28th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Date: October 15, 2017

New American Bible readings

First reading (Isaiah 25: 6–10A)
A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
On this mountain the LORD of hosts will provide for all peoples a feast of rich food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines. On this mountain he will destroy the veil that veils all peoples, the web that is woven over all nations; he will destroy death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from every face; the reproach of his people he will remove from the whole earth; for the LORD has spoken. On that day it will be said: "Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us! This is the LORD for whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!" For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain.

Second reading (Philippians 4: 12–14 and 19–20)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Philippians.
Brothers and sisters: I know how to live in humble circumstances; I know also how to live with abundance. In every circumstance and in all things I have learned the secret of being well fed and of going hungry, of living in abundance and of being in need. I can do all things in him who strengthens me. Still, it was kind of you to share in my distress. My God will fully supply whatever you need, in accord with his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father, glory forever and ever. Amen.

Gospel (Matthew 22: 1–14)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Jesus again in reply spoke to the chief priests and elders of the people in parables, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come. A second time he sent other servants, saying, 'Tell those invited: "Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast."' Some ignored the invitation and went away, one to his farm, another to his business. The rest laid hold of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them. The king was enraged and sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, 'The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find.' The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to meet the guests, he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment. The king said to him, 'My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?' But he was reduced to silence. Then the king said to his attendants, 'Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.' Many are invited, but few are chosen."

Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible readings

First Reading (Isaiah 25: 6–10a) 
A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah. 
On this mountain the Lord Sabaoth will prepare for all peoples a feast of rich food and choice wines, meat full of marrow, fine wine strained. On this mountain he will destroy the pall cast over all peoples, this very shroud spread over all nations, and death will be no more. The Lord God will wipe away the tears from all cheeks and eyes; he will take away the humiliation of his people all over the world: for the Lord has spoken. On that day you will state: This is our God. We have waited for him to save us, let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation. For on his mountain the hand of the Lord rests.

Second Reading (Philippians 4: 12–14 and 19–20) 
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Philippians. 
I know what it is to be in want and what it is to have plenty. I am trained for both: to be hungry or satisfied, to have much or little. I can do all things in him who strengthens me. However you did right in sharing my trials. God himself will provide you with everything you need, according to his riches, and show you his generosity in Christ Jesus. Glory to God, our Father, forever and ever. Amen. 

Gospel (Matthew 22: 1–14) 
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew. 
Jesus went on speaking to the chief priests, the teachers of the Law, and the Jewish authorities in parables: "This story throws light on the kingdom of heaven. A king celebrated the wedding of his son. He sent his servants to call the invited guests to the wedding feast, but the guests refused to come. Again he sent other servants ordering them to state to the invited guests: 'I have prepare a banquet, slaughtered my fattened calves and other animals, and now everything is ready: come then, to the wedding feast.' But they paid no attention and went away, some to their fields, and others to their work. While the rest seized the servants of the king, insulted them and killed them. The king became angry. He sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city. Then he stated to his servants: 'The wedding banquet is prepared, but the invited guests are not worthy. Go, then, to the crossroads and invite everyone you find to the wedding feast.' The servants went out at once into the streets and gathered everyone they found, good and bad alike, so that the hall was filled with guests. The king came in to see those who were at table, and he noticed a man not wearing the festal garment. So he stated to him: 'Friend, how did you get in without the wedding garment?' But the man remained silent. So the king stated to his servants: 'Bind his hands and feet and throw him into the dark where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.' Know that many are called, but few are chosen."

  1. Responsorial psalm (Psalm 23) (Verses 1–6)
    The response is: I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

    The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me besides the still waters, he restores my soul.

    He guides me through the right paths for his name's sake. Although I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for you are beside me: your rod and your staff comfort me.

    You spread a table before me in the presence of my foes. You anoint my head with oil; my cup is overflowing.

    Goodness and kindness will follow me all the days of my life, I shall dwell in the house of the Lord as long as I live.

  2. Primera lectura (Isaías 25: 6–10ª)
    Yahvé de los Ejércitos está preparando para todos los pueblos, en este cerro, una comida con jugosos asados y buenos vinos, un banquete de carne y vinos escogidos. En este cerro quitará el velo de luto que cubría a todos los pueblos y la mortaja que envolvía a todas las naciones. Y destruirá para siempre a la Muerte. El Señor Yahvé enjugará las lágrimas de todos los rostros; devolverá la honra a su pueblo, y a toda la tierra, pues así lo ha dicho Yahvé. Entonces dirán: “Este es, en verdad, nuestro Dios, de quien esperábamos que nos salvara; éste es Yahvé, en quien confiábamos. Ahora estamos contentos y nos alegramos porque nos ha salvado; pues la mano de Yahvé se nota en este cerro.”

    Salmo responsorial (Salmo 23) (Versículos 1–6)
    La respuesta es: Habitaré en la casa del Señor todos los días de mi vida.
    • El Señor es mi pastor, nada me puede faltar. Él me hace descansar en verdes praderas, me conduce a las aguas tranquilas y repara mis fuerzas; me guía por el recto sendero, por amor de su Nombre.
    • Aunque cruce por oscuras quebradas, no temeré ningún mal, porque tú estás conmigo: tu vara y tu bastón me infunden confianza.
    • Tú preparas ante mí una mesa, frente a mis enemigos; unges con óleo mi cabeza y mi copa rebosa.
    • Tu bondad y tu gracia me acompañan a lo largo de mi vida; y habitaré en la Casa del Señor, por muy largo tiempo.

    Segunda lectura (Filipenses 4: 12–14 y 19–20)
    Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los filipenses.
    Yo sé vivir tanto en las privaciones como en la abundancia; estoy hecho absolutamente a todo, a la saciedad como al hambre, a tener sobra como a no tener nada. Yo lo puedo todo en aquel que me conforta. Sin embargo, ustedes hicieron bien en interesarse por mis necesidades. Dios colmará con magnificencia todas las necesidades de ustedes, conforme a su riqueza, en Cristo Jesús. A Dios, nuestro Padre, sea la gloria por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.

    Evangelio (Mateo 22: 1–14)
    Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Mateo.
    Jesús siguió hablándoles por medio de parábolas: “Aprendan algo del Reino de los Cielos. Un rey preparaba las bodas de su hijo, por lo que mandó a sus servidores a llamar a los invitados a la fiesta. Pero éstos no quisieron venir. De nuevo envió a otros servidores con orden de decir a los invitados: ‘He preparado un banquete, ya hice matar terneras y otros animales gordos y todo está a punto. Vengan, pues, a la fiesta de la boda.’ Pero ellos no hicieron caso, sino que se fueron, unos a sus campos y otros a sus negocios. Los demás tomaron a los servidores del rey, los maltrataron y los mataron. El rey se enojó y envió a sus tropas, que dieron muerte a aquellos asesinos e incendiaron su ciudad. Después dijo a sus servidores: ‘El banquete de bodas sigue esperando, pero los que habían sido invitados no eran dignos. Vayan, pues, a las esquinas de las calles e inviten a la fiesta a todos los que encuentren.’ Los servidores salieron inmediatamente a los caminos y reunieron a todos los que encontraron, malos y buenos, de modo que la sala se llenó de invitados. Después entró el rey para conocer a los que estaban sentados a la mesa, y vio un hombre que no se había puesto el traje de fiesta. Le dijo: ‘Amigo, ¿cómo es que has entrado sin traje de bodas?’ El hombre se quedó callado. Entonces el rey dijo a sus servidores: ‘Atenlo de pies y manos y échenlo a las tinieblas de fuera. Allí será el llorar y el rechinar de dientes.’ Sepan que muchos son llamados, pero pocos son elegidos.”

  5. Damas y caballeros, estoy agradecido por oír que están disfrutando tremendamente de sus clases de ley. Aquí, les comunico por esta semana el siguiente asunto: la descripción del último proyecto.
    Agrúpense con cuatro o cinco miembros. No puede ser más ni menos. Cada miembro en el bloque debe pertenecer a un grupo de cuatro o cinco en el mismo bloque. El último proyecto consta de dos componentes:
    1. Cualquier medio que se puede subir o publicar a internet — video, revista, blog de varias entradas, etcétera. Estos medios epitomizan la esencia de los medios que se describen por la ética de comunicación que se puede encontrar aquí. Este documento contiene el esquema de la ética de comunicación y de los medios que captan la ética cristiana. Además, los medios que ustedes producen deben alinearse con el espíritu expresado en nuestro credo universitario. Para resumir, hay que producir un medio que encapsula el genuino espíritu universitario.
    2. Un documento que explica de modo escolástico — utilizando la citación de APA y bibliografía — cómo alinea su medio elegido con los documentos mencionados, la razón en que escogieron este medio, las influencias del tema y del contenido, y otros detalles que creen que son importantes para que yo entienda o aprecie su medio. No hay formato especificado del documento, aparte de la citación y el estilo bibliográfico mencionado. Obviamente, al separar su documento con encabezados y subtemas hará más legible su documento.
    Entreguen estos requisitos en la última semana de noviembre. La calidad de los proyectos determinará si ustedes tendrán que presentar el último examen, o si van a eximirse de presentar el examen. El último examen se hace de modo oral.
    Busquen algunos compañeros que te ayudarán a lo largo del camino. Empiecen a leer el documento mencionado, y empiecen a pensar por este proyecto. En cualquier caso, les mostraré algunos ejemplos de estos proyectos cuando regrese, para que ustedes tengan alguna idea de lo que esperar. En la próxima semana, publicaré otra publicación en cuanto a las presentaciones que harán durante las clases restantes de la ética de comunicación.

  6. Unang pagbabasa (Isaias 25: 6–10A)
    Ang pagbabasa sa aklat ni propeta Isaias.
    Sa Bundok ng Zion, aanyayahan ni Yahweh na Makapangyarihan sa lahat ang lahat ng bansa para sa isang malaking handaan. Pinakamasasarap na pagkain at alak ang kanyang ipinahanda. Sa bundok ding ito'y papawiin niya ang ulap ng kalungkutang naghahari sa lahat ng bansa. Lubusan nang pupuksain ng Panginoong Yahweh ang kamatayan, at papahirin ang mga luha sa kanilang mga mata. Aalisin niya sa kahihiyan ang kanyang bayan. Sasabihin ng lahat sa araw na iyon: “Siya ang hinihintay nating Diyos na sa ati'y magliligtas, siya si Yahweh na ating inaasahan. Magalak tayo at magdiwang, sapagkat tayo'y kanyang iniligtas.” Iingatan ni Yahweh ang Bundok ng Zion.

    Salmong tugon (Salmo 23) (Bersikulo 1–6)
    Ang tugon ay: Mangpakailanma’y sa bahay ng Panginoon mananahan.
    • Si Yahweh ang aking pastol, hindi ako magkukulang; pinapahimlay niya ako sa luntiang pastulan, at inaakay niya sa tahimik na batisan.
    • Pinapanumbalik ang aking kalakasan, at pinapatnubayan niya sa tamang daan, upang aking parangalan ang kanyang pangalan. Dumaan man ako sa madilim na libis ng kamatayan, wala akong katatakutan, pagkat ika'y aking kaagapay. Ang tungkod mo at pamalo, aking gabay at sanggalang.
    • Ipinaghahanda mo ako ng salu-salo, na nakikita pa nitong mga kalaban ko; sa aking ulo langis ay ibinubuhos, sa aking saro, pagpapala'y lubus-lubos.
    • Kabutiha't pag-ibig mo sa aki'y di magkukulang, siyang makakasama ko habang ako'y nabubuhay; at magpakailanma'y sa bahay ni Yahweh mananahan.

    Pangalawang pagbabasa (Filipos 4: 12–14 at 19–20)
    Ang pagbabasa sa sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Filipos.
    Alam ko kung paano maghikahos; alam ko rin kung paano managana; natutunan ko na ang sikreto kung paano masiyahan sa anumang kalagayan sa buhay, ang mabusog o ang magutom, ang managana o ang maghirap. Ang lahat ng ito'y magagawa ko dahil sa lakas na kaloob sa akin ni Cristo. Gayunman, ikinagagalak ko ang inyong pagdamay sa aking mga paghihirap. At buhat sa hindi mauubos na kayamanan ng Diyos, ibibigay niya ang lahat ng inyong kailangan sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus. Purihin ang ating Diyos at Ama magpakailanman! Amen.

    1. Ebanghelyo (Mateo 22: 1–14)
      Ang magandang balita ayon kay San Mateo.
      Muling nagsalita sa kanila si Jesus sa pamamagitan ng talinghaga. Sinabi niya, “Ang kaharian ng langit ay katulad ng isang haring nagdaos ng isang handaan para sa kasal ng kanyang anak na lalaki. Isinugo niya ang kanyang mga lingkod upang tawagin ang mga inanyayahan, ngunit ayaw nilang dumalo. Muli siyang nagsugo ng ibang mga lingkod at kanyang pinagbilinan ng ganito: ‘Sabihin ninyo sa mga inanyayahan na nakahanda na ang mga pagkain, kinatay na ang aking mga baka at mga pinatabang guya, at handa na ang lahat. Halina kayo!’ Ngunit hindi ito pinansin ng mga inanyayahan. Sa halip, pumunta sila sa kani-kanilang lakad. May nagpunta sa kanyang bukid at mayroon namang nag-asikaso ng kanyang negosyo. Sinunggaban naman ng iba ang mga lingkod, hinamak at pinatay. Galit na galit ang hari kaya't pinapunta niya ang kanyang mga kawal upang puksain ang mga mamamatay-taong iyon at sunugin ang kanilang lungsod. Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa kanyang mga lingkod, ‘Nakahanda na ang mga pagkain ngunit hindi karapat-dapat ang mga inanyayahan. Pumunta kayo sa mga pangunahing lansangan at inyong anyayahan sa kasalan ang lahat ng makita ninyo.’ Pumunta nga sa mga lansangan ang mga lingkod at isinama nila ang lahat ng kanilang natagpuan, masasama't mabubuti, at napuno ng mga panauhin ang bulwagang pangkasalan. Pumasok ang hari upang tingnan ang mga panauhin. Nakita niya ang isang taong hindi nakadamit pangkasalan. Tinanong niya ito, ‘Kaibigan, bakit ka pumasok dito nang hindi nakasuot ng damit pangkasalan?’ Hindi nakasagot ang tao, kaya't sinabi ng hari sa mga lingkod, ‘Talian ninyo ang kanyang kamay at paa, at itapon siya sa kadiliman sa labas. Doo'y mananangis siya at magngangalit ang kanyang mga ngipin.’” Pagkatapos nito'y sinabi ni Jesus, “Marami ang tinatawag, ngunit kakaunti ang pinili.”
