First Reading (Isaiah 56: 1 and 6–7)
A reading from the book of Isaiah.
This is what the Lord states: Maintain what is right and do what is just, for my salvation is close at hand, my justice is soon to come. The Lord states to the foreigners who join him, serving him and loving his name, keeping his sabbath unprofaned and remaining faithful to his covenant: I will bring them to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. I will accept on my altar their burnt offerings and sacrifices, for my house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations.
Second Reading (Romans 11: 13–15 and 29–32)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
Listen to me, you who are not Jews: I am spending myself as an apostle to the pagan nations, but I hope my ministry will be successful enough to awaken the jealousy of those of my race, and finally to save some of them. If the world made peace with God when they remained apart, what will it be when they are welcomed? Nothing less than a passing from death to life. The call of God and his gifts cannot be nullified. Through the rebellion of the Jews the mercy of God came to you who did not obey God. They in turn will receive mercy in due time after this rebellion that brought God's mercy to you. So God has submitted all to disobedience, in order to show his mercy to all.
Gospel (Matthew 15: 21–28)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. Now a Canaanite woman came from those borders and began to cry out, "Lord, Son of David, have pity on me! My daughter is tormented by a demon." But Jesus did not answer her, not even a word. So his disciples approached him and stated, "Send her away: see how she is shouting after us." Then Jesus stated to her, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the nation of Israel." But the woman was already kneeling before Jesus and stated, "Sir, help me!" Jesus answered, "It is not right to take the bread from the children and throw it to the little dogs." The woman replied, "It is not right to take the bread from the children and throw it to the little dogs." The woman replied, "It is true, sir, but even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their master's table." Then Jesus stated, "Woman, how great is your faith! Let it be as you wish." And her daughter was healed at that moment.

First reading (Isaiah 56: 1 and 6–7)
A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
Thus says the LORD: Observe what is right, do what is just; for my salvation is about to come, my justice, about to be revealed. The foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, ministering to him, loving the name of the LORD, and becoming his servants—all who keep the Sabbath free from profanation and hold to my covenant, them I will bring to my holy mountain and make joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be acceptable on my altar, for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
Second reading (Romans 11: 13–15 and 29–32)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
Brothers and sisters: I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I glory in my ministry in order to make my race jealous and thus save some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable. Just as you once disobeyed God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience, so they have now disobeyed in order that, by virtue of the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy. For God delivered all to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.
Gospel (Matthew 15: 21–28)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
At that time, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, “Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon.” But Jesus did not say a word in answer to her. Jesus' disciples came and asked him, “Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us.” He said in reply, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But the woman came and did Jesus homage, saying, “Lord, help me.” He said in reply, “It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs.” She said, “Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters.” Then Jesus said to her in reply, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And the woman's daughter was healed from that hour.

Primera Lectura (Isaías 56: 1 y 6–7)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro del profeta Isaías.
Así dice Yahvé: Actúen correctamente y hagan siempre lo debido, pues mi salvación se viene acercando y mi justicia está a punto de aparecer. Y a los extranjeros que se han puesto de parte de Yahvé, para obedecerle, amar su Nombre y ser sus servidores, que tratan de no profanar el sábado y que cumplen fielmente su compromiso conmigo, los llevaré a mi cerro santo y haré que se sientan felices en mi Casa de oración. Serán aceptados los holocaustos y los sacrificios que hagan sobre mi altar, ya que mi casa será llamada Casa de oración para todos los pueblos.
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 67) (Versículos 2–3, 5–6 y 8)
La respuesta es: Oh Dios, ¡que te den gracias los pueblos!
• Que Dios tenga piedad y nos bendiga, haga brillar su rostro sobre nosotros, para que en la tierra se reconozca su dominio, y su victoria entre las naciones.
• Que canten de alegría las naciones, porque gobiernas a los pueblos con justicia y guías a las naciones de la tierra.
• ¡Que los pueblos te den gracias, oh Dios, que todos los pueblos te den gracias! Que Dios nos bendiga, y lo teman todos los confines de la tierra.
Segunda Lectura (Romanos 11: 13–15 y 29–32)
Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los romanos.
A ustedes, que son de origen pagano, les aseguro que en mi condición de Apóstol de los paganos, hago honor a mi ministerio provocando los celos de mis hermanos de raza, con la esperanza de salvar a algunos de ellos. Porque si la exclusión de Israel trajo consigo la reconciliación del mundo, su reintegración, ¿no será un retorno a la vida? Porque los dones y el llamado de Dios son irrevocables. En efecto, ustedes antes desobedecieron a Dios, pero ahora, a causa de la desobediencia de ellos, han alcanzado misericordia. De la misma manera, ahora que ustedes han alcanzado misericordia, ellos se niegan a obedecer a Dios. Pero esto es para que ellos también alcancen misericordia. Porque Dios sometió a todos a la desobediencia, para tener misericordia de todos.
Evangelio (Mateo 15: 21–28)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Mateo.
Jesús marchó de allí y se fue en dirección a las tierras de Tiro y Sidón. Una mujer cananea, que llegaba de ese territorio, empezó a gritar: “¡Señor, hijo de David, ten compasión de mí! Mi hija está atormentada por un demonio.” Pero Jesús no le contestó ni una palabra. Entonces sus discípulos se acercaron y le dijeron: “Atiéndela, mira cómo grita detrás de nosotros.” Jesús contestó: “No he sido enviado sino a las ovejas perdidas del pueblo de Israel.” Pero la mujer se acercó a Jesús y, puesta de rodillas, le decía: “¡Señor, ayúdame!” Jesús le dijo: “No se debe echar a los perros el pan de los hijos.” La mujer contestó: “Es verdad, Señor, pero también los perritos comen las migajas que caen de la mesa de sus amos.” Entonces Jesús le dijo: “Mujer, ¡qué grande es tu fe! Que se cumpla tu deseo.” Y en aquel momento quedó sana su hija.
