Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible readings
First reading (Wisdom 3: 1–9)
A reading from the book of Wisdom.
The souls of the just are in the hands of God and no torment shall touch them. In the eyes of the unwise, they appear to be dead. Their going is held as a disaster; it seems that they lose everything by departing from us, but they are in peace. Though seemingly they have been punished, immortality was the soul of their hope. After slight affliction will come great blessings, for God has tried them and found them worthy to be with him; after testing them as gold in the furnace, he has accepted them as a holocaust. At the time of his coming, they will shine like sparks that run in the stubble. They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will be their king forever. Those who trust in him will penetrate the truth; those who are faithful will live with him in love, for his grace and mercy are for his chosen ones.
Second reading (Romans 5: 5–11) (Option 1)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
Hope does not us because the Holy Spirit has been given to us, pouring into our hearts the love of God. Consider, moreover, the time that Christ died for us: when we were still sinners and unable to do anything. Few would accept to die for an upright person; although, for a very good person, perhaps someone would dare to die. But see how God manifested his love for us: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us and we have become just his blood. With much more reason now he will save us from any condemnation. Once enemies, we have been reconciled with God through the death of his Son; with much more reason now we may be saved through his life. Not only that; we secure in God because of Christ Jesus, our Lord, through whom we have been reconciled.
Second reading (Romans 6: 3–9) (Option 2)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
You know that in baptism which unites us to Christ we are all baptized and plunged into his death. By this baptism in his death, we were buried with Christ and, as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Glory of the Father, so we begin walking in a new life. It was an image of his death when we were grafted in him, and so we will also share in his resurrection. We know that our old self was crucified with Christ, so as to destroy what of us was sin, so that we may no longer serve sin — if we are dead, we are no longer in debt to sin. But if we have died with Christ, we believe we will also live with him. We know that Christ, once risen from the dead, will not die again and death has no more dominion over him.
Gospel (John 6: 37–40)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
Jesus stated to the Jews: "Yet, all that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me, I shall not turn away. For I have come from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of the One who sent me. And the will of him who sent me is that I lose nothing of what he has given me, but instead that I raise it up on the last day. This is the will of the Father, that whoever sees the Son and believes in him shall live with eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day."

First reading (Wisdom 3: 1–9)
A reading from the book of
Wisdom.
The souls of the just are in
the hand of God, and no torment shall touch them. They seemed, in the view of
the foolish, to be dead; and their passing away was thought an affliction and
their going forth from us, utter destruction. But they are in peace. For if
before men, indeed, they be punished, yet is their hope full of immortality; chastised
a little, they shall be greatly blessed, because God tried them and found them
worthy of himself. As gold in the furnace, he proved them, and as sacrificial
offerings he took them to himself. In the time of their visitation they shall
shine, and shall dart about as sparks through stubble; they shall judge nations
and rule over peoples, and the LORD shall be their King forever. Those who
trust in him shall understand truth, and the faithful shall abide with him in
love: because grace and mercy are with his holy ones, and his care is with his
elect.
Second reading (Romans 5: 5–11) (Option 1)
Second reading (Romans 5: 5–11) (Option 1)
A reading from the letter of
Saint Paul to the Romans.
Brothers and sisters: Hope
does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. For Christ, while we were
still helpless, died at the appointed time for the ungodly. Indeed, only with
difficulty does one die for a just person, though perhaps for a good person one
might even find courage to die. But God proves his love for us in that while we
were still sinners Christ died for us. How much more then, since we are now
justified by his Blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath. Indeed,
if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his
Son, how much more, once reconciled, will we be saved by his life. Not only
that, but we also boast of God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we
have now received reconciliation.
Second reading (Romans 6: 3–9) (Option 2)
Second reading (Romans 6: 3–9) (Option 2)
A reading from the letter of
Saint Paul to the Romans.
Brothers and sisters: Are
you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his
death? We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just
as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live
in newness of life. For if we have grown into union with him through a death
like his, we shall also be united with him in the resurrection. We know that
our old self was crucified with him, so that our sinful body might be done away
with, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin. For a dead person has been
absolved from sin. If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall
also live with him. We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death
no longer has power over him.
Gospel (John 6: 37–40)
Gospel (John 6: 37–40)
A reading from the holy
Gospel according to John.
Jesus said to the Jews: "Everything that
the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to
me, because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the
one who sent me. And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not
lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it [on] the last day.
For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes
in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him [on] the last day."

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 23) (Verses 1–6)
ReplyDeleteThe response is:The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. Alternatively: Though I walk in the valley of darkness, I fear no evil, for you are with me.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. In verdant pastures he gives me repose; beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul.
He guides me in right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for you are at my side with your rod and your staff that give me courage.
You spread the table before me in the sight of my foes; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for years to come.

DeletePrimera lectura (Sabiduría 3: 1–9)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro de Sabiduría.
Las almas de los justos están en las manos de Dios, y no los afectará ningún tormento. A los ojos de los insensatos parecían muertos; su partida de este mundo fue considerada una desgracia y su alejamiento de nosotros, una completa destrucción; pero ellos están en paz. A los ojos de los hombres, ellos fueron castigados, pero su esperanza estaba colmada de inmortalidad. Por una leve corrección, recibirán grandes beneficios, porque Dios los puso a prueba y los encontró dignos de él. Los probó como oro en el crisol y los aceptó como un holocausto. Por eso brillarán cuando Dios los visite, y se extenderán como chispas por los rastrojos. Juzgarán a las naciones y dominarán a los pueblos, y el Señor será su rey para siempre. Los que confían en él comprenderán la verdad y los que le son fieles permanecerán junto a él en el amor. Porque la gracia y la misericordia son para sus elegidos.
Salmo responsorial (Salmo 23) (Versículos 1–6)
La respuesta es: El Señor es mi pastor, nada me puede faltar. (Aunque cruce por oscuras quebradas, no temeré ningún mal, porque tú estás conmigo.)
• 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 (Romanos 5: 5–11) (Opción 1)
Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los romanos.
Y la esperanza no quedará defraudada, porque el amor de Dios ha sido derramado en nuestros corazones por el Espíritu Santo, que nos ha sido dado. En efecto, cuando todavía éramos débiles, Cristo, en el tiempo señalado, murió por los pecadores. Difícilmente se encuentra alguien que dé su vida por un hombre justo; tal vez alguno sea capaz de morir por un bienhechor. Pero la prueba de que Dios nos ama es que Cristo murió por nosotros cuando todavía éramos pecadores. Y ahora que estamos justificados por su sangre, con mayor razón seremos librados por él de la ira de Dios. Porque si siendo enemigos, fuimos reconciliados con Dios por la muerte de su Hijo, mucho más ahora que estamos reconciliados, seremos salvados por su vida. Y esto no es todo: nosotros nos gloriamos en Dios, por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, por quien desde ahora hemos recibido la reconciliación.
Segunda lectura (Romanos 6: 3–9) (Opción 2)
DeleteUna lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los romanos.
¿No saben ustedes que todos los que fuimos bautizados en Cristo Jesús, nos hemos sumergido en su muerte? Por el bautismo fuimos sepultados con él en la muerte, para que así como Cristo resucitó por la gloria del Padre, también nosotros llevemos una vida nueva. Porque si nos hemos identificado con Cristo por una muerte semejante a la suya, también nos identificaremos con él en la resurrección. Comprendámoslo: nuestro hombre viejo ha sido crucificado con él, para que fuera destruido este cuerpo de pecado, y así dejáramos de ser esclavos del pecado. Porque el que está muerto, no debe nada al pecado. Pero si hemos muerto con Cristo, creemos que también viviremos con él. Sabemos que Cristo, después de resucitar, no muere más, porque la muerte ya no tiene poder sobre él.
Evangelio (Juan 6: 37–40)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Juan.
Jesús les contó a los judíos: “Todo lo que me da el Padre viene a mí, y al que venga a mí yo no lo rechazaré, porque he bajado del cielo, no para hacer mi voluntad, sino la del que me envió. La voluntad del que me ha enviado es que yo no pierda nada de lo que él me dio, sino que lo resucite en el último día. Esta es la voluntad de mi Padre: que el que ve al Hijo y cree en él, tenga Vida eterna y que yo lo resucite en el último día.”
Alleluia, alleluia.
ReplyDeleteCome, you who are blessed by my Father; inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

ReplyDeleteThe response is: The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. Alternatively: Though I walk in the valley of darkness, I fear no evil, for you are with me.
— The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside the still waters, he restores my soul.
— He guides me through the right paths for his name's sake. Although I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for you are beside me: your rod and your staff comfort me.

— 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.
