First Reading (Sirach 3: 17–18, 20, and 28–30)
A reading from the book of Sirach.
My son, conduct your affairs with discretion and you will be loved by those who are acceptable to God. The greater you are, the more you should humble yourself and thus you will find favor with God. Do not seek what is beyond your powers nor search into what is beyond your ability. The wise man reflects on proverbs. What the wise man desires is an attentive ear. As water extinguishes the burning flames, almsgiving obtains pardon for sins.
Second Reading (Hebrews 12: 18–19 and 22–24a)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Hebrews.
Brothers and sisters: Remember your initiation. There was no material presence nor heat of a blazing fire, darkness and gloom and storms...blasts of trumpets or such a voice that the people pleaded that no further word be spoken. But you came near to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem with its innumerable angels. You have come to the solemn feast, the assemble of the first-born of God, whose names are written in heaven. There is God, Judge of all, with the spirits of the upright brought to perfection. There is Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant.
Gospel (Luke 14: 1 and 7–14)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
One sabbath Jesus had gone to eat a meal in the house of a leading Pharisee, and he was carefully watched. Jesus then told a parable to the guests, for he had noticed how they tried to take the places of honor. And he said, "When you are invited to a wedding party, do not choose the best seat. It may happen that someone more important than you has been invited, and your host, who invited both of you, will come and say to you: 'Please give this person your place.' What shame is yours when you take the lowest seat!' Whenever you are invited, go rather to the lowest seat, so that your host may come and say to you: 'Friend, you must come up higher.' And this will be a great honor for you in the presence of all the other guests. For whoever makes himself out to be great will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be raised." Jesus additionally addressed the man who had invited him and stated, "When you give a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends, or your brothers and relatives and wealthy neighbors. For surely they will also invite you in return and you will be repaid. When you give a feast, invite instead the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind. Fortunate are you then, because they cannot repay you; you will be repaid at the Resurrection of the upright."

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 68) (Verses 4, 5b, 6, 7a, and 10–11)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: God, in your goodness, you have made a home for the poor.
Let the righteous be glad and exult before God; let them sing to God and shout for joy. Rejoice in his presence, the Lord is his name.
Father of orphans and protector of widows — such is our God in his holy dwelling. He gives shelter to the homeless, and sets the prisoners free.
Then you gave a rain of blessing to comfort your weary children. Your people found a dwelling and in your mercy, O God, you provided for the needy.
This responsorial psalm is taken from the Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible.
DeletePrimera Lectura (Eclesiástico 3: 17–18, 20, y 28–29)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro del Eclesiástico.
Hijo mío, realiza tus obras con modestia y serás amado por los que agradan a Dios. Cuanto más grande seas, más humilde debes ser, y así obtendrás el favor del Señor, porque el poder del Señor es grande y él es glorificado por los humildes. No hay remedio para el mal del orgulloso, porque una planta maligna ha echado raíces en él. El corazón inteligente medita los proverbios y el sabio desea tener un oído atento.
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 68) (Versículos 4, 5b, 6, 7ª, y 10–11)
La respuesta es: Dios, en tu bondad, has hecho una casa para los pobres.
• Los justos se regocijan, gritan de gozo delante de Dios y se llenan de alegría. ¡Canten a Dios, entonen un himno a su Nombre!
• Dios en su santa Morada es padre de los huérfanos y defensor de las viudas — él instala en un hogar a los solitarios y hace salir con felicidad a los cautivos.
• Tú derramaste una lluvia generosa, Señor: tu herencia estaba exhausta y tú la reconfortaste; allí se estableció tu familia, y tú, Señor, la afianzarás por tu bondad para con el pobre.
Segunda Lectura (hebreos 12: 18–19 y 22–24ª)
Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los hebreos.
Recuerden su iniciación. No hubo aquel fuego físico que ardía junto a la nube oscura y la tempestad, con el sonido de trompetas y una voz tan potente que los hijos de Israel suplicaron que no se les hablara más. Ustedes, en cambio, se han acercado al monte de Sión, a la ciudad del Dios vivo, a la Jerusalén celestial con sus innumerables ángeles, a la asamblea en fiesta de los primeros ciudadanos del cielo; a Dios, juez universal, al que rodean los espíritus de los justos que ya alcanzaron su perfección; a Jesús, el mediador de la nueva alianza.
Evangelio (Lucas 14: 1 y 7–14)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según San Lucas.
Un sábado, Jesús entró a comer en casa de uno de los principales fariseos. Ellos lo observaban atentamente. Y al notar cómo los invitados buscaban los primeros puestos, les dijo esta parábola: “Si te invitan a un banquete de bodas, no te coloques en el primer lugar, porque puede suceder que haya sido invitada otra persona más importante que tú, y cuando llegue el que los invitó a los dos, tenga que decirte: ‘Déjale el sitio’, y así, lleno de vergüenza, tengas que ponerte en el último lugar. Al contrario, cuando te inviten, ve a colocarte en el último sitio, de manera que cuando llegue el que te invitó, te diga: ‘Amigo, acércate más’, y así quedarás bien delante de todos los invitados. Porque todo el que ensalza será humillado, y el que se humilla será ensalzado. Al contrario, cuando des un banquete, invita a los pobres, a los lisiados, a los paralíticos, a los ciegos. ¡Feliz de ti, porque ellos no tienen cómo retribuirte, y así tendrás tu recompensa en la resurrección de los justos!”

Unang pagbabasa (Ecclesiastico 3: 17–18, 20, at 28–29)
ReplyDeleteAng pagbabasa sa aklat ni Ecclesiastico.
Anak, maging mapagpakumbaba ka sa pagtupad ng tungkulin, at mamahalin ka ng mga malapit sa Diyos. Habang ika'y dumadakila, lalo ka namang magpakumbaba. Sapagkat kahanga-hanga ang kapangyarihan ng Panginoon at dinadakila siya ng mga nagpapakumbaba. Walang katapusan ang kapighatian ng palalo; nag-ugat na ang kasamaan sa kanyang puso. Pinahahalagahan ng matalino ang mga talinghaga; nakikinig ang marunong pagkat nais niyang matuto.
Pangalawang pagbabasa (Mga Hebreo 12: 18–19 at 22–24A)
Ang pagbabasa sa sulat ni San Pablo sa mga Hebreo.
Hindi kayo lumapit sa isang bundok na nakikita, gaya ng mga Israelita sa bundok ng Sinai. Ito'y may apoy na nagliliyab, nababalutan ng dilim at may malakas na hangin. Nakarinig sila roon ng tunog ng trumpeta at ng isang tinig. Nang ang tinig na iyon ay marinig ng mga tao, nakiusap silang huwag na itong magsalita sa kanila. Sa halip, ang nilapitan ninyo ay ang Bundok ng Zion at ang lungsod ng Diyos na buháy, ang Jerusalem sa langit, na kinaroroonan ng di mabilang na anghel. Ang dinaluhan ninyo ay masayang pagtitipon ng mga panganay na anak, na ang mga pangalan ay nakatala sa langit. Ang nilapitan ninyo ay ang Diyos na hukom ng lahat, at ang mga espiritu ng mga taong ginawang ganap. Nilapitan ninyo si Jesus, ang tagapamagitan ng bagong tipan.
Ebanghelyo (Lucas 14: 1 at 7–14)
Ang magandang balita ayon kay San Lucas.
Isang Araw ng Pamamahinga, si Jesus ay inanyayahang kumain sa bahay ng isang pinuno ng mga Pariseo, at binabantayan nilang mabuti ang kanyang mga kilos. Napansin ni Jesus na pinipili ng ilang mga panauhin ang mga upuang pandangal. Kaya't sinabi niya ang talinghagang ito sa kanila. “Kapag inanyayahan ka sa isang kasalan, huwag kang uupo agad sa upuang pandangal. Baka may inanyayahang mas kilala kaysa sa iyo. Baka lapitan ka ng nag-anyaya sa inyong dalawa at sabihin sa iyo, ‘Maaari bang ibigay mo ang upuang iyan sa taong ito?’ Sa gayon, mapapahiya ka at doon ka uupo sa pinakaabang upuan. Mabuti pa, kapag naanyayahan ka, doon ka muna maupo sa pinakaabang upuan. Kapag lumapit sa iyo ang nag-anyaya at kanyang sinabi, ‘Kaibigan, dito ka sa kabisera,’ mapaparangalan ka sa harap ng lahat ng mga panauhin. Sapagkat ang nagmamataas ay ibababa, at ang nagpapakumbaba ay itataas.” Sinabi naman ni Jesus sa nag-anyaya sa kanya, “Kapag naghahanda ka ng isang salu-salo, huwag ang iyong mga kaibigan, mga kapatid, mga kamag-anak o mayayamang kapitbahay ang aanyayahan mo, dahil aanyayahan ka rin nila at sa gayon ay susuklian ang iyong ginawa. Subalit kapag ikaw ay maghahanda, anyayahan mo ang mga mahihirap, mga lumpo, mga pilay, at mga bulag. Kapag ganito ang ginawa mo, pagpapalain ka, dahil hindi man nila masuklian ang ginawa mo, ang Diyos ang magbibigay sa iyo ng gantimpala sa muling pagkabuhay ng mga matuwid.”

あなたがたは、イスラエルの民たちがシナイ山で神から律法（十戒）を授けられた時のように、恐怖、燃えさかる火、黒雲、暗闇、たけり狂う嵐に直面しているわけではありません。そこでは、すさまじいラッパの音が響き、また神の声がとどろきました。それを聞いた人たちは、あまりの恐ろしさに、それ以上何もお語りにならないでくださいと、必死に願いました。しかしあなたがたは、シオンの山に近づいているのです。そこは生ける神の都、天にあるエルサレムであり、無数の天使たちが楽しげに集う所です。またあなたがたは、天に登録されている人たちの教会、すべてをさばく神、すでに完全なものとされて天にいる、救われた者たちの霊に近づいているのです。またさらにあなたがたは、新しい契約をもたらしたイエスご自身と、復讐を叫ぶアベルの血ではなく、恵みに満ちた罪の赦しを与える血に近づいているのです。

これはルカの福音書です。
ある安息日のこと、イエスはパリサイ派の指導者の家に入られました。パリサイ人たちは、イエスがその場にいた水腫を患っている男をどうするかを、息をこらし、目をさらのようにして見ていました。イエスは、招かれた人たちが、少しでも上席に座ろうとしているのに気づいて、こう忠告されました。「婚礼に招かれた時、いつでも上席に座ろうとしてはいけません。あなたよりもっと名誉ある人が招かれていた場合のことを考えてごらんなさい。その人が姿を見せたら、主人は、『すみませんが、こちらの方と替わっていただけませんか』と申し出るでしょう。そうなると、あなたは赤恥をかいた上に、末席に着かなければならないのです。招かれた時には、まず末席に座りなさい。そうすれば、主人が来て、『どうぞご遠慮なさらないで、もっと上席にお進みください』と勧めるでしょう。あなたは居並ぶ客の前で面目を施すことになるのです。自分から名誉を受けようとする人は低くされ、自分を低くする人は名誉を受けるのです。」それからイエスは、ご自分を招いてくれた人にも話されました。「食事をふるまう時には、友人や兄弟、親類、それにお金持ちの知人などを招かないようにしなさい。彼らはお返しに、あなたを招くからです。むしろ、貧しい人や体の不自由な人、足の不自由な人、盲人たちを招待しなさい。幸い、そういう人たちはお返しができないので、やがて神を敬う者たちの復活の日に、神があなたにその分を報いてくださるでしょう。」
