First Reading (Acts 10: 25–26, 34–35 and 44–48)
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.
As Peter was about to enter the house, Cornelius went to him, fell on his knees and bowed low. But Peter lifted him up saying, "Stand up, for I too am a human being." Peter began to spoke to Cornelius and the group, "Truly, I realize that God does not show partiality, but in all nations he listens to everyone who fears God and does good." Peter was still speaking when the Holy Spirit came upon all who listened to the Word. And the believers of the Jewish origin who had come with Peter were amazed, "Why! God gives and pours the Holy Spirit on foreigners also!" For indeed this occurred: they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter declared, "Can we refuse to baptize with water these people who have received the Holy Spirit, just as we have?" So he had them baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. After that they asked him to remain with them for some days.
Second Reading (1 John 4: 7–10)
A reading from the first letter of Saint John.
My dear friends, let us love one another for love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Those who do not love have not known God, for God is love. How did the love of God appear among us? God sent his only Son into this world that we might have life through him. This is love: not that we loved God but that first loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Gospel (John 15: 9–17)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
Jesus states, "As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; remain in my love. You will remain in my love if you keep my commandments, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love. I have told you all this, that my own joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. This is my commandment: love one another as I have loved you. There is no greater love than this, to gives one's life for one's friends; and you are my friends if you do what I command you. I shall not call you servants any more, because servants do not know what their master is about. Instead, I have called you friends, since I have made known to you everything I learned from my Father. You did choose me; it was I who chose you and sent to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last. And everything you ask the Father in my name, he will give you. This is my command, that you love one another."

DeletePrimera Lectura (Hechos de los apóstoles 10: 25–26, 34–35 y 44–48)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura de los hechos de los apóstoles.
Cuando Pedro llegó a la casa, Cornelio salió a recibirle, y cayendo de rodillas delante de él le adoraba. Pero Pedro le levantó y le dijo: “Ponte en pie, pues yo soy un hombre lo mismo que tú.” Pedro comenzó entonces a hablar, diciendo: “Ahora entiendo que verdaderamente Dios no hace diferencia entre una persona y otra. Dios acepta a quienes le reverencian y hacen lo bueno, cualquiera que sea su nación. Aún estaba hablando Pedro, cuando el Espíritu Santo vino sobre todos los que escuchaban el mensaje. Y los creyentes procedentes del judaísmo que habían llegado con Pedro, se quedaron admirados de que el Espíritu Santo fuera dado también at los que no eran judíos, pues les oían hablar en otras lenguas y alabar a Dios. Entonces Pedro dijo: “¿Acaso puede impedirse que sean bautizadas estas personas que han recibido el Espíritu Santo igual que nosotros?” Y mandó que fueran bautizados en el nombre de Jesucristo. Después rogaron a Pedro que se quedase con ellos algunos días.
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 98) (Versículos 1–4)
La respuesta es: El Señor les ha revelado a las naciones su poder salvador.
• ¡Canten al Señor una canción nueva, pues ha hecho maravillas! ¡Ha alcanzado la victoria con su gran poder, con su santo brazo!
• El Señor ha anunciado su victoria, ha mostrado su justicia a la vista de las naciones; ha tenido presentes su amor y lealtad hacia el pueblo de Israel.
• ¡Hasta en el último rincón del mundo ha sido vista la victoria de nuestro Dios! Canten a Dios con alegría, habitantes de toda la tierra; den rienda suelta a vuestra alegría y cántenle himnos.
Segunda Lectura (1 Juan 4: 7–10)
Una lectura de la primera carta de San Juan.
Queridos hermanos, amémonos unos a otros, porque el amor procede de Dios. Todo aquel que ama es hijo de Dios y conoce a Dios. El que no ama no ha conocido a Dios, porque Dios es amor. Dios ha mostrado su amor hacia nosotros al enviar a su Hijo único al mundo para que tengamos vida por él. El amor consiste en esto: no en que nosotros hayamos amado a Dios, sino en que él nos amó a nosotros y envió a su Hijo, para que, ofreciéndose en sacrificio, nuestros pecados quedaran perdonados.
Evangelio (Juan 15: 9–17)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Juan.
Yo os amo como el Padre me ama a mí; permaneced, pues, en el amor que os tengo. Si obedecéis mis mandamientos, permaneceréis en mi amor, como yo obedezco los mandamientos de mi Padre y permanezco en su amor. “Os hablo así para que os alegréis conmigo y vuestra alegría sea completa. Mi mandamiento es este: Que os améis unos a otros como yo os he amado. No hay amor más grande que el que a uno le lleva a dar la vida por sus amigos. Vosotros sois mis amigos, si hacéis lo que os mando. Ya no os llamo siervos, porque el siervo no sabe lo que hace su amo; os llamo amigos, porque os he dado a conocer todo lo que mi Padre me ha dicho. Vosotros no me escogisteis a mí, sino que yo os he escogido a vosotros y os he encargado que vayáis y deis mucho fruto, y que ese fruto permanezca. Así el Padre os dará todo lo que le pidáis en mi nombre. Esto es, pues, lo que os mando: Que os améis unos a otros.
Bacaan Pertama (Kisah para Rasul 10: 25–26, 34–35 dan 44–48)
ReplyDeletePembacaan dari Kisah para Rasul.
Ketika Petrus masuk, datanglah Kornelius menyambutnya, dan sambil tersungkur di depan kakinya, ia menyembah Petrus. Tetapi Petrus menegakkan dia, katanya: “Bangunlah, aku hanya manusia saja.” Lalu mulailah Petrus berbicara, katanya: “Sesungguhnya aku telah mengerti, bahwa Allah tidak membedakan orang. Setiap orang dari bangsa manapun yang takut akan Dia dan yang mengamalkan kebenaran berkenan kepada-Nya.” Ketika Petrus sedang berkata demikian, turunlah Roh Kudus ke atas semua orang yang mendengarkan pemberitaan itu. Dan semua orang percaya dari golongan bersunat yang menyertai Petrus, tercengang-cengang, karena melihat, bahwa karunia Roh Kudus dicurahkan ke atas bangsa-bangsa lain juga, sebab mereka mendengar orang-orang itu berkata-kata dalam bahasa roh dan memuliakan Allah. Lalu kata Petrus: Bolehkah orang mencegah untuk membaptis orang-orang ini dengan air, sedangkan mereka telah menerima Roh Kudus sama seperti kita? Lalu ia menyuruh mereka dibaptis dalam nama Yesus Kristus. Kemudian mereka meminta Petrus, supaya ia tinggal beberapa hari lagi bersama-sama dengan mereka.
Mazmur (Mazmur 98) (Ayat 1–4)
Tanggapan adalah: Tuhan telah mengungkapkan kepada bangsa-bangsa kekuasaannya tabungan.
• Nyanyikanlah nyanyian baru bagi TUHAN, sebab Ia telah melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan yang ajaib; keselamatan telah dikerjakan kepada-Nya oleh tangan kanan-Nya, oleh lengan-Nya yang kudus.
• TUHAN telah memperkenalkan keselamatan yang dari pada-Nya, telah menyatakan keadilan-Nya di depan mata bangsa-bangsa. Ia mengingat kasih setia dan kesetiaan-Nya terhadap kaum Israel.
• Segala ujung bumi telah melihat keselamatan yang dari pada Allah kita. Bersorak-soraklah bagi TUHAN, hai seluruh bumi, bergembiralah, bersorak-sorailah dan bermazmurlah!
Bacaan Kedua (1 Yohanes 4: 7–10)
Pembacaan dari surat pertama menurut oleh Santo Yohanes.
Saudara-saudaraku yang kekasih, marilah kita saling mengasihi, sebab kasih itu berasal dari Allah; dan setiap orang yang mengasihi, lahir dari Allah dan mengenal Allah. Barangsiapa tidak mengasihi, ia tidak mengenal Allah, sebab Allah adalah kasih. Dalam hal inilah kasih Allah dinyatakan di tengah-tengah kita, yaitu bahwa Allah telah mengutus Anak-Nya yang tunggal ke dalam dunia, supaya kita hidup oleh-Nya. Inilah kasih itu: Bukan kita yang telah mengasihi Allah, tetapi Allah yang telah mengasihi kita dan yang telah mengutus Anak-Nya sebagai pendamaian bagi dosa-dosa kita.
Bacaan Injil (Yohanes 15: 9–17)
Pembacaan dari Injil kudus menurut oleh Santo Yohanes.
Yesus berkata-kata hal ini kepada murid-muridnya, “Seperti Bapa telah mengasihi Aku, demikianlah juga Aku telah mengasihi kamu; tinggallah di dalam kasih-Ku itu. Jikalau kamu menuruti perintah-Ku, kamu akan tinggal di dalam kasih-Ku, seperti Aku menuruti perintah Bapa-Ku dan tinggal di dalam kasih-Nya. Semuanya itu Kukatakan kepadamu, supaya sukacita-Ku ada di dalam kamu dan sukacitamu menjadi penuh. Inilah perintah-Ku, yaitu supaya kamu saling mengasihi, seperti Aku telah mengasihi kamu. Tidak ada kasih yang lebih besar dari pada kasih seorang yang memberikan nyawanya untuk sahabat-sahabatnya. Kamu adalah sahabat-Ku, jikalau kamu berbuat apa yang Kuperintahkan kepadamu. Aku tidak menyebut kamu lagi hamba, sebab hamba tidak tahu, apa yang diperbuat oleh tuannya, tetapi Aku menyebut kamu sahabat, karena Aku telah memberitahukan kepada kamu segala sesuatu yang telah Kudengar dari Bapa-Ku. Bukan kamu yang memilih Aku, tetapi Akulah yang memilih kamu. Dan Aku telah menetapkan kamu, supaya kamu pergi dan menghasilkan buah dan buahmu itu tetap, supaya apa yang kamu minta kepada Bapa dalam nama-Ku, diberikan-Nya kepadamu. Inilah perintah-Ku kepadamu: Kasihilah seorang akan yang lain."
Pangunang pagbabasa (Ang mga Gawa ng mga Apostol 10: 25–26, 34–35 at 44–48)
ReplyDeleteAng pagbabasa sa mga Gawa ng mga Apostol.
Sinalubong ni Cornelio si Pedro, nagpatirapa sa harap nito at sinamba. Ngunit sinabi ni Pedro, "Tumayo kayo, ako'y tao ring tulad ninyo." At nagsalita si Pedro, "Ngayon ko lubusang naunawaan na talagang walang itinatangi ang Diyos. Nalulugod siya sa sinumang may takot sa kanya at gumagawa ng matuwid, kahit taga-saan mang bansa. Nagsasalita pa si Pedro, nang bumaba ang Espiritu Santo sa lahat ng mga nakikinig. Namangha ang mga mananampalatayang Judio na kasama ni Pedro sapagkat ang Espiritu Santo ay ipinagkaloob din sa mga Hentil. Narinig nila ang mga ito na nagsasalita sa iba't ibang wika at nagpupuri sa Diyos. Kaya't sinabi ni Pedro, "Tulad natin, sila'y pinagkalooban din ng Espiritu Santo. Sino ang makakapagbawal na bautismuhan sila sa tubig?" At iniutos niyang bautismuhan sila sa pangalan ni Jesu-Cristo. Pagkatapos, hiniling nila kay Pedro na manatili pa roon nang ilang araw.
Pangalawang pagbabasa (1 Juan 4: 7–10)
Ang pagbabasa sa unang sulat ni Juan.
Mga minamahal, mag-ibigan tayo sapagkat mula sa Diyos ang pag-ibig. Ang bawat umiibig ay anak ng Diyos at kumikilala sa Diyos. Ang hindi umiibig ay hindi kumikilala sa Diyos, sapagkat ang Diyos ay pag-ibig. Inihayag ng Diyos ang kanyang pag-ibig sa atin nang isugo niya sa mundo ang kanyang kaisa-isang Anak upang magkaroon tayo ng buhay sa pamamagitan niya. Ito ang pag-ibig: hindi sa inibig natin ang Diyos, kundi tayo ang inibig niya at isinugo niya ang kanyang Anak upang maging handog para mapatawad ang ating mga kasalanan.
Ebanghelyo (Juan 15: 9–17)
Ang magandang balita ayon kay San Juan.
Kung paanong inibig ako ng Ama, gayundin naman, iniibig ko kayo; manatili kayo sa aking pag-ibig. Kung tinutupad ninyo ang aking mga utos, mananatili kayo sa aking pag-ibig; tulad ko, tinutupad ko ang mga utos ng aking Ama at ako'y nananatili sa kanyang pag-ibig. Sinabi ko sa inyo ang mga bagay na ito upang mapasainyo ang kagalakan ko at nang sa gayon, malubos ang inyong kagalakan. Ito ang aking utos: magmahalan kayo gaya ng pagmamahal ko sa inyo. Walang pag-ibig na hihigit pa kaysa pag-ibig ng isang taong nag-aalay ng kanyang buhay para sa kanyang mga kaibigan. Kayo'y mga kaibigan ko kung tinutupad ninyo ang aking mga utos. Hindi ko na kayo itinuturing na mga alipin, sapagkat hindi alam ng alipin ang ginagawa ng kanyang panginoon. Sa halip, itinuring ko kayong mga kaibigan, sapagkat sinabi ko sa inyo ang lahat ng narinig ko sa aking Ama. Hindi ninyo ako pinili, kayo ang pinili. Pinili ko kayo upang kayo'y magbunga at manatili ang inyong bunga upang ang anumang hingin ninyo sa Ama, sa aking pangalan, ay ibibigay sa inyo. Ito nga ang utos ko sa inyo: magmahalan kayo.
Proclaim a joyful sound and let it be heard; proclaim to the ends of the earth: the Lord has freed his people, alleluia.
