Lectura apostólica
The Epistle
Domingo Por los antepasados.
Sunday For the Forefathers.
Lectura de la carta de san Pablo a los Colosenses.
The reading is from Paul’s Letter to the Colossians.
Col. 3:4-11
Col. 3:4 – 11
Hermanos, cuando aparezca Cristo, vida suya, entonces también ustedes aparecerán gloriosos con él. Por tanto, den muerte a todo lo terreno que haya en ustedes: fornicación, impureza, pasiones, malos deseos y la codicia, que es una idolatría, todo lo cual atrae la ira de Dios sobre los rebeldes. También ustedes practicaron eso en otro tiempo, y vivían de ese modo. Mas ahora, desechen todo esto: cólera, ira, maldad, maledicencia y obscenidades; ni lo mencionen siquiera. No se mientan unos a otros, pues se han despojado del hombre viejo, con sus obras, y se han revestido del hombre nuevo, que se va renovando hasta alcanzar un conocimiento perfecto, según la imagen de su Creador. Para Él no hay griego o judío; circuncisión o incircuncisión; bárbaro, escita, esclavo o libre, pues Cristo es todo y está en todos. [BJ-SAOGM]
Brethren, when Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. In these you once walked, when you lived in them. But now put them all away; anger, wrath, malice, slander, and foul talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old nature with its practices and have put on the new nature, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Here there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free man, but Christ is all, and in all. [RSV]

Lectura del santo Evangelio según san Lucas.

Lc. 14:16-24
Lk. 14:16 – 24
Dijo el Señor esta parábola: «Un hombre dio una gran cena y convidó a muchos. A la hora de la cena, envió a su siervo a decir a los invitados: ‘Vengan, que ya está todo preparado.’ Pero todos a una empezaron a excusarse. El primero le dijo: ‘He comprado un campo y tengo que ir a verlo. Te ruego que me dispenses.’ Otro dijo: ‘He comprado cinco yuntas de bueyes y voy a probarlas. Te ruego que me dispenses.’ Otro dijo: ‘Me acabo de casar, y por eso no puedo ir.’ «Regresó el siervo y se lo contó a su señor. Entonces, el dueño de la casa, airado, dijo a su siervo: ‘Sal en seguida a las plazas y calles del pueblo, y haz entrar aquí a los pobres y lisiados, a ciegos y cojos.’ Respondió el siervo: ‘Señor, se ha hecho lo que mandaste, y todavía hay sitio.’ Dijo entonces el señor al siervo: ‘Sal a los caminos y cercas, y obliga a la gente a entrar, hasta que se llene mi casa.’ Porque les digo que ninguno de aquellos invitados probará mi cena. Porque muchos son llamados, mas pocos escogidos» [BJ-SAOGM]
The Lord said this parable: “A man once gave a great banquet, and invited many; and at the time of the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come; for all is now ready.’ But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I go out and see it; I pray you, have me excused.’ And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go to examine them; I pray you, have me excused.’ And another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’ So the servant came and reported this to his master. Then the householder in anger said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and maimed and blind and lame.’ And the servant said, ‘Sir, what you commanded has been done, and there is still room.’ And the master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled. For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet. For many are called, but few are chosen.’” [RSV]

The Epistle
Por los mártires.
For the Martyrs.
Lectura
The reading is from Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians.
Eph. 6:10 – 17
Brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand, therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of peace; with all of these, taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. [RSV]
