First Reading (Revelation 7: 2–4 and 9–14)
A reading from the book of Revelation.
I, John, saw another angel ascending from the sunrise, carrying the seal of the living God, and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels empowered to harm the earth and the sea, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads." Then I heard the number of those marked with the seal: a hundred and forty-four thousand from all the tribes of the people in Israel. After this I saw a great crowd, impossible to count, from every nation, race, people and tongue, standing before the throne and the Lamb, clothed in white, with palm branches in their hands, and they cried out with a loud voices, "Who saves but our God who sits on the throne of the Lamb?" All the angels were around the throne, the elders and the four living creatures; they then bowed before the throne with their faces to the ground to worship God. They stated, "Amen. Praise, glory, wisdom, thanks, honor, power, and strength to our God forever and ever. Amen!" At that moment, one of the elders spoke up and asked me, "Who are these people clothed in white, and where did they come from?" I answered, "Sir, it is you who know this." The elder replied, "They are those who have come out of the great persecution; they have washed and made their clothes white in the blood of the Lamb."
Second Reading (1 John 3: 1–3)
A reading from the first letter of Saint John.
Beloved: See what singular love the Father has for us: we are called children of God, and we really are. This is why the world does not know us, because it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children and what we shall be has not yet been shown. Yet when he appears in his glory, we know that we shall be like him, for then we shall see him as he is. All who have such a hope try to be pure as he is pure.
Gospel (Matthew 5: 1–12a)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain. he sat down and his disciples gathered around him. The he spoke and began to teach them: "Fortunate are those who have the spirit of the poor, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Fortunate are those who mourn, and they shall be comforted. Fortunate are the gentle, they shall possess the land. Fortunate are those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be satisfied. Fortunate are the merciful, for they shall search for mercy. Fortunate are those with a pure heart, for they shall see God. Fortunate are those who work for peace, they shall be called children of God. Fortunate are those who are persecuted for the cause of justice, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Fortunate are you, when people insult you and persecute you and speak all kinds of evil against you because you are my followers. Be glad and joyful, for a great reward is kept for you in God."

For masses that do not celebrate the Feast of All Saints Day will read the readings stipulated for the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time.
ReplyDeleteThe readings stipulated for the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time are below.
DeleteFirst Reading (Deuteronomy 6: 2–6)
DeleteA reading from the book of Deuteronomy.
Fear the Lord, observe his commandments all the days of your life and his norms that I teach you today. So also for your children and your children's children that they may live long. Listen, then, Israel, observe these commandments and put them into practice. If you do this, you will be well and you will multiply in this land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, promised you. Listen, Israel: the Lord, our God, is One God. And you shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength. Engrave on your heart the commandments that I pass on to you today.
Second Reading (Hebrews 7: 23–28)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Hebrews.
Brothers and sisters: The former priests were many since, as mortal men, they could not remain in office. But Jesus remains forever and the priesthood shall not be taken from him. Consequently he is able to save for all time those who approach God through him. He always lives to intercede on their behalf. It was fitting that our High Priest be holy, undefiled, set apart from sinners and exalted above the heavens; a priest who does not first need to offer sacrifice for himself before offering for the sins of the people, as high priests do. He offered himself in sacrifice once and for all. And whereas the Law elected weak men as high priests, now, after the Law, the word of God with an oath appointed the Son, made perfect forever.
Gospel (Mark 12: 28–34)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark.
A teacher of the Law had been listening to this discussion and admired how Jesus answered them. So he came up and asked him, "Which commandment is the first of all?" Jesus answered, "The first is: Hear, Israel! The Lord, our God, is One Lord; and you shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. And after this comes another one: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these two." The teacher of the Law stated to him, "Well spoken, Master; you are right when you say that he is one and there is no other. To love him with all our heart, with all our understanding and with all our strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves is more important than any burnt offering or sacrifice." Jesus approved this answer and stated, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." But after that, no one dared to ask him any more questions.
Cycle B is used for this day if the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time is celebrated.

DeleteResponsorial Psalm (Psalm 18) (Verses 2–4)
DeleteThe response is: I love you, Lord, my strength.
I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer and my God.

Primera Lectura (Deuteronomio 6: 2–6)
DeleteUna lectura del libro de Deuteronomio.
Temerás a Yahvé, tu Dios, y guardarás todos los días de tu vida sus mandamientos y sus normas que te enseño hoy. Que los guarden tus hijos y los hijos de tus hijos, para que vivan largos años. Escucha, pues, Israel, y cuida de poner en práctica lo que ha de traerte felicidad y prosperidad en esta tierra que mana leche y miel, como lo prometió Yahvé, Dios de tus padres. Escucha, Israel: Yahvé, nuestro Dios, es Yahvé-único. Y tú amarás a Yahvé, tu Dios, con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con todas tus fuerzas. Graba en tu corazón los mandamientos que yo te entrego hoy.
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 18) (Versículos 2–4)
La respuesta es: Te amo, Señor, mi fuerza.
• Dijo: Yo te amo, Señor, mi fuerza, Señor, mi Roca, mi fortaleza y mi libertador, mi Dios.
• Es el peñasco en que me refugio, mi escudo, mi fuerza salvadora, mi baluarte. Invoqué al Señor, que es digno de alabanza y quedé a salvo de mis enemigos.
Segunda Lectura (Hebreos 7: 23–28)
Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los Hebreos.
Los sacerdotes anteriores se sucedían el uno al otro porque, siendo mortales, no podían permanecer. Jesús, en cambio, permanece para siempre y no se le quitará el sacerdocio. Por eso es capaz de salvar de una vez a los que por su medio se acercan a Dios. El sigue viviendo e intercediendo en favor de ellos. Así había de ser nuestro sumo sacerdote: santo, sin ningún defecto ni pecado, apartado del mundo de los pecadores y elevado por encima de los cielos. A diferencia de los sumos sacerdotes, él no tiene necesidad de ofrecer diariamente sacrificios, primero por sus pecados, y luego por los del pueblo. Y para el pueblo no lo hizo sino una sola vez ofreciéndose a sí mismo. Así, pues, los sumos sacerdotes que establece la Ley demuestran sus limitaciones, mientras que ahora, después de la Ley, Dios habla y pronuncia un juramento para establecer al Hijo eternamente perfecto.
Evangelio (Marcos 18: 28–34)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según San Marcos.
Entonces se adelantó un maestro de la Ley. Había escuchado la discusión y estaba admirado de cómo Jesús les había contestado. Entonces le preguntó: “¿Qué mandamiento es el primero de todos?” Jesús le contestó: “El primer mandamiento es: Escucha, Israel: El Señor nuestro Dios es un único Señor. Amarás al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma, con toda tu inteligencia y con todas tus fuerzas. Y después viene este otro: Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo. No hay ningún mandamiento más importante que éstos.” El maestro de la Ley le contestó: “Has hablado muy bien, Maestro; tienes razón cuando dices que el Señor es único y que no hay otro fuera de él, y que amarlo con todo el corazón, con toda la inteligencia y con todas las fuerzas y amar al prójimo como a sí mismo vale más que todas las víctimas y sacrificios.” Jesús vio que ésta era respuesta sabia y le dijo: “No estás lejos del Reino de Dios.” Y después de esto, nadie más se atrevió a hacerle nuevas preguntas.
Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 24) (Verses 1–6)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
The earth and its fullness belong to the Lord, the world and all that dwell in it. He has founded it upon the ocean and set it firmly upon the waters.
Who will ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who will stand in his holy place? Those with clean hands and pure heart, who desire not what is vain, and never swear to a lie.
They shall receive blessings from the Lord, a reward from God, their savior. Such are the people who seek him, who see the face of Jacob's God.

Luego vi a otro ángel que subía desde el oriente y llevaba el sello del Dios vivo. Gritó con voz poderosa a los cuatro ángeles autorizados para causar daño a la tierra y al mar: “No hagan daño a la tierra ni al mar ni a los árboles hasta que marquemos con el sello la frente de los servidores de nuestro Dios.” Entonces oí el número de los marcados con el sello: ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil, de todas las tribus de los hijos de Israel: Después de esto vi un gentío inmenso, imposible de contar, de toda nación y raza, pueblo y lengua, que estaban de pie delante del trono y del Cordero, vestidos con vestiduras blancas y con palmas en sus manos, y gritaban con voz poderosa: “¿Quién salva fuera de nuestro Dios, que se sienta en el trono, y del Cordero?” Todos los ángeles estaban de pie alrededor del trono, de los Ancianos y de los cuatro Seres Vivientes; se postraron ante el trono rostro en tierra y adoraron a Dios, diciendo: ¡Amén! Alabanza, gloria, sabiduría, acción de gracias, honor, poder y fuerza a nuestro Dios por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. Uno de los Ancianos tomó la palabra y me dijo: “Esos que están vestidos con vestiduras blancas, ¿quiénes son y de dónde vienen?” Yo contesté: “Señor, tú lo sabes.” El Anciano me replicó: “Esos son los que vienen de la gran persecución; han lavado y blanqueado sus vestiduras con la sangre del Cordero.

DeleteLa respuesta es: Señor, ésta es la gente que anhela ver tu cara.
• Del Señor es la tierra y todo lo que hay en ella, el mundo y todos sus habitantes porque él la fundó sobre los mares, él la afirmó sobre las corrientes del océano.
• ¿Quién podrá subir a la Montaña del Señor y permanecer en su recinto sagrado? El que tiene las manos limpias y puro el corazón; el que no rinde culto a los ídolos ni jura falsamente.
• Él recibirá la bendición del Señor, la recompensa de Dios, su Salvador. Así son los que buscan al Señor, los que buscan tu rostro, Dios de Jacob.
Segunda Lectura (1 Juan 3: 1–3)
Una lectura de la primera carta de San Juan.
Miren qué amor tan singular nos ha tenido el Padre: que no sólo nos llamamos hijos de Dios, sino que lo somos. Por eso el mundo no nos conoce, porque no lo conoció a él. Amados, a pesar de que ya somos hijos de Dios, no se ha manifestado todavía lo que seremos; pero sabemos que cuando él aparezca en su gloria, seremos semejantes a él, porque lo veremos tal como es. Y si es esto lo que esperamos de él, querremos ser santos como él es santo.
Evangelio (Mateo 5: 1–12ª)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Mateo.
Jesús, al ver toda aquella muchedumbre, subió al monte. Se sentó y sus discípulos se reunieron a su alrededor. Entonces comenzó a hablar y les enseñaba diciendo: “Felices los que tienen el espíritu del pobre, porque de ellos es el Reino de los Cielos. Felices los que lloran, porque recibirán consuelo. Felices los pacientes, porque recibirán la tierra en herencia. Felices los que tienen hambre y sed de justicia, porque serán saciados. Felices los compasivos, porque obtendrán misericordia. Felices los de corazón limpio, porque verán a Dios. Felices los que trabajan por la paz, porque serán reconocidos como hijos de Dios. Felices los que son perseguidos por causa del bien, porque de ellos es el Reino de los Cielos. Felices ustedes, cuando por causa mía los insulten, los persigan y les levanten toda clase de calumnias. Alégrense y muéstrense contentos, porque será grande la recompensa que recibirán en el cielo.”
