Date: January 21, 2018

New American Bible readings
First reading (Jonah 3: 1–5, 10)
The word of the LORD came to Jonah, saying: "Set out for the great city of Nineveh, and announce to it the message that I will tell you." So Jonah made ready and went to Nineveh, according to the LORD'S bidding. Now Nineveh was an enormously large city; it took three days to go through it. Jonah began his journey through the city, and had gone but a single day's walk announcing, "Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed," when the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth. When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way, he repented of the evil that he had threatened to do to them; he did not carry it out.

Second reading (1 Corinthians 7: 29–31)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
I tell you, brothers and sisters, the time is running out. From now on, let those having wives act as not having them, those weeping as not weeping, those rejoicing as not rejoicing, those buying as not owning, those using the world as not using it fully. For the world in its present form is passing away.

Gospel (Mark 1: 14–20)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark.
After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God: "This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel." As he passed by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea; they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men." Then they abandoned their nets and followed him. He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets. Then he called them. So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him.

First reading (Jonah 3: 1–5, 10)
A reading from the book of Jonah.
The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: "Go to Nineveh, the great city, and announce to them the message I give you." In obedience to the word of the Lord, Jonah went to Nineveh. It was a very large city, and it took three days just to cross it. So Jonah walked a single day's journey and began proclaiming, "Forty days more and Nineveh will be destroyed." The people of the city believed God. They declared a fast, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth. When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he had compassion and did not carry out the destruction he had threatened upon them.

Second reading (1 Corinthians 7: 29–31)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
I state this, brothers and sisters: time is running out, and those who are married must live as if not married; those who weep as if not weeping; those who are happy as if they were not happy; those buying something as if they had not bought it; and those enjoying the present life as if they were not enjoying it, for the order of this world is vanishing.

Gospel (Mark 1: 14–20)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark.
After John was arrested, Jesus went into Galilee and began preaching the Good News of God. He stated, "The time has come; the kingdom of God is at hand. Change your ways and believe in the Good News." As Jesus was walking along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net in the lake, for they were fishermen. And Jesus stated to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fish for people." At once, they left their nets and followed him. Jesus went a little farther on and saw James and John, the sons of Zebedee; they were in their boat mending their nets. Immediately, Jesus called them and they followed him, leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men.

  1. Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 25) (Verses 4–9)
    The response is: Teach me your ways, O Lord.

    Teach me your ways, O Lord; make known to me your paths. Guide me in your truth and instruct me, for you are my God, my savior; I hope in you all day long.

    Remember your compassion, O Lord, your unfailing love of old. Remember not the sins of my youth, but in your love remember me.

    Good and upright, the Lord teaches sinners his way. He teaches the humble of heart and guides them in what is right.

  2. Primera lectura (Jonás 3: 1–5 y 10)
    Una lectura del libro de Jonás.
    La palabra del Señor fue dirigida por segunda vez a Jonás, en estos términos: “Parte ahora mismo para Nínive, la gran ciudad, y anúnciale el mensaje que yo te indicaré.” Jonás partió para Nínive, conforme a la palabra del Señor. Nínive era una ciudad enormemente grande: se necesitaban tres días para recorrerla. Jonás comenzó a internarse en la ciudad y caminó durante todo un día, proclamando: “Dentro de cuarenta días, Nínive será destruida.” Los ninivitas creyeron en Dios, decretaron un ayuno y se vistieron con ropa de penitencia, desde el más grande hasta el más pequeño.

    Salmo responsorial (Salmo 25) (Versículos 4–9)
    La respuesta es: Muéstrame tus caminos, Señor.
    • Muéstrame, Señor, tus caminos, enséñame tus senderos. Guíame por el camino de tu fidelidad; enséñame, porque tú eres mi Dios y mi salvador, y yo espero en ti todo el día.
    • Acuérdate, Señor, de tu compasión y de tu amor, porque son eternos. No recuerdes los pecados ni las rebeldías de mi juventud: por tu bondad, Señor, acuérdate de mí, según tu fidelidad.
    • El Señor es bondadoso y recto: por eso muestra el camino a los extraviados; él guía a los humildes para que obren rectamente y enseña su camino a los pobres.

    Segunda lectura (1 Corintios 7: 29–31)
    Una lectura de la primera carta de san Pablo a los corintios.
    Lo que quiero decir, hermanos, es esto: queda poco tiempo. Mientras tanto, los que tienen mujer vivan como si no la tuvieran; los que lloran, como si no lloraran; lo que se alegran, como si no se alegraran; los que compran, como si no poseyeran nada; los que disfrutan del mundo, como si no disfrutaran. Porque la apariencia de este mundo es pasajera.

    Evangelio (Marcos 1: 14–20)
    Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el san Marcos.
    Después de que tomaron preso a Juan, Jesús fue a Galilea y empezó a proclamar la Buena Nueva de Dios. Decía: “El tiempo se ha cumplido, el Reino de Dios está cerca. Renuncien a su mal camino y crean en la Buena Nueva.” Mientras Jesús pasaba por la orilla del mar de Galilea, vio a Simón y a su hermano Andrés que echaban las redes en el mar, pues eran pescadores. Jesús les dijo: “Síganme y yo los haré pescadores de hombres.” Y de inmediato dejaron sus redes y le siguieron. Un poco más allá Jesús vio a Santiago, hijo de Zebedeo, con su hermano Juan, que estaban en su barca arreglando las redes. Jesús también los llamó, y ellos, dejando a su padre Zebedeo en la barca con los ayudantes, lo siguieron.

    1. Primera lectura (Jonás 3: 1–5 y 10)
      Una lectura del libro de Jonás.
      En aquellos días, el Señor volvió a hablar a Jonás y le dijo: "Levántate y vete a Nínive, la gran capital, para anunciar ahí el mensaje que te voy a indicar." Se levantó Jonás y se fue a Nínive, como le había mandado el Señor. Nínive era una ciudad enorme: hacían falta tres días para recorrerla. Jonás caminó por la ciudad durante un día, pregonando: "Dentro de cuarenta días Nínive será destruida." Los ninivitas creyeron en Dios, ordenaron un ayuno y se vistieron de sayal, grandes y pequeños. Cuando Dios vio sus obras y cómo se convertían de su mala vida, cambió de parecer y no les mandó el castigo que había determinado imponerles.

      Salmo responsorial (Salmo 25) (Versículos 4–9)
      La respuesta es: Descúbrenos, Señor, tus caminos.
      • Descúbrenos, Señor, tus caminos, guíanos con la verdad de su doctrina. Tú eres nuestro Dios y salvador y tenemos en ti nuestra esperanza.
      • Acuérdate, Señor, que son eternos tu amor y tu ternura. Según ese amor y esa ternura, acuérdate de nosotros.
      • Porque el Señor es recto y bondadoso, indica a los pecadores el sendero, guía por la senda recta a los humildes y descubre a los pobres sus caminos.

      Segunda lectura (1 Corintios 7: 29–31)
      Una lectura de la primera carta de san Pablo a los corintios.
      Hermanos: Les quiero decir una cosa: la vida es corta. Por tanto, conviene que los casados vivan como si no lo estuvieran; los que sufren, como si no sufrieran; los que están alegres, como si no se alegraran; los que compran, como si no compraran; los que disfrutan del mundo, como si no disfrutaran de él; porque este mundo que vemos es pasajero.

      Evangelio (Marcos 1: 14–20)
      Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el san Marcos.
      Después de que arrestaron a Juan el Bautista, Jesús se fue a Galilea para predicar el Evangelio de Dios y decía: "Se ha cumplido el tiempo y el Reino de Dios ya está cerca. Arrepiéntanse y crean en el Evangelio." Caminaba Jesús por la orilla del lago de Galilea, cuando vio a Simón y a su hermano, Andrés, echando las redes en el lago, pues eran pescadores. Jesús les dijo: "Síganme y haré de ustedes pescadores de hombres." Inmediatamente dejaron las redes y lo siguieron. Un poco más adelante, vio a Santiago y a Juan, hijos de Zebedeo, que estaban en una barca, remendando sus redes. Los llamó, y ellos, dejando en la barca a su padre con los trabajadores, se fueron con Jesús.

  3. Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 25) (Verses 4–9)
    The response is: Teach me your ways, O Lord.
    Your ways, O LORD, make known to me; teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior.

    Remember that your compassion, O LORD, and your love are from of old. In your kindness remember me, because of your goodness, O LORD.

    Good and upright is the LORD; thus he shows sinners the way. He guides the humble to justice and teaches the humble his way.

  5. Unang pagbabasa (Jonas 3: 1–5 at 10)
    Ang pagbabasa sa aklat ni Jonas.
    Muling sinabi ni Yahweh kay Jonas, “Pumunta ka sa Lunsod ng Nineve at ipahayag mo ang mga ipinapasabi ko sa iyo.” Nagpunta nga si Jonas sa Nineve. Malaki ang lunsod na ito; aabutin ng tatlong araw kung ito ay lalakarin. Siya'y pumasok sa lunsod. Pagkaraan ng maghapong paglalakad, malakas niyang ipinahayag, “Gugunawin ang Nineve pagkaraan ng apatnapung araw!” Naniwala ang mga tagaroon sa pahayag na ito mula sa Diyos. Kaya, nag-ayuno silang lahat at nagdamit ng panluksa bilang tanda ng lubos na pagsisisi at pagtalikod sa kanilang mga kasalanan. Nakita ng Diyos ang kanilang pagtalikod sa kasamaan kaya hindi na niya pinarusahan ang mga ito tulad ng kanyang naunang sinabi.

    Pangalawang pagbabasa (1 Corinto 7: 29–31)
    Ang pagbabasa sa unang sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Corinto.
    Mga kapatid, ito ang ibig kong sabihin: malapit na ang wakas ng panahon, kaya't mula ngayon, ang may asawa ay mamuhay na parang walang asawa; ang mga nananangis, na parang di nananangis; ang mga nagagalak, na parang di nagagalak; ang mga bumibili, na parang walang ari-arian, at ang mga gumagamit ng mga bagay ng sanlibutan, na para bang hindi nangangailangang gamitin ang mga ito. Sapagkat ang lahat ng bagay sa daigdig na ito'y hindi na magtatagal.

    Ebanghelyo (Marcos 1: 14–20)
    Ang magandang balita ayon kay San Marcos.
    Nang ibinilanggo si Juan, nagpunta si Jesus sa Galilea at ipinangaral doon ang Magandang Balitang mula sa Diyos. Sinabi niya, “Dumating na ang takdang panahon. Malapit nang maghari ang Diyos! Kaya magsisi na kayo't talikuran ang inyong mga kasalanan. Paniwalaan ninyo ang Magandang Balita!” Habang naglalakad si Jesus sa tabi ng Lawa ng Galilea, nakita niya ang magkapatid na Simon at Andres na nanghuhuli ng isda sa pamamagitan ng lambat. Sila'y kapwa mga mangingisda. Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Sumunod kayo sa akin at kayo'y gagawin kong mangingisda ng mga tao.” Pagkasabi niya nito'y agad iniwan ng magkapatid ang kanilang mga lambat at sumunod sa kanya. Nagpatuloy siya sa paglalakad, at sa di-kalayuan ay nakita naman niya ang magkapatid na Santiago at Juan, na mga anak ni Zebedeo. Sila'y nasa kanilang bangka at nag-aayos ng mga lambat. Tinawag din sila agad ni Jesus at sila ay sumunod din sa kanya. Iniwan nila sa bangka ang kanilang ama na kasama ang kanilang mga upahang manggagawa.
