Gloria

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to

people of good will. We praise you, we bless you,

we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks

for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O

God, almighty Father.�

Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God,

Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away

the sins of the world, have mercy on us; you take

away the sins of the world, receive our prayer;

you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have

mercy on us.�

For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the

Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ,

with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the �

Father. � � � � Amen.�

�

Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of

heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.�

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten

Son of God, born of the Father before all ages.�

God from God, Light from Light, true God from true

God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the�

Father; through him all things were made. For us

men and for our salvation he came down from�

heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the

Virgin Mary, and became man.�

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,�

he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on

the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.�

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right

hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to

judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will

have no end.�

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of

life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who

with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.�

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic

Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness

of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the

dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.�

September 26, 2021 Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

1st Reading Num 11: 25-29

The LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to �

Moses. Taking some of the spirit that was on Moses,�

the LORD bestowed it on the seventy elders; and as

the spirit came to rest on them, they prophesied.�

Now two men, one named Eldad and the other

Medad, were not in the gathering but had been left in

the camp. They too had been on the list, but had not

gone out to the tent; yet the spirit came to rest on

them also, and they prophesied in the camp. �

So, when a young man quickly told Moses, "Eldad

and Medad are prophesying in the camp, " Joshua,

son of Nun, who from his youth had been Moses’

aide, said, "Moses, my lord, stop them." But Moses

answered him, "Are you jealous for my sake? Would

that all the people of the LORD were prophets!

Would that the LORD might bestow his spirit on

them all!"�

�

Responsorial Ps 19: 8, 10,12-13, 14 (9a)

The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.

2nd Reading Jas 5: 1-6�

�

Come now, you rich, weep and wail over your �

impending miseries. Your wealth has rotted away, your

clothes have become moth�eaten, your gold and silver

have corroded, and that corrosion will be a testimony

against you; it will devour your flesh like a fire. You

have stored up treasure for the last days. Behold, the

wages you withheld from the workers who harvested

your fields are crying aloud; and the cries of the �

harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.�

You have lived on earth in luxury and pleasure; you

have fattened your hearts for the day of slaughter.�

You have condemned; you have murdered the righteous

one; he offers you no resistance. �

Gospel � � � Mk 9: 38-43, 45, 47-48

At that time, John said to Jesus, "Teacher, we saw

someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried

to prevent him because he does not follow us." Jesus

replied, "Do not prevent him. There is no one who �

performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the

same time speak ill of me. For whoever is not against us

is for us. Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink�

because you belong to Christ, amen, I say to you, will

surely not lose his reward.�

Primera lectura � � � Nm 11, 25-29

En aquellos días, el Señor descendió de la nube y

habló con Moisés. Tomó del espíritu que reposaba sobre

Moisés y se lo dio a los setenta ancianos. Cuando el �

espíritu se posó sobre ellos, se pusieron a profetizar.�

Se habían quedado en el campamento dos hombres:

uno llamado Eldad y otro, Medad. También sobre ellos

se posó el espíritu, pues aunque no habían ido a la�

reunión, eran de los elegidos y ambos comenzaron a

profetizar en el campamento.�

Un muchacho corrió a contarle a Moisés que Eldad y

Medad estaban profetizando en el campamento. Entonc-

es Josué, hijo de Nun, que desde muy joven era

ayudante de Moisés, le dijo: “Señor mío, prohíbeselo”.

Pero Moisés le respondió: “¿Crees que voy a ponerme

celoso? Ojalá que todo el pueblo de Dios fuera profeta y

descendiera sobre todos ellos el espíritu del Señor”.�

�

�

Responsorial Del Salmo 18

Los mandamientos del Señor alegran el corazón. �

Segunda lectura Sant 5, 1-6�

�

Lloren y laméntense, ustedes, los ricos, por las �

desgracias que les esperan. Sus riquezas se han �

corrompido; la polilla se ha comido sus vestidos;

enmohecidos están su oro y su plata, y ese moho será

una prueba contra ustedes y consumirá sus carnes, como

el fuego. Con esto ustedes han atesorado un castigo para

los últimos días.�

El salario que ustedes han defraudado a los �

trabajadores que segaron sus campos está clamando

contra ustedes; sus gritos han llegado hasta el oído del

Señor de los ejércitos. Han vivido ustedes en este �

mundo entregados al lujo y al placer, engordando como

reses para el día de la matanza. Han condenado a los

inocentes y los han matado, porque no podían de-

fenderse.�

Evangelio � � � Mc9, 38�43, 45, 47�48

En aquel tiempo, Juan le dijo a Jesús: “Hemos visto a

uno que expulsaba a los demonios en tu nombre, y �

como no es de los nuestros, se lo prohibimos”. Pero

Jesús le respondió: “No se lo prohíban, porque no hay

ninguno que haga milagros en mi nombre, que luego sea

capaz de hablar mal de mí. Todo aquel que no está �

contra nosotros, está a nuestro favor.�

Todo aquel que les dé a beber un vaso de agua por el

"Whoever causes one of

these little ones who believe in

me to sin, it would be better for

him if a great millstone were put

around his neck and he were

thrown into the sea.�

If your hand causes you to

sin, cut it off. It is better for you

to enter into life maimed than

with two hands to go into �

Gehenna, into the unquenchable

fire. And if your foot causes you

to sin, cut if off. It is better for you to enter into life

crippled than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna.

And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. Better

for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye

than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna, where

‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'"�

hecho de que son de Cristo, les

aseguro que no se quedará sin �

recompensa.�

Al que sea ocasión de pecado

para esta gente sencilla que cree

en mí, más le valdría que le

pusieran al cuello una de esas

enormes piedras de molino y lo

arrojaran al mar.�

Si tu mano te es ocasión de �

pecado, córtatela; pues más te vale

entrar manco en la vida eterna, que

ir con tus dos manos al lugar de castigo, al fuego que no

se apaga. Y si tu pie te es ocasión de pecado, córtatelo;

pues más te vale entrar cojo en la vida eterna, que con

tus dos pies ser arrojado al lugar de castigo. Y si tu ojo

te es ocasión de pecado, sácatelo; pues más te vale en-

trar tuerto en el Reino de Dios, que ser arrojado con tus

dos ojos al lugar de castigo,�donde el gusano no muere

y el fuego no se apaga’’.�
