First Reading (Zechariah 12: 10-11 and 13:1)
A reading from the book of the Prophet Zechariah.
Thus states the Lord: I will pour out on the family of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of love and supplication. They will look at the one who was pierced and mourn for him as for an only child, weeping bitterly as for a firstborn. The mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning of Haddadrimmon in the plain of Megiddo. On that day a spring will well up for the family of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem to cleanse themselves of sin and defilement.
Second Reading (Galatians 3: 26-29)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Galatians.
Brothers and sisters: Now, in Christ Jesus, all of you are sons and daughters of God through faith. All of you who were given to Christ through baptism, have put on Christ. Here there is no longer any difference between Jew or Greek, or between slave or freed, or between man and woman: but all of you are one in Christ Jesus. And because you belong to Christ, you are of Abraham's race and you are to inherit God's promise.
Gospel (Luke 9: 18-24)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
One day when Jesus was praying alone, not far from his disciples, he asked them, "What do people say about me?" And they answered, "Some say that you are John the Baptist; others say that you are Elijah, and still others that you are one of the former prophets risen from the dead." Again Jesus asked them, "Who then do you say I am?" Peter answered, "The Messiah of God." Then Jesus spoke to them, giving them strict orders not to tell this to anyone. And Jesus added, "The Son of Man must suffer many things. He will be rejected by the elders and chief priests and teachers of the Law, and put to death. Then after three days will be raised to life." Jesus additionally stated to all the people, "If you wish to be a follower of mine, deny yourself and take up your cross each day, and follow me. For if you choose to save your life, you will lose it, and if you lose your life for my sake, you will save it."

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 63) (Verses 2-6 and 8-9)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
O God, you are my God, it is you I seek; for you my body longs and my soul thirsts, as a dry and weary land without water.
Thus have I gazed upon you in the sanctuary, to see your power and your glory. Your love is better than life, my lips shall glorify you.
I will bless you as long as I live, lift up my hands and call on your name. As with the richest food my soul will feast; my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.
You have been my help; I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you, your right hand upholds me.
Primera Lectura (Zacarías 12: 10-11 and 13:1)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro del profeta Zacarías.
Derramaré sobre la casa de David y sobre los habitantes de Jerusalén un espíritu de gracia y de súplica; y ellos mirarán hacia mí, En cuanto al que ellos traspasaron, se lamentarán por él como por un hijo único y lo llorarán amargamente como se llora al primogénito. Aquel día, habrá un gran lamento en Jerusalén, como el lamento de Hadad Rimón, en la llanura de Meguido. Aquel día, habrá una fuente abierta para la casa de David y para los habitantes de Jerusalén, a fin de lavar el pecado y la impureza.
Salmo responsivo (Salmo 63) (Versículos 2-6 y 8-9)
La respuesta es: Mi alma tiene sed de ti, O Señor mi Dios.
• Oh Dios, tú eres mi Dios, yo te busco ardientemente; mi alma tiene sed de ti, por ti suspira mi carne como tierra sedienta, reseca y sin agua.
• Sí, yo te contemplé en el Santuario para ver tu poder y tu gloria. Porque tu amor vale más que la vida, mis labios te alabarán.
• Así te bendeciré mientras viva y alzaré mis manos en tu Nombre. Mi alma quedará saciada como con un manjar delicioso, y mi boca te alabará con júbilo en los labios.
• Veo que has sido mi ayuda y soy feliz a la sombra de tus alas. Mi alma está unida a ti, tu mano me sostiene.
Segunda Lectura (Gálatas 3: 26-29)
Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los gálatas/galicianos.
Porque todos ustedes son hijos de Dios por la fe en Cristo Jesús, ya que todos ustedes, que fueron bautizados en Cristo, han sido revestidos de Cristo. Por lo tanto, ya no hay judío ni pagano, esclavo ni hombre libre, varón ni mujer, porque todos ustedes no son más que uno en Cristo Jesús. Y si ustedes pertenecen a Cristo, entonces son descendientes de Abraham, herederos en virtud de la promesa.
Evangelio (Lucas 9: 18-24)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según San Lucas.
Un día en que Jesús oraba a solas y sus discípulos estaban con él, les preguntó: “¿Quién dice la gente que soy yo?” Ellos le respondieron: “Unos dicen que eres Juan el Bautista; otros, Elías; y otros, alguno de los antiguos profetas que ha resucitado.” “Pero ustedes, les preguntó, ¿quién dicen que soy yo?” Pedro, tomando la palabra, respondió: “Tú eres el Mesías de Dios.” Y él les ordenó terminantemente que no lo dijeran a nadie. “El hijo del hombre, les dijo, debe sufrir mucho, ser rechazado por los ancianos, los sumos sacerdotes y los escribas, ser condenado a muerte y resucitar al tercer día.” Después dijo a todos: “El que quiera venir detrás de mí, que renuncie a sí mismo, que cargue con su cruz cada día y me siga. Porque el que quiera salvar su vida, la perderá y el que pierda su vida por mí, la salvará.”

Unang Pagbabasa (Zacarias 12: 10-11 at 13:1)
DeleteAng isang pagbabasa mula sa pangalawang aklat ng Zacarias.
Ang lahi ni David at ang mga taga-Jerusalem ay gagawin kong mahabagin at mapanalanginin. Sa gayon, kapag pinagmasdan nila ang kanilang sinaksak ng sibat ay tatangisan nila itong parang kaisa-isang anak o anak na panganay. Sa araw na iyon, ang iyakan sa Jerusalem ay matutulad sa nangyari noon sa Hadad-rimon sa kapatagan ng Megido. Sinabi pa ni Yahweh, "Sa panahong iyon, lilitaw ang isang bukal at lilinisin nito ang kasalanan at karumihan ng sambahayan ni David at ng mga taga-Jerusalem.

Dahil sa inyong pananalig kay Cristo Jesus, kayong lahat ay anak ng Diyos. Ang buhay mismo ni Cristo ang isinuot sa inyo na parang damit nang kayo'y mabautismuhan sa kanya. Wala nang pagkakaiba ang Judio at ang Griego, ang alipin at ang malaya, ang lalaki at ang babae. Kayong lahat ay iisa na dahil sa inyong pakikipag-isa kay Cristo Jesus. At kung kayo'y kay Cristo, kayo'y lahi ni Abraham at tagapagmana ng mga pangako ng Diyos.

DeleteAng magandang balita ayon kay San Lucas.
Isang araw, habang si Jesus ay nananalanging mag-isa, lumapit sa kanya ang mga alagad. Tinanong sila ni Jesus, "Ano ang sinasabi ng mga tao tungkol sa akin? Sino raw ako?" Sumagot sila, "Ang sabi po ng ilan, kayo si Juan na Tagapagbautismo; sabi naman po ng iba, kayo si Elias; may nagsasabi namang muling nabuhay ang isa sa mga propeta noong unang panahon." "Kayo naman, ano ang sabi ninyo?" tanong niya sa kanila. "Kayo po ang Cristo na sinugo ng Diyos!" sagot ni Pedro. Mahigpit na itinagubilin ni Jesus sa kanyang mga alagad na huwag nilang sasabihin ito kaninuman. Sinabi pa niya sa kanila, "Ang Anak ng Tao'y dapat magdanas ng matinding hirap. Itatakwil siya ng mga pinuno ng bayan, ng mga punong pari at ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. Siya ay ipapapatay nila ngunit sa ikatlong araw ay muli siyang bubuhayin ng Diyos." At sinabi niya sa kanilang lahat, "Ang sinumang nagnanais sumunod sa akin ay kinakailangang itakwil niya ang kanyang sarili, pasanin araw-araw ang kanyang krus, at sumunod sa akin. Ang naghahangad na magligtas ng kanyang buhay ay mawawalan nito, ngunit ang mawalan ng kanyang buhay alang-alang sa akin ay magkakamit nito."

"Aku akan mencurahkan roh pengasihan dan roh permohonan atas keluarga Daud dan atas penduduk Yerusalem, dan mereka akan memandang kepada dia yang telah mereka tikam, dan akan meratapi dia seperti orang meratapi anak tunggal, dan akan menangisi dia dengan pedih seperti orang menangisi anak sulung. Pada waktu itu ratapan di Yerusalem akan sama besarnya dengan ratapan atas Hadad-Rimon di lembah Megido. Pada waktu itu akan terbuka suatu sumber bagi keluarga Daud dan bagi penduduk Yerusalem untuk membasuh dosa dan kecemaran.
Mazmur (Mazmur 63) (Ayat 2-6 dan 8-9)
Tanggapan adalah: Jiwaku haus kepadamu, Tuhanku dan Allahku.
— Ya Allah, engkaulah Allahku, aku mencari engkau, jiwaku haus kepadamu, tubuhku rindu kepadamu, seperti tanah yang kering dan tandus, tiada berair.
— Demikianlah aku memandang kepadamu di tempat kudus, sambil melihat kekuatanmu dan kemuliaanmu. Sebab kasih setiamu lebih baik dari pada hidup; bibirku akan memegahkan engkau.
— Demikianlah aku mau memuji engkau seumur hidupku dan menaikkan tanganku demi namamu. Seperti dengan lemak dan sumsum jiwaku dikenyangkan, dan dengan bibir yang bersorak-sorai mulutku memuji-muji.
— Sungguh engkau telah menjadi pertolonganku, dan dalam naungan sayapmu aku bersorak-sorai. Jiwaku melekat kepadamu, tangan kananmu menopang aku.

Saudara-saudara: Sebab kamu semua adalah anak-anak Allah karena iman di dalam Yesus Kristus. Karena kamu semua, yang dibaptis dalam Kristus, telah mengenakan Kristus.

Bacaan Injil (Lukas 9: 18-24)
Pembacaan dari Injil kudus menurut Lukas.
Pada suatu kali ketika Yesus berdoa seorang diri, datanglah murid-muridnya kepadanya. Lalu ia bertanya kepada mereka: "Kata orang banyak, siapakah aku ini?" Jawab mereka: "Yohanes pembaptis, ada juga yang mengatakan: Elia, ada pula yang mengatakan, bahwa seorang dari nabi-nabi dahulu telah bangkit." Yesus bertanya kepada mereka: "Menurut kamu, siapakah aku ini?" Jawab Petrus: "Mesias dari Allah." Lalu Yesus melarang mereka dengan keras, supaya mereka jangan memberitahukan hal itu kepada siapapun. Dan Yesus berkata: "Anak Manusia harus menanggung banyak penderitaan dan ditolak oleh tua-tua, imam-imam kepala dan ahli-ahli taurat, lalu dibunuh dan dibangkitkan pada hari ketiga." Katanya kepada mereka semua: "Setiap orang yang mau mengikut aku, ia harus menyangkal dirinya, memikul salibnya setiap hari dan mengikut aku. Karena barangsiapa mau menyelamatkan nyawanya, ia akan kehilangan nyawanya; tetapi barangsiapa kehilangan nyawanya karena aku, ia akan menyelamatkannya.
