19th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Date: August 13, 2017

New American Bible readings

First reading (1 Kings 19: 9A and 11–13A)
A reading from the first book of Kings.
At the mountain of God, Horeb, Elijah came to a cave where he took shelter. Then the LORD said to him, "Go outside and stand on the mountain before the LORD; the LORD will be passing by." A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the LORD—but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake—but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake there was fire—but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound. When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave.

Second reading (Romans 9: 1–5)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
Brothers and sisters: I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie; my conscience joins with the Holy Spirit in bearing me witness that I have great sorrow and constant anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my own people, my kindred according to the flesh. They are Israelites; theirs the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; theirs the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

Gospel (Matthew 14: 22–33)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
After he had fed the people, Jesus made the disciples get into a boat and precede him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. After doing so, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When it was evening he was there alone. Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore, was being tossed about by the waves, for the wind was against it. During the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them walking on the sea. When the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were terrified. "It is a ghost," they said, and they cried out in fear. At once Jesus spoke to them, "Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid." Peter said to him in reply, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water." He said, "Come." Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!" Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught Peter, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" After they got into the boat, the wind died down. Those who were in the boat did him homage, saying, "Truly, you are the Son of God."

Catholic Pastoral Edition readings
First Reading (1 Kings 19: 9a and 11–13a)
A reading from the first book of Kings.
On reaching the cave on the mount of Horeb, Elijah stayed in it. The Lord stated, "Go up and stand on the mount, waiting for the Lord." And the Lord passed by. There was first a windstorm, wild wind which rent the mountains and broke the rocks into pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the storm, an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake, a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. After the fire, the murmur of a gentle breeze. When Elijah perceived it, he covered his face with his cloak, went out and stood at the entrance of the cave.


Second Reading (Romans 9: 1–5)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
I tell you sincerely in Christ, and my conscience assures me in the Holy Spirit that I am not lying; I have great sadness and constant anguish for the Jews. I would even desire that I myself suffer the curse of being cut off from Christ, instead of my brethren: I mean my own people, my kin. They are Israelites whom God adopted, and on them rests his Glory. Theirs are the covenants, the Law, the worship and the promises of God. They are the descendants of the Patriarchs and from their race Christ was born, he who has God is above all distinctions. Blessed be He forever and ever. Amen!


Gospel (Matthew 14: 22–33)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Immediately Jesus obliged his disciples to get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the crowd away. And having sent the people away, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. At nightfall, he was there alone. Meanwhile, the boat was very far from land, dangerously rocked by the waves for the wind was against it. At daybreak, Jesus came to them walking on the lake. When they saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified that it was a ghost. And they cried out in fear. But at once Jesus stated to them, "Courage! Do not be afraid. It is me!" Peter answered, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you walking on the water." Jesus stated to him, "Come." And Peter got out of the boat, walking on the water to go to Jesus. But, in face of the strong wind, he was afraid and began to sink. So he cried out, "Lord, save me!" Jesus immediately stretched out his hand and took hold of him, stating, "Man of little faith, why did you doubt?" As they got into the boat, the wind dropped. Then those in the boat bowed down before Jesus stating, "Truly, you are the Son of God!"

  1. Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 85) (Verses 9–14)
    The response is: Lord, let us see Your kindness, and grant us Your salvation.

    Would that I hear God's proclamation, that he promise peace to his people, his saints — lest they come back to their folly. Yet his salvation is near to those who fear him, and his Glory will dwell in our land.

    Love and faithfulness have met; righteousness and peace have embraced. Faithfulness will reach up from the earth while justice bends down from heaven.

    The Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its fruit. Justice will go before him, and peace will follow along his path.

  3. Primera lectura (1 Reyes 19: 9ª y 11–13ª)
    Una lectura del primer libro de los Reyes.
    Allí se dirigió hacia la caverna y pasó la noche en ese lugar. Yahvé le respondió: “Sal fuera y quédate en el monte delante de Yahvé.” Y Yahvé pasa. Un viento fuerte y violento pasa delante de Yahvé, hiende los montes y parte las rocas, pero Yahvé no está en el viento. Después del viento viene un terremoto, pero Yahvé no está en el terremoto. Después del terremoto, un fuego, pero Yahvé no está en el fuego. Después del fuego, se sintió el murmullo de una suave brisa. Cuando Elías la oyó, se cubrió el rostro con el manto, salió y se mantuvo a la entrada de la caverna.

    Salmo responsorial (Salmo 85) (Versículos 9–14)
    La respuesta es: Señor, déjanos ver tu simpatía, y otórganos tu salvación.
    • Voy a proclamar lo que dice el Señor: el Señor promete la paz, la paz para su pueblo y sus amigos, y para los que se convierten de corazón. Su salvación está muy cerca de sus fieles, y la Gloria habitará en nuestra tierra.
    • El Amor y la Verdad se encontrarán, la Justicia y la Paz se abrazarán; la Verdad brotará de la tierra y la Justicia mirará desde el cielo.
    • El mismo Señor nos dará sus bienes y nuestra tierra producirá sus frutos. La Justicia irá delante de él, y la Paz, sobre la huella de sus pasos.

    Segunda lectura (Romanos 9: 1–5)
    Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los romanos.
    Digo la verdad en Cristo, no miento, y mi conciencia me lo atestigua en el Espíritu Santo. Siento una gran tristeza y un dolor constante en mi corazón. Yo mismo desearía ser maldito, separado de Cristo, en favor de mis hermanos, los de mi propia raza. Ellos son israelitas: a ellos pertenecen la adopción filial, la gloria, las alianzas, la legislación, el culto y las promesas. A ellos pertenecen también los patriarcas, y de ellos desciende Cristo según su condición humana, el cual está por encima de todo, Dios bendito eternamente. Amén.

    Evangelio (Mateo 14: 22–33)
    Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el san Mateo.
    Inmediatamente después Jesús obligó a sus discípulos a que se embarcaran; debían llegar antes que él a la otra orilla, mientras él despedía a la gente. Jesús, pues, despidió a la gente, y luego subió al cerro para orar a solas. Cayó la noche, y él seguía allí solo. La barca en tanto estaba ya muy lejos de tierra y las olas la golpeaban duramente, pues soplaba el viento en contra. A la madrugada, Jesús fue hacia ellos, caminando sobre el mar. Los discípulos, al verlo caminar sobre el mar, se asustaron. “Es un fantasma,” dijeron, y llenos de temor se pusieron a gritar. En seguida Jesús les dijo: “Ánimo, no teman, que soy yo.” Pedro contestó: “Señor, si eres tú, manda que yo vaya a ti caminando sobre el agua.” “Ven,” le dijo Jesús. Y Pedro, bajando de la barca, comenzó a caminar sobre el agua en dirección a él. Pero, al ver la violencia del viento, tuvo miedo, y como empezaba a hundirse, gritó: “Señor, ¡sálvame!” En seguida, Jesús le tendió la mano y lo sostuvo, mientras le decía: “Hombre de poca fe, ¿por qué dudaste?” Subieron a la barca y cesó el viento, y los que estaban en la barca se postraron ante él, diciendo: “¡Verdaderamente tú eres el Hijo de Dios!”

  4. Unang pagbabasa (1 Hari 19: 9A at 11–13A)
    Ang pagbabasa ng unang aklat ng mga Hari.
    Pumasok siya sa isang yungib at doon nagpalipas ng gabi. Ganito ang sagot sa kanya: "Lumabas ka at tumayo sa ibabaw ng bundok sa harapan ko." Pagkasabi nito'y dumaan si Yahweh at umihip ang napakalakas na hangin. Sumabog ang bundok at nagkadurug-durog ang mga bato sa lakas ng hangin ngunit wala sa hangin si Yahweh. Nang tumigil ang hangin ay lumindol, ngunit wala sa lindol si Yahweh. Pagkalipas ng lindol ay kumidlat, ngunit wala rin sa kidlat si Yahweh. Pagkalipas ng kidlat, narinig niya ang isang banayad na tinig. Lumabas si Elias, tinakpan ng balabal ang kanyang mukha at naghintay sa bunganga ng kuweba.

    Awit (Awit 85) (Taludtod 9–14)
    Ang sagot ay: Panginoon, ipakita sa amin ang iyong personalidad, at magbigay sa amin ang iyong kaligtasan.
    — Ang nagpaparangal sa pangalan niya'y kanyang ililigtas, sa ating lupain ay mananatili ang kanyang paglingap. ng katapatan at pag-ibig ay magdadaup-palad, ang kapayapaan at ang katuwira'y magsasamang ganap.
    — Sa balat ng lupa'y sadyang maghahari itong katapatan, mula sa itaas, maghahari naman itong katarungan.
    — Gagawing maunlad ng Diyos na si Yahweh itong ating buhay, ang mga halaman sa ating lupai'y bubungang mainam; ang katarunga'y mauuna sa kanyang daraanan,
    kanyang mga yapak, magiging bakas na kanilang susundan.

    Pangalawang pagbabasa (Roma 9: 1–5)
    Ang isang pagbabasa mula sa Sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Roma.
    Ako'y nagsasabi ng totoo sapagkat ako'y tagasunod ni Cristo. Hindi ako nagsisinungaling. Ang aking budhi, sa patnubay ng Espiritu Santo, ay nagpapatunay na nagsasabi ako ng totoo. Matindi ang aking kalungkutan at di mapawi ang pagdaramdam ng aking puso, dahil sa mga kalahi kong Judio. Mas mamatamisin ko pang ako'y sumpain at mawalay kay Cristo, kung ito'y sa ikabubuti nila. Sila'y mga Israelita na binigyan ng Diyos ng karapatang maging mga anak niya. Ipinakita rin niya sa kanila ang kanyang kaluwalhatian. Sa kanila nakipagtipan ang Diyos. Sa kanila rin ibinigay ang Kautusan, ang tunay na pagsamba, at ang kanyang mga pangako. Sa kanila rin nagmula ang mga patriyarka, at tungkol sa kanyang pagiging tao, si Cristo ay nagmula sa kanilang lahi. Ang Kataas-taasang Diyos ay purihin magpakailanman! Amen.

    Ebanghelyo (Mateo 14: 22–33)
    Ang pagbasa mula sa Banal na Ebanghelyo ayon kay San Mateo.
    Agad pinasakay ni Jesus sa bangka ang mga alagad at pinauna sa kabilang ibayo. Samantala, pinauwi naman niya ang mga tao. Matapos niyang paalisin ang mga ito, mag-isa siyang umakyat sa bundok upang manalangin. Nag-iisa siyang inabutan doon ng gabi. Samantala, ang bangka ay nasa laot na ngunit sinasalpok ito ng mga alon dahil pasalungat ito sa hangin. Nang madaling-araw na'y sumunod sa kanila si Jesus na naglalakad sa ibabaw ng tubig. Kinilabutan sa takot ang mga alagad nang makita nilang may lumalakad sa ibabaw ng tubig. "Multo!" sigaw nila. Ngunit nagsalita agad si Jesus at sinabi sa kanila, "Huwag kayong matakot, ako ito!" Sinabi ni Pedro, "Panginoon, kung talagang ikaw nga iyan, hayaan mong ako'y pumunta sa iyong kinaroroonan diyan sa ibabaw ng tubig." Sumagot siya, "Halika." Mula sa bangka ay lumakad si Pedro sa ibabaw ng tubig papunta kay Jesus. Ngunit nang mapansin niya na malakas ang hangin, siya'y natakot at nagsimulang lumubog. "Panginoon, sagipin ninyo ako!" sigaw niya. Agad siyang inabot ni Jesus. "Bakit ka nag-alinlangan? Napakaliit ng iyong pananampalataya!" sabi niya kay Pedro.Pagkasakay nila sa bangka, tumigil ang hangin at sinamba siya ng mga nasa bangka. "Tunay nga pong kayo ang Anak ng Diyos!" sabi nila.

  5. Bacaan Pertama (1 Raja-raja 19: 9A dan 11–13A)
    Pembacaan dari kitab pertama dari Raja-raja.
    Di sana masuklah ia ke dalam sebuah gua dan bermalam di situ. Lalu firman-Nya: "Keluarlah dan berdiri di atas gunung itu di hadapan TUHAN!" Maka TUHAN lalu! Angin besar dan kuat, yang membelah gunung-gunung dan memecahkan bukit-bukit batu, mendahului TUHAN. Tetapi tidak ada TUHAN dalam angin itu. Dan sesudah angin itu datanglah gempa. Tetapi tidak ada TUHAN dalam gempa itu. Dan sesudah gempa itu datanglah api. Tetapi tidak ada TUHAN dalam api itu. Dan sesudah api itu datanglah bunyi angin sepoi-sepoi basa. Segera sesudah Elia mendengarnya, ia menyelubungi mukanya dengan jubahnya, lalu pergi ke luar dan berdiri di pintu gua itu.

    Mazmur (Mazmur 85) (Ayat 9–14)
    Tanggapan adalah: Tuhan, tunjukkanlah simpati Anda, dan memberikan kita keselamatan Anda.
    — Aku mau mendengar apa yang hendak difirmankan Allah, TUHAN. Bukankah Ia hendak berbicara tentang damai kepada umat-Nya dan kepada orang-orang yang dikasihi-Nya, supaya jangan mereka kembali kepada kebodohan? Sesungguhnya keselamatan dari pada-Nya dekat pada orang-orang yang takut akan Dia, sehingga kemuliaan diam di negeri kita.
    — Kasih dan kesetiaan akan bertemu, keadilan dan damai sejahtera akan bercium-ciuman. Kesetiaan akan tumbuh dari bumi, dan keadilan akan menjenguk dari langit.
    — Bahkan TUHAN akan memberikan kebaikan, dan negeri kita akan memberi hasilnya. Keadilan akan berjalan di hadapan-Nya, dan akan membuat jejak kaki-Nya menjadi jalan.

    Bacaan Kedua (Roma 9: 1–5)
    Pembacaan dari surat Paulus kepada jemaat di Roma.
    Aku mengatakan kebenaran dalam Kristus, aku tidak berdusta. Suara hatiku turut bersaksi dalam Roh Kudus, bahwa aku sangat berdukacita dan selalu bersedih hati. Bahkan, aku mau terkutuk dan terpisah dari Kristus demi saudara-saudaraku, kaum sebangsaku secara jasmani. Sebab mereka adalah orang Israel, mereka telah diangkat menjadi anak, dan mereka telah menerima kemuliaan, dan perjanjian-perjanjian, dan hukum Taurat, dan ibadah, dan janji-janji. Mereka adalah keturunan bapa-bapa leluhur, yang menurunkan Mesias dalam keadaan-Nya sebagai manusia, yang ada di atas segala sesuatu. Ia adalah Allah yang harus dipuji sampai selama-lamanya. Amin!

    Bacaan Injil (Matius 14: 22–33)
    Pembacaan dari Injil kudus menurut Santo Matius.
    Sesudah itu Yesus segera memerintahkan murid-murid-Nya naik ke perahu dan mendahului-Nya ke seberang, sementara itu Ia menyuruh orang banyak pulang. Dan setelah orang banyak itu disuruh-Nya pulang, Yesus naik ke atas bukit untuk berdoa seorang diri. Ketika hari sudah malam, Ia sendirian di situ. Perahu murid-murid-Nya sudah beberapa mil jauhnya dari pantai dan diombang-ambingkan gelombang, karena angin sakal. Kira-kira jam tiga malam datanglah Yesus kepada mereka berjalan di atas air. Ketika murid-murid-Nya melihat Dia berjalan di atas air, mereka terkejut dan berseru: "Itu hantu!", lalu berteriak-teriak karena takut. Tetapi segera Yesus berkata kepada mereka: "Tenanglah! Aku ini, jangan takut!" Lalu Petrus berseru dan menjawab Dia: "Tuhan, apabila Engkau itu, suruhlah aku datang kepada-Mu berjalan di atas air." Kata Yesus: "Datanglah!" Maka Petrus turun dari perahu dan berjalan di atas air mendapatkan Yesus. Tetapi ketika dirasanya tiupan angin, takutlah ia dan mulai tenggelam lalu berteriak: "Tuhan, tolonglah aku!" Segera Yesus mengulurkan tangan-Nya, memegang dia dan berkata: "Hai orang yang kurang percaya, mengapa engkau bimbang?" Lalu mereka naik ke perahu dan anginpun redalah. Dan orang-orang yang ada di perahu menyembah Dia, katanya: "Sesungguhnya Engkau Anak Allah."

  6. Responsorial psalm (Psalm 85) (Verses 9–14)
    The response is: Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.
    • I will hear what God proclaims; the LORD — for he proclaims peace. Near indeed is his salvation to those who fear him, glory dwelling in our land.
    • Kindness and truth shall meet; justice and peace shall kiss. Truth shall spring out of the earth, and justice shall look down from heaven.
    • The LORD himself will give his benefits; our land shall yield its increase. Justice shall walk before him, and prepare the way of his steps.

  7. Hola, soy la mamá de Tatiana. Lo siento por molestarte, pero Tatiana, que está tan olvidadiza dejó su teléfono otra vez en el coche. ¿Podrías contarle que su papá conduce con el hermano suyo al Meralco a las cuatro en tarde y va a llevar en coche a ella? No te ejerzo presión, pero este mensaje sólo sirve si ella está con ustedes. ¡Gracias!
