First Reading (Acts 3: 13–19)
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.
Peter stated this to the Israelites, "The God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our ancestors has glorified his servant Jesus whom you handed over to death and denied before Pilate, when even Pilate had decided to release him. You rejected the Holy and Just One, and you insisted that a murderer be released to you. You killed the Master of life, but God raised him from the dead and we are witnesses to this. It is his Name, and faith in his Name, that has healed this man whom you see and recognize. The faith which comes through Jesus has given him wholeness in the presence of all of you. Yet I know that you acted out of ignorance, as did your leaders. God has fulfilled in this way what he had foretold through all the prophets, that his Messiah would suffer. Repent, then, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out.
Second Reading (1 John 2: 1–5)
A reading from the first letter of Saint John.
My little children, I write to you that you may not sin. But if anyone sins, we have an intercessor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Just One. He is the sacrificial victim for our sins and the sins of the whole world. How can we know that we know him? If we fulfill his commands. If you state, "I know him," but do not fulfill his commands, you are a liar and the truth is not in you. But you keep his word, God's love is made complete in you. This is how we know that we are in him.
Gospel (Luke 24: 35–48)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
Then the two told what had happened on the road and how Jesus made himself known when he broke bread with them. As they went on talking about this, Jesus himself stood in their midst. And he stated to them, "Peace to you." In their panic and fright they thought they were seeing a ghost, but he stated to them, "Why are you upset and why do such ideas cross your mind? Look at my hands and feet and see that it is I myself. Touch me and see for yourselves that a ghost has no flesh and bones as I have." As he stated this, he showed his hands and feet. In their joy they did not dare to believe and were still astonished. So he stated to them, "Have you anything to eat?" and they gave him a piece of broiled fish. He took it and ate it before them. Then Jesus stated to them, "Remember the words I spoke to you when I was still with you: Everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms had to be fulfilled." Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. And he went on, "You see what was written: the Messiah had to suffer, and on the third day he rose from the dead. Then repentance and forgiveness in his name would be proclaimed to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. Now you shall be witness to this."

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 4) (Verses 2, 4, and 7–9)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: Lord, let your face shine on us.
Answer when I call, O God, my justice! When I was in distress, you gave me solace. Have compassion and hear my plea.
But you must know that the Lord has shown his kindness to me. When I call to him, he hears me.
Many ask, "Who will gave us a happy time? Would that favor shine upon us!" You, O Lord, have put joy in my heart; more than by giving me wine and food.
I lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me feel safe and secure.
This responsorial psalm is taken from the Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible.
DeletePrimera Lectura (Hechos de los apóstoles 3: 13–19)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura de los Hechos de los apóstoles.
El Dios de Abraham, de Isaac y de Jacob, el Dios de nuestros antepasados, ha dado el más alto honor a su siervo Jesús, a quien vosotros entregasteis a las autoridades y a quien no permitisteis que Pilato pusiera en libertad. En vez de pedir la libertad de aquel que era santo y justo, pedisteis que se soltara a un criminal. Y así matasteis al que es autor de la vida. Pero Dios lo resucitó, y de ello nosotros somos testigos. Lo que ha hecho cobrar fuerzas a este hombre que veis y conocéis, es la fe en el nombre de Jesús. Esa fe en Jesús es la que le ha hecho sanar completamente, como todos podéis ver. “Ya sé, hermanos, que cuando vosotros y vuestros jefes matasteis a Jesús, lo hicisteis sin saber en realidad lo que estabais haciendo. Pero Dios cumplió de este modo lo que antes había anunciado por medio de todos sus profetas: que su Mesías tenía que morir. Por eso, volveos a Dios y convertíos, para que él borre vuestros pecados.
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 4) (Versículos 2, 4 y 7–9)
La respuesta es: Señor, que tu rostro se brilla en nosotros.
• Dios y defensor mío, ¡contéstame cuando te llame! Tú, que en mi angustia me diste alivio, ¡ten compasión de mí y escucha mi oración!
• Sabed que el Señor prefiere al hombre que le es fiel; sabed que el Señor me escucha cuando le llamo.
• Muchos dicen: “¿Quién nos mostrará la dicha?” ¡Señor, míranos con buenos ojos! Tú has puesto en mi corazón más alegría que en quienes tienen trigo y vino en abundancia.
• Yo me acuesto tranquilo y me duermo en seguida, pues tú, Señor, me haces vivir confiado.
Segunda Lectura (1 Juan 2: 1–5)
Una lectura de la primera carta de San Juan.
Hijitos míos, os escribo estas cosas para que no cometáis pecado. Aunque si alguno comete pecado, tenemos ante el Padre un abogado, que es Jesucristo el Justo. Jesucristo se ofreció en sacrificio para que nuestros pecados sean perdonados; y no solo los nuestros sino los de todo el mundo. Si obedecemos los mandamientos de Dios, podemos estar seguros de que hemos llegado a conocerle. Pero quien dice: “Yo le conozco” y no obedece sus mandamientos, es un mentiroso y no hay verdad en él. En cambio, en el que guarda su palabra se ha perfeccionado verdaderamente el amor de Dios; de ese modo sabemos que estamos unidos a él.
Evangelio (Lucas 24: 35–48)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Lucas.
Entonces ellos contaron lo que les había pasado en el camino, y cómo reconocieron a Jesús al partir el pan. Todavía estaban hablando de estas cosas, cuando Jesús se puso en medio de ellos y los saludó diciendo: Paz a vosotros. Ellos, sobresaltados y muy asustados, pensaron que estaban viendo un espíritu. Pero Jesús les dijo: ¿Por qué estáis tan asustados y por qué tenéis esas dudas en vuestro corazón? Ved mis manos y mis pies: ¡soy yo mismo! Tocadme y mirad: un espíritu no tiene carne ni huesos como veis que yo tengo. Al decirles esto, les mostró las manos y los pies. Pero como ellos no acababan de creerlo, a causa de la alegría y el asombro que sentían, Jesús les preguntó: “¿Tenéis aquí algo de comer?” Le dieron un trozo de pescado asado, y él lo tomó y lo comió en su presencia. Luego les dijo: A esto me refería cuando, estando aún con vosotros, os anuncié que todo lo que está escrito acerca de mí en la ley de Moisés, en los libros de los profetas y en los salmos, tenía que cumplirse. Entonces les abrió la mente para que comprendieran las Escrituras, y les dijo: Está escrito que el Mesías tenía que morir y que resucitaría al tercer día; y que en su nombre, y comenzando desde Jerusalén, hay que anunciar a todas las naciones que se vuelvan a Dios, para que él les perdone sus pecados. Vosotros sois testigos de estas cosas.
Bacaan Pertama (Kisah para Rasul 3: 13–19)
ReplyDeletePembacaan dari Kisah para Rasul.
Allah Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub, Allah nenek moyang kita telah memuliakan Hamba-Nya, yaitu Yesus yang kamu serahkan dan tolak di depan Pilatus, walaupun Pilatus berpendapat, bahwa Ia harus dilepaskan. Tetapi kamu telah menolak Yang Kudus dan Benar, serta menghendaki seorang pembunuh sebagai hadiahmu. Demikianlah Ia, Pemimpin kepada hidup, telah kamu bunuh, tetapi Allah telah membangkitkan Dia dari antara orang mati; dan tentang hal itu kami adalah saksi. Dan karena kepercayaan dalam Nama Yesus, maka Nama itu telah menguatkan orang yang kamu lihat dan kamu kenal ini; dan kepercayaan itu telah memberi kesembuhan kepada orang ini di depan kamu semua. Hai saudara-saudara, aku tahu bahwa kamu telah berbuat demikian karena ketidaktahuan, sama seperti semua pemimpin kamu. Tetapi dengan jalan demikian Allah telah menggenapi apa yang telah difirmankan-Nya dahulu dengan perantaraan nabi-nabi-Nya, yaitu bahwa Mesias yang diutus-Nya harus menderita. Karena itu sadarlah dan bertobatlah, supaya dosamu dihapuskan.
Mazmur (Mazmur 4) (Ayat 2, 4 dan 7–9)
Tanggapan adalah: Tuhan, biarkan wajahmu bersinar pada kami.
• Apabila aku berseru, jawablah aku, ya Allah, yang membenarkan aku. Di dalam kesesakan Engkau memberi kelegaan kepadaku. Kasihanilah aku dan dengarkanlah doaku!
• Ketahuilah, bahwa TUHAN telah memilih bagi-Nya seorang yang dikasihi-Nya; TUHAN mendengarkan, apabila aku berseru kepada-Nya.
• Banyak orang berkata: "Siapa yang akan memperlihatkan yang baik kepada kita?" Biarlah cahaya wajah-Mu menyinari kami, ya TUHAN! Engkau telah memberikan sukacita kepadaku, lebih banyak dari pada mereka ketika mereka kelimpahan gandum dan anggur.
• Dengan tenteram aku mau membaringkan diri, lalu segera tidur, sebab hanya Engkaulah, ya TUHAN, yang membiarkan aku diam dengan aman.
Bacaan Kedua (1 Yohanes 2: 1–5)
Pembacaan dari surat pertama dari Santo Yohanes.
Anak-anakku, hal-hal ini kutuliskan kepada kamu, supaya kamu jangan berbuat dosa, namun jika seorang berbuat dosa, kita mempunyai seorang pengantara pada Bapa, yaitu Yesus Kristus, yang adil. Dan Ia adalah pendamaian untuk segala dosa kita, dan bukan untuk dosa kita saja, tetapi juga untuk dosa seluruh dunia. Dan inilah tandanya, bahwa kita mengenal Allah, yaitu jikalau kita menuruti perintah-perintah-Nya. Barangsiapa berkata: Aku mengenal Dia, tetapi ia tidak menuruti perintah-Nya, ia adalah seorang pendusta dan di dalamnya tidak ada kebenaran. Tetapi barangsiapa menuruti firman-Nya, di dalam orang itu sungguh sudah sempurna kasih Allah; dengan itulah kita ketahui, bahwa kita ada di dalam Dia.
Bacaan Injil (Lukas 24: 35–48)
DeletePembacaan dari Injil kudus menurut Santo Lukas.
Lalu kedua orang itupun menceriterakan apa yang terjadi di tengah jalan dan bagaimana mereka mengenal Dia pada waktu Ia memecah-mecahkan roti. Dan sementara mereka bercakap-cakap tentang hal-hal itu, Yesus tiba-tiba berdiri di tengah-tengah mereka dan berkata kepada mereka: "Damai sejahtera bagi kamu!" Mereka terkejut dan takut dan menyangka bahwa mereka melihat hantu. Akan tetapi Ia berkata kepada mereka: "Mengapa kamu terkejut dan apa sebabnya timbul keragu-raguan di dalam hati kamu? Lihatlah tangan-Ku dan kaki-Ku: Aku sendirilah ini; rabalah Aku dan lihatlah, karena hantu tidak ada daging dan tulangnya, seperti yang kamu lihat ada pada-Ku." Sambil berkata demikian, Ia memperlihatkan tangan dan kaki-Nya kepada mereka. Dan ketika mereka belum percaya karena girangnya dan masih heran, berkatalah Ia kepada mereka: "Adakah padamu makanan di sini?" Lalu mereka memberikan kepada-Nya sepotong ikan goreng. Ia mengambilnya dan memakannya di depan mata mereka. Ia berkata kepada mereka: "Inilah perkataan-Ku, yang telah Kukatakan kepadamu ketika Aku masih bersama-sama dengan kamu, yakni bahwa harus digenapi semua yang ada tertulis tentang Aku dalam kitab Taurat Musa dan kitab nabi-nabi dan kitab Mazmur." Lalu Ia membuka pikiran mereka, sehingga mereka mengerti Kitab Suci. Kata-Nya kepada mereka: “Ada tertulis demikian: Mesias harus menderita dan bangkit dari antara orang mati pada hari yang ketiga, dan lagi: dalam nama-Nya berita tentang pertobatan dan pengampunan dosa harus disampaikan kepada segala bangsa, mulai dari Yerusalem. Kamu adalah saksi dari semuanya ini.”
