GOSPEL OF THE DAY
From the Gospel according to Luke
10:25-37

There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test Jesus and said, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” He said in reply, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” He replied to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.”

But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. Likewise a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side.

But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight. He approached the victim, poured oil and w**e over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn, and cared for him.

The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, ‘Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.’

Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?” He answered, “The one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

El Cáliz Peregrino comienza su recorrido por nuestros hogares

«La cosecha es abundante, pero los obreros son pocos. Rueguen, pues, al dueño de la cosecha que envíe obreros a su cosecha». (Lucas 10, 2)

Hoy nuestro Cáliz Peregrino ha comenzado a visitar los hogares de nuestra parroquia, invitando a las familias a unirse en oración por las diferentes vocaciones. Durante este mes de octubre, dedicado al Santo Rosario, rezaremos de manera especial por quienes sienten el llamado del Señor Jesús, para que respondan con fe, amor y generosidad.

Gracias a todas las familias que, con mucho amor, recibirán el Cáliz Peregrino en sus hogares y dedicarán un tiempo a orar juntos. ¡Que cada hogar sea un lugar de oración donde florezcan las vocaciones!

GOSPEL OF THE DAY
From the Gospel according to Matthew
21:33-43

Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people: “Hear another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a w**e press in it, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenants and went on a journey.

When vintage time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to obtain his produce. But the tenants seized the servants and one they beat, another they killed, and a third they stoned. Again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first ones, but they treated them in the same way.

Finally, he sent his son to them, thinking, ‘They will respect my son.’ But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and acquire his inheritance.’ They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

What will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants when he comes?” They answered him, “He will put those wretched men to a wretched death and lease his vineyard to other tenants who will give him the produce at the proper times.”

Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures: The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes? Therefore, I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit.”

The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

GOSPEL OF THE DAY
From the Gospel according to Luke
10:17-24

The seventy-two disciples returned rejoicing and said to Jesus, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us because of your name.” Jesus said, “I have observed Satan fall like lightning from the sky. Behold, I have given you the power ‘to tread upon serpents’ and scorpions and upon the full force of the enemy and nothing will harm you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

At that very moment he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I give you praise, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”

Turning to the disciples in private he said, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I say to you, many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.”

The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

¡UNA HORA SANTA LLENA DE FE Y ESPERANZA!

Ayer, jueves, vivimos una hermosa Hora Santa dirigida por el Comité Vocacional, que compartió con nosotros su carisma y su amor al Señor. Los cantos y el rezo de las vísperas nos unieron en oración, y el hermoso mensaje del Sr. Waldo Alvarado nos llevó a recorrer la vida de Santa Teresita del Niño Jesús.

¡Gracias al Comité Vocacional, al Sr. Waldo Alvarado y a todos los que participaron en este encuentro con el Señor Jesús!

Recuerde que todos los jueves, el Santísimo Sacramento está expuesto en nuestra Capilla San Antonio, después de la Misa de las 7:00 a. m. hasta las 8:00 p. m. Rezamos el Santo Rosario a las 6:00 p. m. y celebramos la Hora Santa a las 7:00 p. m., dirigida por los grupos de la parroquia. Concluimos con la bendición con el Santísimo a las 8:00 p. m.

¡El Señor Jesús lo espera todos los jueves! Venga a compartir con Él un momento de oración y paz.
