of death by which Peter was to glorify God. And he added, "Follow me."

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 30) (Verses 2, 4-6, 11, 12a, 13b)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: I will praise you Lord, for you have rescued me. (or you may sing Alleluia!)
I extol you, O Lord, for you have rescued me; my enemies will not gloat over me. O Lord, you have brought me up from the grave, you gave me life when I was going to the pit.
Sing to the Lord, O you his saints, give thanks and praise to his holy name. For his anger lasts but a little while, and his kindness all through life. Weeping may tarry for the night, but rejoicing comes with the dawn.
Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me; O Lord, be my protector. But now, you have turned my mourning into rejoicing; O Lord my God, forever will I give you thanks.
Salmo responsivo (Salmo 30) (Versículo 2, 4-6, 11, 12ª, 13b)
DeleteLa respuesta es: Te adoraré, Señor, porque me has rescatado a mí. O ¡aleluya!
Yo te glorifico, Señor, porque tú me libraste y no quisiste que mis enemigos se rieran de mí. Tú, Señor, me levantaste del Abismo y me hiciste revivir, cuando estaba entre los que bajan al sepulcro. Canten al Señor, sus fieles; den gracias a su santo Nombre, porque su enojo dura un instante, y su bondad, toda la vida: si por la noche se derraman lágrimas, por la mañana renace la alegría. Escucha, Señor, ten piedad de mí; ven a ayudarme, Señor. Tú convertiste mi lamento en júbilo. ¡Señor, Dios mío, te daré gracias eternamente!
Primera Lectura (Hechos de los Apóstoles 5: 27-32 y 40-41)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura de los Hechos de los Apóstoles.
Los hicieron comparecer ante el Sanedrín, y el Sumo Sacerdote les dijo: “Nosotros les habíamos prohibido expresamente predicar en ese Nombre, y ustedes han llenado Jerusalén con su doctrina. ¡Así quieren hacer recaer sobre nosotros la sangre de ese hombre!” Pedro, junto con los Apóstoles, respondió: “Hay que obedecer a Dios antes que a los hombres. El Dios de nuestros padres ha resucitado a Jesús, al que ustedes hicieron morir suspendiéndolo del patíbulo. A él, Dios lo exaltó con su poder, haciéndolo Jefe y Salvador, a fin de conceder a Israel la conversión y el perdón de los pecados. Nosotros somos testigos de estas cosas, nosotros y el Espíritu Santo que Dios ha enviado a los que le obedecen.” El Sanedrín llamó a los Apóstoles, y después de hacerlos azotar, les prohibieron hablar en el nombre de Jesús y los soltaron. Los Apóstoles, por su parte, salieron del Sanedrín, dichosos de haber sido considerados dignos de padecer por el nombre de Jesús.
Segunda Lectura (Apocalipsis 5: 11-14)
Una lectura del libro del Apocalipsis.
Yo, Juan, seguía mirando, y oí el clamor de una multitud de ángeles que estaban alrededor del trono, de los Seres Vivientes y de los Ancianos. Eran millones, centenares de millones que gritaban a toda voz: Digno es el Cordero degollado de recibir poder y riqueza, sabiduría y fuerza, honor, gloria y alabanza. Y les respondían todas las criaturas del cielo, de la tierra, del mar y del mundo de abajo. Oí que decían: Al que está sentado en el trono y al Cordero, la alabanza, el honor, la gloria y el poder por los siglos de los siglos. Y los cuatro Seres Vivientes decían “Amén”, mientras los Ancianos se postraban y adoraban.
Evangelio (Juan 21: 1-19)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del Evangelio Santo según San Juan.
Después de esto, Jesús se apareció otra vez a los discípulos a orillas del mar de Tiberíades. Sucedió así: estaban junto Simón Pedro, Tomás, llamado el Mellizo, Nataniel, el de Caná de Galilea, los hijos de Zebedeo y otros dos discípulos. Simón Pedro les dijo: “Voy a pescar.” Ellos le respondieron: “Vamos también nosotros.” Salieron y subieron a la barca. Pero esa noche no pescaron nada. Al amanecer, Jesús estaba en la orilla, aunque los discípulos no sabían que era él. Jesús les dijo: “Muchachos, ¿tienen algo para comer?” Ellos respondieron: “No.” Él les dijo: “Tiren la red a la derecha de la barca y encontrarán.” Ellos la tiraron y se llenó tanto de peces que no podían arrastrarla. El discípulo al que Jesús amaba dijo a Pedro: “¡Es el Señor!” Cuando Simón Pedro oyó que era el Señor, se ciñó la túnica, que era lo único que llevaba puesto, y se tiró al agua. Los otros discípulos fueron en la barca, arrastrando la red con los peces, porque estaban sólo a unos cien metros de la orilla. Al bajar a tierra vieron que había fuego preparado, un pescado sobre los brasas y pan. Jesús les dijo: “Traigan algunos de los pescados que acaban de sacar.” Simón Pedro subió a la barca y sacó la red a tierra, llena de peces grandes: eran ciento cincuenta y tres y, a pesar de ser tantos, la red no se rompió. Jesús les dijo: “Vengan a comer.” Ninguno de los discípulos se atrevía a preguntarle: “¿Quién eres?” porque sabían que era el Señor. Jesús se acercó, tomó el pan y se lo dio, e hizo lo mismo con el pescado. Esta fue la tercera vez que Jesús resucitado se apareció a sus discípulos. Después de comer, Jesús dijo a Simón Pedro: “Simón, hijo de Juan, ¿me amas más que estos?” Él le respondió: “Sí, Señor, tú sabes que te quiero.” Jesús le dijo: “Apacienta mis corderos.” Le volvió a decir por segunda vez: “Simón, hijo de Juan, ¿me amas?” Él le respondió: “Sí, Señor, saber que te quiero.” Jesús le dijo: “Apacienta mis ovejas.” Le preguntó por tercera vez: “Simón, hijo de Juan, ¿me quieres?” Pedro se entristeció de que por tercera vez le preguntara si lo quería, y le dijo: “Señor, tú lo sabes todo; sabes que te quiero.” Jesús le dijo: “Apacienta mis ovejas. Te aseguro que cuando eras joven tú mismo te vestías e ibas a donde querías. Pero cuando seas viejo, extenderás tus brazos, y otro te atará y te llevará a donde no quieras.” De esta manera, indicaba con qué muerte Pedro debía glorificar a Dios. Y después de hablar así, le dijo: “Sígueme.”
We now need the Lord's forgiveness that we do not live enough as people in whom he is alive and has risen.

In faith and trust we pray to you, Lord. Make us grow in your life, now and forever. Amen.
Receive, O Lord, we pray, these offerings of your exultant Church, and as you have given her cause for such great gladness, grant also that the gifts we bring may bear fruit in perpetual happiness. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
ReplyDeleteIt is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, at all times to acclaim you, O Lord, but in this time above all to laud you yet more gloriously, when Christ our Pass over has been sacrificed. He never ceases to offer himself for us but defends us and ever pleads our cause before you. he is the sacrificial victim who dies no more. The Lamb, who was once slain, lives forever. Therefore, overcome with paschal joy, every land, every people exults in your praise and even the heavenly powers, with the angelic hosts, sing together the unending hymn of your glory, as they acclaim…
ReplyDeleteEucharistic Prayer no. 2 is utilized for this Mass.
