29th SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME/29º DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO

First Reading Is 45:1, 4-6 A reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah Thus says the LORD to his anointed, Cyrus, whose right hand I grasp, subduing nations before him, and making kings run in his service, opening doors before him and leaving the gates unbarred: For the sake of Jacob, my servant, of Israel, my chosen one, I have called you by your name, giving you a title, though you knew me not. I am the LORD and there is no other, there is no God besides me. !" It is I who arm you, though you know me not, so that toward the rising and the setting of the sun people may know that there is none besides me. I am the LORD, there is no other. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM 23 R/. Give the Lord glory and honor.

Second Reading 1 Thes 1:1-5B

A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: grace to you and peace. We give thanks to God always for all of you, remembering you in our prayers, unceasingly calling to mind your work of faith and labor of love and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father, knowing, brothers and sisters loved by God, how you were chosen. For our gospel did not come to you in word alone, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with much conviction. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Gospel MT 22:15-21 The Lord be with you. And with your spir-it. A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew Glory to you, O Lord. The Pharisees went off and plotted how they might entrap Jesus in speech. They sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. And you are not concerned with anyone's opinion, for you do not regard a person's status. Tell us, then, what is your opinion: Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?" Knowing their malice, Jesus said, "Why are you testing me, you hypocrites? Show me the coin that pays the census tax." Then they handed him the Roman coin. He said to them, "Whose image is this and whose inscription?" They replied, "Caesar's." At that he said to them, "Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God." The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Homily-Profession of Faith—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 suf-fered 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.

Primera Lectura Is 45, 1.4-6

Lectura del libro del profeta Isaias Así habló el Señor a Ciro, su ungido, a quien ha tomado de la mano para someter ante él a las naciones y desbaratar la potencia de los reyes, para abrir ante él los portones y que no quede nada cerrado: “Por amor a Jacob, mi siervo, y a Israel, mi escogido, te llamé por tu nombre y te di un título de honor, . aunque tú no me conocieras. Yo soy el Señor y no hay otro; fuera de mí no hay Dios. Te hago poderoso, aunque tú no me conoces, para que todos sepan, de oriente a occidente, que no hay otro Dios fuera de mí. Yo soy el Señor y no hay otro”. Palabra de Dios. Te alabamos, Señor.

Salmo Responsorial 95

R/ Cantemos la grandeza del Señor.

Segunda Lectura 1 Tes 1, 1-5

Lectura de la carta del apóstol san Pablo a los tesalonicenses Pablo, Silvano y Timoteo deseamos la gracia y la paz a la comun-idad cristiana de los tesalonicenses, congregada por Dios Padre y por Jesucristo, el Señor. En todo momento damos gracias a Dios por ustedes y los tenemos presentes en nuestras oraciones. Ante Dios, nuestro Padre, recordamos sin cesar las obras que manifies-tan la fe de ustedes, los trabajos fatigosos que ha emprendido su amor y la perseverancia que les da su esperanza en Jesucristo, nuestro Señor. Nunca perdemos de vista, hermanos muy amados de Dios, que él es quien los ha elegido. En efecto, nuestra predicación del Evangelio entre ustedes no se llevó a cabo sólo con palabras, sino también con la fuerza del Espíritu Santo, que produjo en ustedes abundantes frutos. Palabra de Dios. Te alabamos, Señor.

Aclamación del Evangelio R. Aleluya, aleluya. Iluminen al mundo con la luz del Evangelio reflejada en su vida. R. Aleluya.

29º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Homilía– Profesión de Fe– Credo Niceno Creo en un solo Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la tierra, de todo lo visible y lo invisible. Creo en un solo Señor, Jesucristo, Hijo único de Dios, nacido del Padre antes de todos los siglos: Dios de Dios, Luz de Luz, Dios verdadero de Dios verdadero, engen-drado no creado, de la misma naturaleza del Padre, por quien todo fue hecho; que por nosotros los hombres, y por nuestra salvación bajó del cielo, _________ Y por obra del Espíritu Santo se encarnó de María, la Virgen, y se hizo hombre; _________ Y por nuestra causa fue crucificado en tiempos de Poncio Pilato, padeció y fue sepultado, y resucitó al tercer día, según las Escrituras, y subió al cielo, y está sentado a la derecha del Padre; Y de nuevo vendrá con Gloria para juzgar a vivos y Muertos, y su reino no tendrá fin. Creo en el Espíritu Santo, Señor y dador de vida, que procede del Padre y el Hijo recibe una misma adoración y gloria, y que habló por los profetas. Creo el la Iglesia, que es una, santa, católica y apostólica. Confieso que hay un solo Bautismo para el perdón de los pecados. Espero la resurrección de los Muertos y la vida del mundo futuro. Amén.

arredra, porque no buscas el favor de nadie. Dinos, pues, qué piensas: ¿Es lícito o no pagar el tributo al César?” Conociendo Jesús la malicia de sus intenciones, les contestó: “Hipócritas, ¿por qué tratan de sorprenderme? Enséñenme la moneda del tributo”. Ellos le presentaron una moneda. Jesús les preguntó: “¿De quién es esta imagen y esta inscripción?” Le respondieron: “Del César”. Y Jesús concluyó: “Den, pues, al César lo que es del César, y a Dios lo que es de Dios”.

Palabra del Señor Gloria a ti, Señor Jesús.

EVANGELIO Mateo 22, 15-21 El Señor esté con ustedes. Y con tu espíritu. Lectura del santo Evangelio según san Mateo Gloria a ti Señor. En aquel tiempo, se reunieron los fariseos para ver la manera de hacer caer a Jesús, con preguntas insidiosas, en algo de que pu-dieran acusarlo. Le enviaron, pues, a algunos de sus secuaces, junto con algunos del partido de Herodes, para que le dijeran: “Maestro, sabemos que eres sincero y enseñas con verdad el camino de Dios, y que nada te

The Catholic Daughters of America Have placed a single Red Rose at the ambo During October– Respect Life Month. The Rose has become internationality recognized as the symbol to respect the sanc-tity of life, thereby saving the lives of the unborn, the sick, and the elderly, and reducing the physical and spiritual fallout to those who refuse to respect God’s precious gift of life. Please join us at 6:30 p.m., Tuesdays during the month of October, in the Holy Family Prayer garden as we pray the rosary in honor of Respect Life month.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,”

Las Hijas Católicas han colocado una sola Rosa Roja en el ambo durante el mes de Octubre– Mes al Respeto a la Vida. La Rosa se ha convertido y reconocido internacionalmente como el símbulo para respetar la santidad de la vida, salvando así las vidas de los no nacidos , los enfermos y los ancianos, y reduciendo las con-secuencias físicas y espirituales a quienes se niegan a respetar el precioso regalo de vida de Dios. Por favor, únanse a nosotros todos los martes del mes de octubre a las 6:30 p.m. en el jardín de Oración de la Sagrada Familia mientras rezamos el rosario en honor del Mes de Respeto a la Vida. “Antes de formarte en el vientre te conoci”.
