First Reading (Amos 6: 1 and 4-7)
A reading from the book of the Prophet Amos.
Woe to those proud people who live, overconfident on the hill of Samaria! Woe to you, men of renown, from the first among the nations, to whom the people of Israel come! You lie on beds inlaid with ivory and sprawl on your couches; you eat lamb from the flock and veal from calves fattened in the stall. You strum on your harps, and like David, try out new musical instruments. You drink wine by the bowlful and anoint yourselves with the finest oils, but you do not grieve over the ruins of Joseph. Therefore you will be the first to go into exile; and the feast of sprawlers will be over.
Second Reading (1 Timothy 6: 11-16)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to Timothy.
But you, man of God, shun righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. Strive to be holy and godly. Live in faith and love, with endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith and win everlasting life to which you were called when you made the good profession of faith in the presence of so many witnesses. Now, in the presence of God who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus who gave the good testimony before Pontius Pilate, I command you to keep the commandment. Keep yourself pure and blameless until the glorious coming of Christ Jesus, our Lord, which God will bring about at the proper time, he, the magnificent sovereign, King of kings and Lord of lords. To him, alone immortal, who lives in unapproachable light and whom no one has ever seen or can see, to him be honor and power for ever and ever. Amen!
Gospel (Luke 16: 19-31)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
Jesus continued with this parable and stated this to the Pharisees: "Once there was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and feasted every day. At his gate lay Lazarus, a poor man covered with sores, who longed to eat just the scraps falling from the rich man's table. Even dogs used to come and lick his sores. It happened that the poor man died and angels carried him to take his place with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried. From hell where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham afar off, and with him Lazarus at rest. He called out: 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus with the tip of his finger dipped in water to cool my tongue, for I suffer so much in this fire.' Abraham replied: 'My son, remember that in your lifetime you were well-off while the lot of Lazarus was misfortune. Now he is in comfort and you are in agony. But that is not all. Between your place and ours a great chasm has been fixed, so that no one can cross over from here to you or from your side to us.' The rich man implored once more: 'Then I beg you, Father Abraham, to send Lazarus to my father's house where my five brothers live. Let him warn them so that they may not end up in this place of torment.' Abraham replied: 'They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.' But the rich man said: 'No, Father Abraham. But if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.' Abraham replied: 'If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the grave.'"

Primera Lectura (Amós 6: 1 y 4–7)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro del profeta Amós.
¡Ay de los que se sienten seguros en Sión y de los que viven confiados en la montaña de Samaria, esos notables de la primera de las naciones, a los que acude la casa de Israel! Acostados en lechos de marfil y apoltronados en sus divanes, comen los corderos del rebaño y los terneros sacados del establo. Improvisan al son del arpa, y como David, inventan instrumentos musicales; beben el vino en grandes copas y se ungen con los mejores aceites, pero no se afligen por la ruina de José. Por eso, ahora irán al cautiverio al frente de los deportados, y se terminará la orgía de los libertinos.
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 146) (Versículos 6b–10)
La respuesta es: ¡Adora al Señor, mi alma! (O ¡aleluya!)
• Él mantiene su fidelidad para siempre, hace justicia a los oprimidos y da pan a los hambrientos. El Señor libera a los cautivos.
• El Señor abre los ojos de los ciegos y endereza a los que están encorvados. El Señor protege a los extranjeros y sustenta al huérfano y a la viuda.
• El Señor ama a los justos y entorpece el camino de los malvados. El Señor reina eternamente, reina tu Dios, Sión, a lo largo de las generaciones. ¡Aleluya!
Segunda Lectura (1 Timoteo 6: 11–16)
Una lectura de la primera carta de San Pablo a Timoteo.
En lo que a ti concierne, hombre Dios, huye de todo esto. Practica la justicia, la piedad, la fe, el amor, la constancia, la bondad. Pelea el buen combate de la fe, conquista la Vida eterna, a la que has sido llamado y en vista de la cual hiciste una magnífica profesión de fe, en presencia de numerosos testigos. Yo te ordeno delante de Dios, que da vida a todas las cosas, y delante de Cristo Jesús, que dio buen testimonio ante Poncio Pilato: observa lo que está prescrito, manteniéndote sin mancha e irreprensible hasta la Manifestación de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Manifestación que hará aparecer a su debido tiempo el bienaventurado y único Soberano, el Rey de los reyes y Señor de los señores, el único que posee la inmortalidad y habita en una luz inaccesible, a quien ningún hombre vio ni puede ver. ¡A él sea el honor y el poder para siempre! Amén.
Evangelio (Lucas 16: 19–31)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según San Lucas.
Jesús les dijo esto a los fariseos, “Había un hombre rico que se vestía de púrpura y lino finísimo y cada día hacía espléndidos banquetes. A su puerta, cubierto de llagas, yacía un pobre llamado Lázaro, Había un hombre rico que se vestía de púrpura y lino finísimo y cada día hacía espléndidos banquetes. A su puerta, cubierto de llagas, yacía un pobre llamado Lázaro, que ansiaba saciarse con lo que caía de la mesa del rico; y hasta los perros iban a lamer sus llagas. El pobre murió y fue llevado por los ángeles al seno de Abraham. El rico también murió y fue sepultado. En la morada de los muertos, en medio de los tormentos, levantó los ojos y vio de lejos a Abraham, y a Lázaro junto a él. Entonces exclamó: ‘Padre Abraham, ten piedad de mí y envía a Lázaro para que moje la punta de su dedo en el agua y refresque mi lengua, porque estas llamas me atormentan.’ ‘Hijo mío, respondió Abraham, recuerda que has recibido tus bienes en vida y Lázaro, en cambio, recibió males; ahora él encuentra aquí su consuelo, y tú, el tormento. Además, entre ustedes y nosotros se abre un gran abismo. De manera que los que quieren pasar de aquí hasta allí no pueden hacerlo, y tampoco se puede pasar de allí hasta aquí’. El rico contestó: ‘Te ruego entonces, padre, que envíes a Lázaro a la casa de mi padre, porque tengo cinco hermanos: que él los prevenga, no sea que ellos también caigan en este lugar de tormento’. Abraham respondió: ‘Tienen a Moisés y a los Profetas; que los escuchen’. ‘No, padre Abraham, insistió el rico. Pero si alguno de los muertos va a verlos, se arrepentirán’. Pero Abraham respondió: ‘Si no escuchan a Moisés y a los Profetas, aunque resucite alguno de entre los muertos, tampoco se convencerán.’”
