First Reading (Ezekiel 34: 11–12 and 15–17)
A reading from the book of the prophet Ezekiel.
Indeed the Lord states this: "I myself will care for my sheep and watch over them. As the shepherd looks after his flock when he finds them scattered, so will I watch over my sheep and gather them from all the places where they were scattered in a time of cloud and fog. I myself will tend my sheep and let them rest, the word of the Lord. I will search for the lost and lead back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the fat and strong will be eliminated. I will shepherd my flock with justice. As for you, my flock — says the Lord — I will distinguish between one sheep and another, and set apart rams and goats.
Second Reading (1 Corinthians 15: 20–26 and 28)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
Christ has been raise from the dead and he comes before all those who have fallen asleep. A human being brought death; a human being also brings resurrection of the dead. All die for being Adam's, and in Christ all will receive life. However, each one in his own time: first Christ, then Christ's people, when he visits them. Then the end will come, when Christ delivers the kingdom to God the Father, after having destroyed every rule, authority, and power, for he must reign and put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed will be death. When the Father has subjected everything to him, the Son will place himself under the One who subjected everything to him. From then on, God will be all in all.
Gospel (Matthew 25: 31–46)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Jesus stated this to his disciples: "When the Son of Man comes in his glory with all his angels, he will sit on the throne of his Glory. All the nations will be brought before him, and as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, so will he do with them, placing the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. The King will say to those on his right: 'Come, blessed of my Father! Take possession of the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world. For I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me into your house. I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to see me.' Then the good people will ask him: 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and give you food; thirsty and give you drink, or a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to see you?' The King will answer, 'Truly, I say to you: whenever you did this to these little ones who are my brothers and sisters, you did it to me.' Then he will state to those on his left: 'Go, cursed people, out of my sight into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels! For I was hungry and you did not give me anything to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink; I was a stranger and you did not welcome me into your house; I was naked and you did not clothe me; I was sick and in prison and you did not visit me.' They, too, will ask: 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, thirsty, naked or a stranger, sick or in prison, and did not help you?' The King will answer them: 'Truly, I say to you: whatever you did not do for one of these little ones, you did not do for me.' And these will go into eternal punishment, but the just to eternal life."

First reading (Ezekiel 34: 11–12 and 15–17)
A reading from the book of the prophet
Ezekiel.
Thus says the Lord GOD: I myself will look
after and tend my sheep. As a shepherd tends his flock when he finds himself
among his scattered sheep, so will I tend my sheep. I will rescue them from
every place where they were scattered when it was cloudy and dark. I myself
will pasture my sheep; I myself will give them rest, says the Lord GOD. The
lost I will seek out, the strayed I will bring back, the injured I will bind
up, the sick I will heal, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy, shepherding
them rightly. As for you, my sheep, says the Lord GOD, I will judge between one
sheep and another, between rams and goats.
Second reading (1 Corinthians 15: 20–26
and 28)
A reading from the first letter of Saint
Paul to the Corinthians.
Brothers and sisters: Christ has been
raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For
since death came through man, the resurrection of the dead came also through
man. For just as in Adam all die, so too in Christ shall all be brought to
life, but each one in proper order: Christ the firstfruits; then, at his
coming, those who belong to Christ; then comes the end, when he hands over the
kingdom to his God and Father, when he has destroyed every sovereignty and
every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies
under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. When everything is
subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to the one who
subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.
Gospel (Matthew 25: 31–46)
A reading from the holy Gospel according
to Matthew.
Jesus said to his disciples: "When
the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit
upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And
he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from
the goats. He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then
the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my
Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For
I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a
stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for
me, in prison and you visited me.' Then the righteous will answer him and say, 'Lord,
when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When
did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we
see you ill or in prison, and visit you?' And the king will say to them in
reply, 'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of the least brothers of
mine, you did for me.' Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me,
you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For
I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, a
stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and
in prison, and you did not care for me.' Then they will answer and say, 'Lord,
when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in
prison, and not minister to your needs?' He will answer them, 'Amen, I say to
you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.' And
these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 23) (Verses 1–3 and 5–6)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads beside the still waters, he restores my soul. He guides me through the right paths for his name's sake.
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.
This psalm is taken from the Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible.

DeletePrimera lectura (Ezequiel 34: 11–12 y 15–17)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro del profeta Ezequiel.
Porque esto dice Yahvé: “¡Aquí estoy, soy yo! Vengo en busca de las ovejas, yo me ocuparé de ellas como el pastor que se ocupa de su rebaño el día en que se encuentre en medio de sus ovejas en libertad. Yo también me ocuparé de mis ovejas y las sacaré de todos los lugares por donde se dispersaron ese día de negras nubes y tinieblas. Yo mismo me preocuparé de mis ovejas, yo las llevaré a descansar, palabra de Yahvé. Buscaré a la que esté perdida, volveré a traer a la que esté extraviada, curaré a la que esté herida, reanimaré a la que esté enferma, velaré por la que esté sana; las cuidaré con justicia. Y a ustedes, mis ovejas, esto dice Yahvé: Juzgaré entre ovejas y ovejas, entre chivos y carneros.
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 23) (Versículos 1–3 y 5–6)
La respuesta es: El Señor es mi pastor, nada me puede faltar.
• 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.
• 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 (1 Corintios 15: 20–26 y 28)
Una lectura de la primera carta de San Pablo a los Corintios.
Pero no, Cristo resucitó de entre los muertos, el primero de todos. Porque la muerte vino al mundo por medio de un hombre, y también por medio de un hombre viene la resurrección. En efecto, así como todos mueren en Adán, así también todos revivirán en Cristo, cada uno según el orden que le corresponde: Cristo, el primero de todos, luego, aquellos que estén unidos a él en el momento de su Venida. En seguida vendrá el fin, cuando Cristo entregue el Reino a Dios, el Padre, después de haber aniquilado todo Principado, Dominio y Poder. Porque es necesario que Cristo reine hasta que ponga a todos los enemigos debajo de sus pies. El último enemigo que será vencido es la muerte, y cuando el universo entero le sea sometido, el mismo Hijo se someterá también a aquel que le sometió todas las cosas, a fin de que Dios sea todo en todos.
Evangelio (Mateo 25: 31–46)
DeleteUna lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Mateo.
Jesús les dijo esto a sus discípulos: “Cuando el Hijo del Hombre venga en su gloria rodeado de todos sus ángeles, se sentará en el trono de gloria, que es suyo. Todas las naciones serán llevadas a su presencia, y separará a unos de otros, al igual que el pastor separa las ovejas de los cabritos y pondrá a aquellas a su derecha y a estos a su izquierda. Entonces el Rey dirá a los que están a su derecha: ‘Vengan, benditos de mi Padre, y tomen posesión del reino que ha sido preparado para ustedes desde el principio del mundo. Porque tuve hambre y ustedes me dieron de comer; tuve sed y ustedes me dieron de beber. Fui forastero y ustedes me recibieron en su casa. Anduve sin ropas y me vistieron. Estuve enfermo y fueron a visitarme. Estuve en la cárcel y me fueron a ver.’ Entonces los justos dirán: ‘Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento y te dimos de comer, o sediento y te dimos de beber? ¿Cuándo te vimos forastero y te recibimos, o sin ropa y te vestimos? ¿Cuándo te vimos enfermo o en la cárcel y fuimos a verte?’ El Rey responderá: ‘En verdad les digo que, cuando lo hicieron con alguno de los más pequeños de estos mis hermanos, me lo hicieron a mí.’ Dirá después a los que estén a la izquierda: ‘¡Malditos, aléjense de mí y vayan al fuego eterno, que ha sido preparado para el diablo y para sus ángeles! Porque tuve hambre y ustedes no me dieron de comer; tuve sed y no me dieron de beber; era forastero y no me recibieron en su casa; estaba sin ropa y no me vistieron; estuve enfermo y encarcelado y no me visitaron.’ Estos preguntarán también: ‘Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento o sediento, desnudo o forastero, enfermo o encarcelado, y no te ayudamos?’ El Rey les responderá: ‘En verdad les digo: siempre que no lo hicieron con alguno de estos más pequeños, ustedes dejaron de hacérmelo a mí.’ Y éstos irán a un suplicio eterno, y los buenos a la vida eterna.”
Bacaan pertama (Yehezkiel 34: 11–12 y 15–17)
ReplyDeletePembacaan dari kitab dari Yehezkiel.
Sebab beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Dengan sesungguhnya Aku sendiri akan memperhatikan domba-domba-Ku dan akan mencarinya. Seperti seorang gembala mencari dombanya pada waktu domba itu tercerai dari kawanan dombanya, begitulah Aku akan mencari domba-domba-Ku dan Aku akan menyelamatkan mereka dari segala tempat, ke mana mereka diserahkan pada hari berkabut dan hari kegelapan. Aku sendiri akan menggembalakan domba-domba-Ku dan Aku akan membiarkan mereka berbaring, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH. Yang hilang akan Kucari, yang tersesat akan Kubawa pulang, yang luka akan Kubalut, yang sakit akan Kukuatkan, serta yang gemuk dan yang kuat akan Kulindungi; Aku akan menggembalakan mereka sebagaimana seharusnya. Dan hai kamu domba-domba-Ku, beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Sungguh, Aku akan menjadi hakim di antara domba dengan domba, dan di antara domba jantan dan kambing jantan.
Mazmur (Mazmur 23) (Ayat 1–3 dan 5–6)
Tanggapan adalah: TUHAN adalah gembalaku, takkan kekurangan aku.
• TUHAN adalah gembalaku, takkan kekurangan aku. Ia membaringkan aku di padang yang berumput hijau.
• Ia membimbing aku ke air yang tenang; Ia menyegarkan jiwaku. Ia menuntun aku di jalan yang benar oleh karena nama-Nya.
• Engkau menyediakan hidangan bagiku, di hadapan lawanku; Engkau mengurapi kepalaku dengan minyak; pialaku penuh melimpah.
• Kebajikan dan kemurahan belaka akan mengikuti aku, seumur hidupku; dan aku akan diam dalam rumah TUHAN sepanjang masa.
Bacaan kedua (1 Korintus 15: 20–26 dan 28)
Pembacaan dari surat pertama dari Paulus kepada jemaat di Korintus.
Tetapi yang benar ialah, bahwa Kristus telah dibangkitkan dari antara orang mati, sebagai yang sulung dari orang-orang yang telah meninggal. Sebab sama seperti maut datang karena satu orang manusia, demikian juga kebangkitan orang mati datang karena satu orang manusia. Karena sama seperti semua orang mati dalam persekutuan dengan Adam, demikian pula semua orang akan dihidupkan kembali dalam persekutuan dengan Kristus. Tetapi tiap-tiap orang menurut urutannya: Kristus sebagai buah sulung; sesudah itu mereka yang menjadi milik-Nya pada waktu kedatangan-Nya. Kemudian tiba kesudahannya, yaitu bilamana Ia menyerahkan Kerajaan kepada Allah Bapa, sesudah Ia membinasakan segala pemerintahan, kekuasaan dan kekuatan. Karena Ia harus memegang pemerintahan sebagai Raja sampai Allah meletakkan semua musuh-Nya di bawah kaki-Nya. Musuh yang terakhir, yang dibinasakan ialah maut. Tetapi kalau segala sesuatu telah ditaklukkan di bawah Kristus, maka Ia sendiri sebagai Anak akan menaklukkan diri-Nya di bawah Dia, yang telah menaklukkan segala sesuatu di bawah-Nya, supaya Allah menjadi semua di dalam semua.

DeletePembacaan dari Injil kudus menurut Santo Matius.
Yesus berkata-kata hal ini kepada murid-muridnya: “Apabila Anak Manusia datang dalam kemuliaan-Nya dan semua malaikat bersama-sama dengan Dia, maka Ia akan bersemayam di atas takhta kemuliaan-Nya. Lalu semua bangsa akan dikumpulkan di hadapan-Nya dan Ia akan memisahkan mereka seorang dari pada seorang, sama seperti gembala memisahkan domba dari kambing, dan Ia akan menempatkan domba-domba di sebelah kanan-Nya dan kambing-kambing di sebelah kiri-Nya. Dan Raja itu akan berkata kepada mereka yang di sebelah kanan-Nya: Mari, hai kamu yang diberkati oleh Bapa-Ku, terimalah Kerajaan yang telah disediakan bagimu sejak dunia dijadikan. Sebab ketika Aku lapar, kamu memberi Aku makan; ketika Aku haus, kamu memberi Aku minum; ketika Aku seorang asing, kamu memberi Aku tumpangan; ketika Aku telanjang, kamu memberi Aku pakaian; ketika Aku sakit, kamu melawat Aku; ketika Aku di dalam penjara, kamu mengunjungi Aku. Maka orang-orang benar itu akan menjawab Dia, katanya: Tuhan, bilamanakah kami melihat Engkau lapar dan kami memberi Engkau makan, atau haus dan kami memberi Engkau minum? Bilamanakah kami melihat Engkau sebagai orang asing, dan kami memberi Engkau tumpangan, atau telanjang dan kami memberi Engkau pakaian? Bilamanakah kami melihat Engkau sakit atau dalam penjara dan kami mengunjungi Engkau? Dan Raja itu akan menjawab mereka: Aku berkata kepadamu, sesungguhnya segala sesuatu yang kamu lakukan untuk salah seorang dari saudara-Ku yang paling hina ini, kamu telah melakukannya untuk Aku. Dan Ia akan berkata juga kepada mereka yang di sebelah kiri-Nya: Enyahlah dari hadapan-Ku, hai kamu orang-orang terkutuk, enyahlah ke dalam api yang kekal yang telah sedia untuk Iblis dan malaikat-malaikatnya. Sebab ketika Aku lapar, kamu tidak memberi Aku makan; ketika Aku haus, kamu tidak memberi Aku minum; ketika Aku seorang asing, kamu tidak memberi Aku tumpangan; ketika Aku telanjang, kamu tidak memberi Aku pakaian; ketika Aku sakit dan dalam penjara, kamu tidak melawat Aku. Lalu merekapun akan menjawab Dia, katanya: Tuhan, bilamanakah kami melihat Engkau lapar, atau haus, atau sebagai orang asing, atau telanjang atau sakit, atau dalam penjara dan kami tidak melayani Engkau? Maka Ia akan menjawab mereka: Aku berkata kepadamu, sesungguhnya segala sesuatu yang tidak kamu lakukan untuk salah seorang dari yang paling hina ini, kamu tidak melakukannya juga untuk Aku. Dan mereka ini akan masuk ke tempat siksaan yang kekal, tetapi orang benar ke dalam hidup yang kekal.”

Unang pagbabasa (Ezekiel 34: 11–12 at 15–17)
ReplyDeleteAng pagbabasa sa aklat ni propetang Ezekiel.
Ito ang ipinapasabi ng Panginoong Yahweh: “Ako mismo ang maghahanap at mag-aalaga sa aking mga tupa. Kung paanong hinahanap ng pastol ang tupa niyang nawawala, gayon ko hahanapin ang aking tupa. Kukunin ko sila saanman sila itinapon noong panahon ng kanilang kasamaan. Ako mismo ang magpapastol sa kanila at hahanap ng kanilang pahingahan. Hahanapin ko ang nawawala, ibabalik ang nalalayo, hihilutin ang napilay, palalakasin ang mahihina, ngunit pupuksain ko ang mga malulusog at malalakas. Ibibigay ko sa kanila ang katarungan. “Sa inyo, aking kawan, ito ang sinasabi ng inyong Diyos na si Yahweh: Ako ang magiging hukom ninyo. Hahatulan ko kayo at ibubukod ang mga tupa sa mga kambing.
Salmong pagtugon (Awit 23) (Bersikulo 1–3 at 5–6)
Ang tugon ay: Panginoon ang aking pastol, hindi ako magkukulang.
• Si Yahweh ang aking pastol, hindi ako magkukulang; pinapahimlay niya ako sa luntiang pastulan.
• Inaakay niya sa tahimik na batisan. Pinapanumbalik ang aking kalakasan, at pinapatnubayan niya sa tamang daan, upang aking parangalan ang kanyang pangalan.
• 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 (1 Corinto 15: 20–26 at 28)
Ang pagbabasa sa unang sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Corinto.
Ngunit sa katunayan si Cristo'y muling binuhay at ito'y katibayan na muli ngang bubuhayin ang mga patay. Kung paanong dumating ang kamatayan sa pamamagitan ng isang tao, gayundin naman, dumating ang muling pagkabuhay sa pamamagitan din ng isang tao. Sapagkat kung paanong namamatay ang lahat dahil sa kanilang kaugnayan kay Adan, gayundin naman, mabubuhay ang lahat dahil sa kanilang kaugnayan kay Cristo. Ngunit ang bawat isa'y may kanya-kanyang takdang panahon. Si Cristo ang pinakauna sa lahat; pagkatapos, ang mga kay Cristo sa panahon ng pagparito niya. At darating ang wakas, kapag naibigay na ni Cristo ang kaharian sa Diyos Ama, pagkatapos niyang malupig ang lahat ng paghahari, pamahalaan at kapangyarihan. Sapagkat si Cristo'y dapat maghari hanggang sa malupig niya at lubusang mapasuko ang kanyang mga kaaway. Ang kahuli-hulihang kaaway na kanyang lulupigin ay ang kamatayan. At kapag ang lahat ay nasa ilalim na ng kapangyarihan ng Anak, ipapailalim naman siya sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos na naglagay ng lahat ng bagay sa ilalim ng kapangyarihan niya. Sa gayon, ang Diyos ay mangingibabaw sa lahat.

DeleteAng magandang balita ayon kay San Mateo.
“Sa maluwalhating pagdating ng Anak ng Tao, kasama ang lahat ng anghel, uupo siya sa kanyang trono ng kaluwalhatian. Tipunin sa harapan niya ang lahat ng mga bansa at sila'y kanyang pagbubukud-bukurin, tulad ng ginagawa ng pastol sa mga tupa at mga kambing. Ilalagay niya sa kanyang kanan ang mga tupa, at sa kaliwa naman ang mga kambing. Kaya't sasabihin ng hari sa mga nasa kanan niya, ‘Halikayo, mga pinagpala ng aking Ama! Pumasok kayo at tanggapin ang kahariang inihanda para sa inyo mula pa nang likhain ang daigdig. Sapagkat ako'y nagugutom at ako'y inyong pinakain; ako'y nauuhaw at ako'y inyong pinainom. Ako'y isang dayuhan at inyong pinatuloy. Ako'y hubad at ako'y inyong dinamitan, nagkasakit at inyong dinalaw, nabilanggo at inyong pinuntahan.’ “Sasagot ang mga matuwid, ‘Panginoon, kailan po namin kayo nakitang nagutom at aming pinakain, o nauhaw at aming pinainom? Kailan po kayo naging dayuhan at aming pinatuloy, o kaya'y hubad at aming dinamitan? At kailan po namin kayo nakitang nagkasakit o nabilanggo at kayo'y aming dinalaw?’ “Sasabihin ng Hari, ‘Tandaan ninyo, nang gawin ninyo ito sa pinakahamak sa mga kapatid kong ito, sa akin ninyo ito ginawa.’ “Sasabihin naman niya sa mga nasa kaliwa, ‘Lumayo kayo sa harapan ko, kayong mga isinumpa! Doon kayo sa apoy na di namamatay na inihanda para sa diyablo at sa kanyang mga kampon. Sapagkat hindi ninyo ako pinakain noong ako'y nagugutom; hindi ninyo ako pinainom noong ako'y nauuhaw. Hindi ninyo ako pinatuloy noong ako'y isang dayuhan. Hindi ninyo ako dinamitan noong ako'y hubad. Hindi ninyo ako dinalaw noong ako'y may sakit at noong ako'y nasa bilangguan.’ “At sasagot din sila, ‘Panginoon, kailan po namin kayo nakitang nagutom, nauhaw, walang matuluyan, hubad, may sakit, o nasa bilangguan, na hindi namin kayo tinulungan?’ “At sasabihin sa kanila ng Hari, ‘Tandaan ninyo, nang pagkaitan ninyo ng tulong ang isa sa pinakahamak sa mga ito, ako ang inyong pinagkaitan.’ Itataboy ang mga ito sa kaparusahang walang hanggan, ngunit ang mga matuwid ay pupunta sa buhay na walang hanggan.”
