First Reading (2 Samuel 5: 1–3)
A reading from the second book of Samuel.
All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and stated, "We are your bone and flesh. In the past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel. And the Lord stated to you, 'You shall be the shepherd of my people Israel and you shall be commander over Israel.'" Before the Lord, King David made a compromise with the elders of Israel who came to him at Hebron, and they anointed him king of Israel.
Second Reading (Colossians 1: 12–20)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Colossians.
Constantly give thanks to the Father who has empowered us to receive our share in the inheritance of the saints in his kingdom of light. He rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son. In him we are redeemed and forgiven. He is the image of the unseen God, and for all creation he is the first-born, for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible: thrones, rulers, authorities, powers... All was made through him and for him. He is before all and all things hold together in him. And he is the head of the body, that is the Church, for he is the first, the first raised from the dead that he may be the first in everything, for God was pleased to let fullness dwell in him. Through him God willed to reconcile all things to himself, and through him, through his blood shed on the cross, God establishes peace, on earth as in heaven.
Gospel (Luke 23: 35–43)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
The people stood by watching at the three crucified people on the cross. Jesus was hanging at the center, and two other criminals hanging at the sides of Jesus. As for the rulers, they jeered at him, saying to one another, "Let the man who saved others now save himself, for he is the Messiah, the chosen one of God!" The soldiers also mocked him and when they drew near to offer him bitter wine, they stated, "So you are the king of the Jews? Free yourself!" For above him was an inscription which read, "This is the King of the Jews." One of the criminals hanging with Jesus insulted him, "So you are the Messiah? Save yourself and us as well!" But the other rebuked him, saying, "Have you no fear of God, you who received the same sentence as he did? For us it is just: this is payment for what we have done. But this man has done nothing wrong." And he stated, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Jesus replied, "Truly, you will be with me today in paradise."

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 122) (Verses 1-5)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
I rejoiced with those who stated to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord!" And now we have set foot within your gates, O Jerusalem!
Jerusalem, just like a city, where everything falls into place! There the tribes go up, who are the tribes of the Lord.
The assembly of Israel compromised on a decree, to give thanks to the Lord's name. There stand the courts of justice, the offices of the house of David.
Hey guys! It has been many days and weeks, but I would love to post comments on this blog, and there are times that these readings are quite interesting. I already went to Saint Theresia about the readings, and they are quite interesting when Father Ignatius discussed about it during the homily. Keep up the good work, priests!
ReplyDeleteYo Grindan! Father Ignatius discussed this like three years ago! He has moved to another place in Indonesia.
DeleteAh, right! Oops!
DeleteNo problem.
Delete¡Caracoles! Me olvidé que Padre Ignacio no está aquí en Yakarta. No hay ningún problema, puedo recordar que Padre Ignacio está en nuestras plegarias.
DeleteHello, everybody. I just would like to report to everyone who is reading on this blog that the next week readings will transform to Year A readings. Since next week will be the 1st Sunday of Advent, Christmas is coming! Matthew's Gospel will be reading next week, and the Advent Wreath Rites will commence again.
ReplyDeleteHey Gurvilin, this is the exact same comment that you posted three years ago.
DeleteI know, it seems cliché, but it does remind everyone the structure of how the Bible readings are read.
DeleteExcellent. Solid work.
DeleteIndeed, it has been quite a long time that we have stayed in Year C.
DeletePrimera Lectura (2 Samuel 5: 1–3)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del segundo libro de Samuel.
Todas las tribus de Israel se congregaron en torno a David en Hebrón y le dijeron: “Somos de tus mismos huesos y de tu misma carne. Ya antes, cuando Saúl era todavía nuestro rey, tú eras el que conducía a Israel. Yahvé bien te dijo: Tú serás el pastor de mi pueblo Israel, tú serás el jefe de Israel.” Todos los ancianos de Israel fueron a Hebrón a ver al rey y el rey David firmó con ellos una alianza en Hebrón en presencia de Yahvé. Después de lo cual consagraron a David como rey de Israel.
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 122) (Versículos 1–5)
La respuesta es: Vamos a alabar a la casa del Dios.
• ¡Qué alegría cuando me dijeron: “Vamos a la Casa del Señor!” Nuestros pies ya están pisando tus umbrales, Jerusalén.
• Jerusalén, que fuiste construida como ciudad bien compacta y armoniosa. Allí suben las tribus, las tribus del Señor.
• La multitud de Israel comprometió en una norma para celebrar el nombre del Señor. Porque allí está el trono de la justicia, el trono de la casa de David.
Segunda Lectura (Colosenses 1: 12–20)
Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los Colosenses.
Darán gracias con alegría al Padre, que nos ha hecho dignos de participar de la herencia luminosa de los santos. Porque él nos libró del poder de las tinieblas y nos hizo entrar en el Reino de su Hijo muy querido, en quien tenemos la redención y el perdón de los pecados. Él es la Imagen del Dios invisible, el Primogénito de toda la creación, porque en él fueron creadas todas las cosas, tanto en el cielo como en la tierra los seres visibles y los invisibles, Tronos, Dominaciones, Principados y Potestades: todo fue creado por medio de él y para él. Él existe antes que todas las cosas y todo subsiste en él. Él es también la Cabeza del Cuerpo, es decir, de la Iglesia. Él es el Principio, el Primero que resucitó de entre los muertos, a fin de que él tuviera la primacía en todo, porque Dios quiso que en él residiera toda la Plenitud. Por él quiso reconciliar consigo todo lo que existe en la tierra y en el cielo, restableciendo la paz por la sangre de su cruz.
Evangelio (Lucas 23: 35–43)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según San Lucas.
La gente estaba allí mirando; los jefes, por su parte, se burlaban diciendo: “Si salvó a otros, que se salve a sí mismo, ya que es el Mesías de Dios, el Elegido.” También los soldados se burlaban de él. Le ofrecieron vino agridulce diciendo: “Si tú eres el rey de los judíos, sálvate a ti mismo.” Porque había sobre la cruz un letrero que decía: “Este es el rey de los judíos.” Uno de los malhechores que estaban crucificados con Jesús lo insultaba: “¿No eres tú el Mesías? ¡Sálvate a ti mismo y también a nosotros!” Pero el otro lo reprendió diciendo: “¿No temes a Dios tú, que estás en el mismo suplicio? Nosotros lo hemos merecido y pagamos por lo que hemos hecho, pero éste no ha hecho nada malo.” Y añadió: “Jesús, acuérdate de mí cuando entres en tu Reino.” Jesús le respondió: “En verdad te digo que hoy mismo estarás conmigo en el paraíso.”
Este reglamento es en efecto: el estacionamiento está disponible por el primer carril de la calle cercana a la iglesia, pero no puede haber coches estacionados en el segundo carril. Puedes estacionar cerca el centro comercial. Si desobedeces estas directrices, una multa se te impondrá.
ReplyDeleteEste reglamento está impuesto por el gobierno.
DeleteHow worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and divinity, and wisdom and strength and honor. To him belong glory and power forever and ever.
ReplyDeleteFor this Penitential Act, the priest and the congregation must recite the penitential prayer.
ReplyDeleteThis is the absolution for the penitential prayer: May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life. Amen.
ReplyDeleteAs usual the Gloria is sung after this penitential act. Bells are rung during the Gloria.
DeleteKeep in mind that next week during the Advent season, the Gloria will be omitted.
DeleteNote that all vestments and garments worn are white.
ReplyDeleteLast year, garments used to be red. This year, garments are white.
DeleteThis is the Collect (Opening Prayer) for the mass of Christ the King.
ReplyDeleteLet us pray. Almighty ever-living God, whose will is to restore all things in your beloved Son, the King of the whole creation, set free from slavery, may render your majesty service and ceaselessly proclaim your praise. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
This is the Gospel Acclamation for Christ the King.
ReplyDeleteAlleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is to come.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Father Mocco's homily lasted for 10'01"76.
ReplyDeleteLa homilía duró por 10 minutos y un segundo.
DeleteEl Evangelio tiene un tema central: el rey del universo. ¿Cuántas veces ves la palabra "rey" en el evangelio? No dos, sino tres veces, porque la palabra, "reino" es considerada.
DeletePriest: Let us pray to our Lord Jesus Christ that his kingdom may grow among us, and let us say: Lord, your kingdom come.
ReplyDelete— Christ came as the Savior of all. That his kingdom may come to those who have lost the way to God and to people. Let us pray to the Lord. Lord, your kingdom come.
— Christ reconciled heaven and earth. That his kingdom may come through peace among nations. Let us pray to the Lord. Lord, your kingdom come.
— Christ is the head of the Church. That his kingdom may come through the unity of all Christians. Let us pray to the Lord. Lord, your kingdom come.
— Christ gave a place in his kingdom to sinners, to the poor, to those who suffer. That his kingdom may grow among the weak and the voiceless of our day. Let us pray to the Lord. Lord, your kingdom come.
— Christ is the first to rise from the dead. That his kingdom may come with its joy to all our beloved ones who have died. Let us pray to the Lord. Lord, your kingdom come.
— Christ is alive in our communities. That his kingdom may grow through our dedication and service. Let us pray to the Lord. Lord, your kingdom come.
— Lord, in your Holy name, obtain for us from your Heavenly Father, his providence of the Saint Peter Canisius International Catholic Parish. Let us pray to the Lord. Lord, your kingdom come.
Priest: We pray for those intentions offered for the Mass and for our personal intentions… Let us pray to the Lord. Lord, your kingdom come.
Lord Jesus, make us into a people that brings your justice and love to everyone on earth, that your kingdom may grow among us now and forever. Amen.
As we offer you, O Lord, the sacrifice by which the human race is reconciled to you, we humbly pray that your Son himself may bestow on all nations the gifts of unity and peace. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
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 you anointed your only begotten son, our Lord Jesus Christ, with the oil of gladness as eternal priest and king of all creation, so that by offering himself on the altar of the cross as spotless sacrifice to bring us peace, he might accomplish the mysteries of human redemption and making all created things subject to his rule, he might present to the immensity of your majesty an eternal and universal kingdom, a kingdom of truth and life, a kingdom of holiness and grace, and a kingdom of justice, love and peace. And so, with angels and archangels, with thrones and dominions, and with all the hosts and powers of heaven, we sing the hymn of your glory, as without end we acclaim…
ReplyDeleteEucharistic Prayer no. 2 is utilized for this Mass.
ReplyDeleteOn this day, the procession of the holy sacrament transpires. See the information below.
ReplyDeleteLet us pray. Most merciful Father and in the sacred heart of your son, wounded by our sins, you have blessed us with your infinite love. Let us revere in you, and let us seek repentance for our sins, in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
DeleteThe prayer above is the introduction for praying in front of the most blessed sacrament.
DeleteLord Jesus Christ, because of your divine love for us, you make known of your presence in the Blessed Sacrament, full of divine mercy and love. For you have patiently waited for us to come to you, and you have always welcome us to be in union with you. I believe that the Blessed Sacrament is truly you, Lord Jesus Christ. Now I come to adore you. I come to thank you for your boundless love and divine mercy. I come to ask for your forgiveness for my frequent lack of faith, which has greatly offended you. I come to revere in you and say I am sorry for the time that I have caused you pain by my distractions and my obliviousness to your presence in my midst. Oh Lord Jesus, I want to love you with my whole heart, whole mind and whole soul. May you help me to see your presence through my eyes of faith, to love you through loving the least of my brothers, and to open my heart in the silence of my soul to seek you out and to listen to your will for my life. Lord, please help me remove anything in my heart which is not in accordance to your love. And I also ask for your divine mercy for the deliverance of souls in purgatory, especially for the souls of the faithful who had loved and served the blessed sacrament and we ask for the prayers and intercessions of our Blessed Virgin Mary. Amen.
DeleteHaving received the food of immortality, we ask, O Lord, that glorying in obedience to the commands of Christ, the king of the universe, we may live with him eternally in his heavenly kingdom. Who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.
DeleteYou have given us bread from heaven. Have in itself all sweetness. Let us pray to Lord Jesus Christ, as you gave us the Eucharist as the memorial of your suffering and death. May our worship of this sacrament of your body and blood help us to experience the salvation you won for us and the pace of the kingdom where you live with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
DeleteAfter the acclamation above, the procession of the most blessed sacrament commences. The choir sings the famous Latin song: Tatum Ergo.
DeleteLa procesión del sacramento bendito es acompañado con la canción latina: Tatum Ergo.
DeleteBlessed be God. Blessed by his holy name. Blessed be Jesus Christ true God and true man. Blessed be the name of Jesus. Blessed be his most sacred heart. Blessed be his most precious blood. Blessed by Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Blessed by the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete. Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most holy. Blessed be her holy and immaculate conception. Blessed be her glorious assumption. Blessed be the name of Mary, Virgin and Mother. Blessed be Saint Joseph, her most chaste spouse. Blessed be God in his angels and in his saints.
ReplyDeleteGeneral announcements are made after the divine praises. As usual, the blessing proceeds the announcements.
DeleteThis is the Blessing (Closing Prayer) for Christ the King.
DeleteBow your heads and pray for God's blessing.
The kingdom of God is not yet complete. But is among us and it keeps growing when we try to live like Jesus and to bring his justice and love to all by our words and deeds and by the gift of ourselves. May God bless you for this task: the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Mass has ended, and you are sent. Therefore, let us go in peace, to love and serve the Lord in our fellowmen. Thanks be to God.
