First reading (Isaiah 61: 1–2A and 10–11)
A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me; he has sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners, to announce a year of favor from the LORD and a day of vindication by our God. I rejoice heartily in the LORD, in my God is the joy of my soul; for he has clothed me with a robe of salvation and wrapped me in a mantle of justice, like a bridegroom adorned with a diadem, like a bride bedecked with her jewels. As the earth brings forth its plants, and a garden makes its growth spring up, so will the Lord GOD make justice and praise spring up before all the nations.
Second reading (1 Thessalonians 5: 16–24)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians.
Brothers and sisters: Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophetic utterances. Test everything; retain what is good. Refrain from every kind of evil. May the God of peace make you perfectly holy and may you entirely, spirit, soul, and body, be preserved blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will also accomplish it.
Gospel (John 1: 6–8 and 19–28)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
A man named John was sent from God. He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to testify to the light. And this is the testimony of John. When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him to ask him, "Who are you?" He admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, "I am not the Christ." So they asked him, "What are you then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No." So they said to him, "Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you have to say for yourself?" He said: "I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, 'make straight the way of the Lord,'" as Isaiah the prophet said." Some Pharisees were also sent. They asked him, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?" John answered them, "I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie." This happened in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

First Reading (Isaiah 61: 1–2 and 10–11)
A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up broken hearts, to proclaim liberty to the captives, freedom to those languishing in prison; to announce the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God; to give comfort to all who grieve. I rejoice greatly in the Lord, my soul exults for joy in my God, for he has clothed me in the garments of his salvation, he has covered me with the robe of his righteousness, like a bridegroom wearing a garland, like a bride adorned with jewels. For as the earth brings forth its growth, and as a garden makes seeds spring up, so will the Lord God make justice and praise spring up in the sight of all nations.
Second Reading (1 Thessalonians 5: 16–24)
A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians.
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing and give thanks to God at every moment. This is the will of God, your vocation as Christians. Do not quench the Spirit, do not despise the prophets' warnings. Put everything to the test and hold fast to what is good. Avoid evil, wherever it may be. May the God of Peace make you holy and bring you to perfection. May you be completely blameless, in spirit, soul, and body, till the coming of Christ Jesus, our Lord; he who called you is faithful and will do it.
Gospel (John 1: 6–8 and 19–28)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
A man came, sent by God; his name was John. He came to bear witness, as a witness to introduce the Light so that all might believe through him. He was not the Light but a witness to introduce the Light. This was the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites to ask him, "Who are you?" John recognized the truth and did not deny it. He stated, "I am not the Messiah." And they asked him, "Then who are you? Elijah?" He answered, "I am not." They asked, "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No." Then they stated to him, "Tell us who you are, so that we can give some answer to those who sent us. How do you see yourself?" And John stated, quoting the prophet Isaiah, "I am the voice crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord." Those who had been sent were Pharisees; so they put a further question to John: "Then why are you baptizing if you are not the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet?" John answered, "I baptize you with water, but among you stands one whom you do not know; although he comes after me, I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandal." This happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

DeletePrimera lectura (Isaías 61: 1–2 y 10–11)
ReplyDeleteUna lectura del libro del profeta Isaías.
¡El Espíritu del Señor Yahvé está sobre mí! sepan que Yahvé me ha ungido. Me ha enviado con un buen mensaje para los humildes, para sanar los corazones heridos, para anunciar a los desterrados su liberación, y a los presos su vuelta a la luz. Para publicar un año feliz lleno de los favores de Yahvé, y el día del desquite de nuestro Dios. Me envió para consolar a los que lloran. Salto de alegría delante de Yahvé, y mi alma se alegra en mi Dios, pues él me puso ropas de salvación y me abrigó con el chal de la justicia, como el novio se coloca su corona, o como la esposa se arregla con sus joyas. Pues así como brotan de la tierra las semillas o como aparecen las plantitas en el jardín, así el Señor Yahvé hará brotar la justicia y la alabanza a la vista de todas las naciones.
Salmo responsorial (Lucas 1: 46–50 y 53–54)
La respuesta es: Mi alma se alegra en mi Dios.
• María dijo entonces: “Mi alma canta la grandeza del Señor, y mi espíritu se estremece de gozo en Dios, mi salvador, porque el miró con bondad la pequeñez de tu servidora.”
• “En adelante todas las generaciones me llamarán feliz, porque el Todopoderoso he hecho en mí grandes cosas: ¡su Nombre es santo! Su misericordia se extiende de generación en generación sobre aquellos que lo temen.”
• “Colmó de bienes a los hambrientos y despidió a los ricos con las manos vacías. Socorrió a Israel, su servidor, acordándose de su misericordia.”
Segunda lectura (1 Tesalonicenses 5: 16–24)
Una lectura de la primera carta de San Pablo a los tesalonicenses.
Estén siempre alegres. Oren sin cesar. Den gracias a Dios en toda ocasión: esto es lo que Dios quiere de todos ustedes, en Cristo Jesús. No extingan la acción del Espíritu; no desprecien las profecías; examínenlo todo y quédense con lo bueno. Cuídense del mal en todas sus formas. Que el Dios de la paz los santifique plenamente, para que ustedes se conserven irreprochables en todo su ser espíritu, alma y cuerpo. hasta la Venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. El que los llama es fiel, y así lo hará.
Evangelio (Juan 1: 6–8 y 19–28)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el San Juan.
Apareció un hombre enviado por Dios, que se llamaba Juan. Vino como testigo, para dar testimonio de la luz, para que todos creyeran por medio de él. Él no era luz, sino el testigo de la luz. Este es el testimonio que dio Juan, cuando los judíos enviaron sacerdotes y levitas desde Jerusalén, para preguntarle: “¿Quién eres tú?” Él confesó y no lo ocultó, sino que dijo claramente: “Yo no soy el Mesías.” “¿Quién eres, entonces?” Le preguntaron: “¿Eres Elías?” Juan dijo: “No.” “¿Eres el Profeta?” “Tampoco,” respondió. Ellos insistieron: “¿Quién eres, para que podamos dar una respuesta a los que nos han enviado? ¿Qué dices de ti mismo?” Y él les dijo: “Yo soy una voz que grita en el desierto: Allanen el camino del Señor, como dijo el profeta Isaías.” Algunos de los enviados eran fariseos, y volvieron a preguntarle: “¿Por qué bautizas, entonces, si tú no eres el Mesías, ni Elías, ni el Profeta?” Juan respondió: “Yo bautizo con agua, pero en medio de ustedes hay alguien al que ustedes no conocen: él viene después de mí, y yo no soy digno de desatar la correa de su sandalia.” Todo esto sucedió en Betania, al otro lado del Jordán donde Juan bautizaba.
Bacaan pertama (Yesaya 61: 1–2 dan 10–11)
ReplyDeletePembacaan dari kitab dari nabi Yesaya.
Roh Tuhan ALLAH ada padaku, oleh karena TUHAN telah mengurapi aku; Ia telah mengutus aku untuk menyampaikan kabar baik kepada orang-orang sengsara, dan merawat orang-orang yang remuk hati, untuk memberitakan pembebasan kepada orang-orang tawanan, dan kepada orang-orang yang terkurung kelepasan dari penjara, untuk memberitakan tahun rahmat TUHAN dan hari pembalasan Allah kita, untuk menghibur semua orang berkabung. Aku bersukaria di dalam TUHAN, jiwaku bersorak-sorai di dalam Allahku, sebab Ia mengenakan pakaian keselamatan kepadaku dan menyelubungi aku dengan jubah kebenaran, seperti pengantin laki-laki yang mengenakan perhiasan kepala dan seperti pengantin perempuan yang memakai perhiasannya. Sebab seperti bumi memancarkan tumbuh-tumbuhan, dan seperti kebun menumbuhkan benih yang ditaburkan, demikianlah Tuhan ALLAH akan menumbuhkan kebenaran dan puji-pujian di depan semua bangsa-bangsa.
Mazmur (Lukas 1: 46–50 dan 53–54)
Tanggapan adalah: Jiwaku bergembira karena Allahku.
• Lalu kata Maria: Jiwaku memuliakan Tuhan, dan hatiku bergembira karena Allah, Juruselamatku, sebab Ia telah memperhatikan kerendahan hamba-Nya.
• Sesungguhnya, mulai dari sekarang segala keturunan akan menyebut aku berbahagia, karena Yang Mahakuasa telah melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan besar kepadaku dan nama-Nya adalah kudus. Dan rahmat-Nya turun-temurun atas orang yang takut akan Dia.
• Ia melimpahkan segala yang baik kepada orang yang lapar, dan menyuruh orang yang kaya pergi dengan tangan hampa; Ia menolong Israel, hamba-Nya, karena Ia mengingat rahmat-Nya.
Bacaan kedua (1 Tesalonika 5: 16–24)
Pembacaan dari surat Paulus kepada jemaat di Tesalonika.
Bersukacitalah senantiasa. Tetaplah berdoa. Mengucap syukurlah dalam segala hal, sebab itulah yang dikehendaki Allah di dalam Kristus Yesus bagi kamu. Janganlah padamkan Roh, dan janganlah anggap rendah nubuat-nubuat. Ujilah segala sesuatu dan peganglah yang baik. Jauhkanlah dirimu dari segala jenis kejahatan. Semoga Allah damai sejahtera menguduskan kamu seluruhnya dan semoga roh, jiwa dan tubuhmu terpelihara sempurna dengan tak bercacat pada kedatangan Yesus Kristus, Tuhan kita. Ia yang memanggil kamu adalah setia, Ia juga akan menggenapinya.
Bacaan Injil (Yohanes 1: 6–8 dan 19–28)
Pembacaan dari Injil kudus menurut Santo Yohanes.
Datanglah seorang yang diutus Allah, namanya Yohanes; ia datang sebagai saksi untuk memberi kesaksian tentang terang itu, supaya oleh dia semua orang menjadi percaya. Ia bukan terang itu, tetapi ia harus memberi kesaksian tentang terang itu. Dan inilah kesaksian Yohanes ketika orang Yahudi dari Yerusalem mengutus beberapa imam dan orang-orang Lewi kepadanya untuk menanyakan dia: “Siapakah engkau?” Ia mengaku dan tidak berdusta, katanya: “Aku bukan Mesias.” Lalu mereka bertanya kepadanya: “Kalau begitu, siapakah engkau? Elia?” Dan ia menjawab: “Bukan!” “Engkaukah nabi yang akan datang?” Dan ia menjawab: “Bukan!” Maka kata mereka kepadanya: “Siapakah engkau? Sebab kami harus memberi jawab kepada mereka yang mengutus kami. Apakah katamu tentang dirimu sendiri?” Jawabnya: “Akulah suara orang yang berseru-seru di padang gurun: Luruskanlah jalan Tuhan! seperti yang telah dikatakan nabi Yesaya.” Dan di antara orang-orang yang diutus itu ada beberapa orang Farisi. Mereka bertanya kepadanya, katanya: “Mengapakah engkau membaptis, jikalau engkau bukan Mesias, bukan Elia, dan bukan nabi yang akan datang?” Yohanes menjawab mereka, katanya: “Aku membaptis dengan air; tetapi di tengah-tengah kamu berdiri Dia yang tidak kamu kenal, yaitu Dia, yang datang kemudian dari padaku. Membuka tali kasut-Nyapun aku tidak layak.” Hal itu terjadi di Betania yang di seberang sungai Yordan, di mana Yohanes membaptis.
Unang pagbabasa (Isaias 61: 1–2 at 10–11)
ReplyDeleteAng pagbabasa sa aklat ni propetang Isaias.
Ang Espiritu ng Panginoong Yahweh ay sumasaakin sapagkat ako'y kanyang hinirang; sinugo niya ako upang dalhin ang Magandang Balita sa mga inaapi, upang pagalingin ang mga sugatang-puso, upang ipahayag sa mga bihag at sa mga bilanggo na sila'y lalaya. Sinugo niya ako upang ipahayag na darating na ang panahon ng pagliligtas ni Yahweh; at ang paghihiganti ng Diyos laban sa kanyang mga kaaway; sinugo niya ako upang aliwin ang mga nagluluksa. Buong puso akong nagagalak kay Yahweh. Dahil sa Diyos ako'y magpupuri sapagkat sinuotan niya ako ng damit ng kaligtasan, at balabal ng katuwiran, gaya ng lalaking ikakasal na ang palamuti sa ulo'y magagandang bulaklak, gaya ng babaing ikakasal na nakasuot ng mga alahas. Kung paanong sa lupa'y sumisibol ang halaman, at sa hardin ay lumilitaw ang binhing itinanim, ipapakita ng Panginoong Yahweh, ang kanyang katuwiran at papuri sa harap ng lahat ng bansa.
Salmong pagtugon (Lucas 1: 46–50 at 53–54)
Ang tugon ay: Sa Panginoon nagagalak ang aking kaluluwa.
• Ang puso ko'y nagpupuri sa Panginoon, at ang aking espiritu'y nagagalak sa Diyos na aking Tagapagligtas, sapagkat nilingap niya akong kanyang abang alipin!
• Mula ngayon, ang lahat ng tao'y tatawagin akong pinagpala; dahil sa mga dakilang bagay na ginawa sa akin ng Makapangyarihan. Banal ang kanyang pangalan! Ang kanyang kahabagan ay para sa lahat ng salinlahing may takot sa kanya.
• Pinasagana niya sa mabubuting bagay ang mga kapus-palad, at pinaalis nang walang dalang anuman ang mga mayayaman. Tinulungan niya ang Israel na kanyang lingkod, at hindi niya kinalimutang kahabagan ito.
Pangalawang pagbabasa (1 Tesalonica 5: 16–24)
Ang pagbabasa sa unang sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Tesalonica.
Magalak kayong lagi, palagi kayong manalangin, at magpasalamat kayo sa Diyos sa lahat ng pagkakataon; sapagkat ito ang kalooban ng Diyos para sa inyo sa inyong pakikipag-isa kay Cristo Jesus. Huwag ninyong hadlangan ang Espiritu Santo. Huwag ninyong baliwalain ang anumang pahayag mula sa Diyos. Suriin ninyo ang lahat ng bagay at panghawakan ang mabuti. Lumayo kayo sa lahat ng uri ng kasamaan. Nawa'y lubusan kayong gawing banal ng Diyos na siyang nagbibigay ng kapayapaan. At nawa'y panatilihin niyang walang kapintasan ang buo ninyong katauhan, ang espiritu, kaluluwa at katawan, hanggang sa pagparito ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo. Tapat ang tumawag sa inyo, at gagawin niya ito.
Ebanghelyo (Juan 1: 6–8 at 19–28)
Ang magandang balita ayon kay San Juan.
Sinugo ng Diyos ang isang tao na nagngangalang Juan. Naparito siya upang magpatotoo tungkol sa ilaw at upang ang lahat ay sumampalataya sa pamamagitan niya. Hindi siya ang ilaw subalit naparito siya upang magpatotoo tungkol sa ilaw. Ang mga pinuno ng mga Judio sa Jerusalem ay nagsugo ng mga pari at Levita upang itanong kay Juan kung sino nga ba siya. Hindi nagkaila si Juan; sa halip ay maliwanag niyang sinabi, “Hindi ako ang Cristo.” “Sino ka kung gayon?” tanong nila. “Ikaw ba si Elias?” “Hindi ako si Elias,” tugon niya. “Ikaw ba ang Propeta?” Sumagot siya, “Hindi rin.” “Sino ka kung gayon? Sabihin mo kung sino ka upang may masabi kami sa mga nagsugo sa amin. Ano ang masasabi mo tungkol sa iyong sarili?” tanong nilang muli. Sumagot si Juan ayon sa nasusulat sa aklat ni Propeta Isaias, “Ako ang tinig ng isang taong sumisigaw sa ilang, ‘Tuwirin ninyo ang daraanan ng Panginoon.’” Ang mga nagtanong ay sugo ng mga Pariseo. Muli nilang tinanong si Juan, “Bakit ka nagbabautismo, gayong hindi naman pala ikaw ang Cristo, o si Elias, o ang Propeta?” Sumagot si Juan, “Ako'y nagbabautismo sa tubig, ngunit nasa inyong kalagitnaan ang isang hindi ninyo nakikilala. Dumarating siyang kasunod ko subalit hindi man lamang ako karapat-dapat na magkalag ng tali ng kanyang sandalyas.” Ang mga ito'y nangyari sa Bethania, sa silangan ng Ilog Jordan na pinagbabautismuhan ni Juan.
This is the Collect (Opening Prayer) for the 3rd Sunday of Advent.
