Today's gospel/Evangelio de hoy 🌙

En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: “Amen a sus enemigos, hagan el bien a los que los aborrecen, bendigan a quienes los maldicen y oren por quienes los difaman. Al que te golpee en una mejilla, preséntale la otra; al que te quite el manto, déjalo llevarse también la túnica. Al que te pida, dale; y al que se lleve lo tuyo, no se lo reclames.

Traten a los demás como quieran que los traten a ustedes; porque si aman sólo a los que los aman, ¿qué hacen de extraordinario? También los pecadores aman a quienes los aman. Si hacen el bien sólo a los que les hacen el bien, ¿qué tiene de extraordinario? Lo mismo hacen los pecadores. Si prestan solamente cuando esperan cobrar, ¿qué hacen de extraordinario? También los pecadores prestan a otros pecadores, con la intención de cobrárselo después.

Ustedes, en cambio, amen a sus enemigos, hagan el bien y presten sin esperar recompensa. Así tendrán un gran premio y serán hijos del Altísimo, porque él es bueno hasta con los malos y los ingratos. Sean misericordiosos, como su Padre es misericordioso.

No juzguen y no serán juzgados; no condenen y no serán condenados; perdonen y serán perdonados. Den y se les dará: recibirán una medida buena, bien sacudida, apretada y rebosante en los pliegues de su túnica. Porque con la misma medida con que midan, serán medidos’’.
Lucas 6, 27-38

Jesus said to his disciples:
“To you who hear I say, love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you,
pray for those who mistreat you.
To the person who strikes you on one cheek,
offer the other one as well,
and from the person who takes your cloak,
do not withhold even your tunic.
Give to everyone who asks of you,
and from the one who takes what is yours do not demand it back.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
For if you love those who love you,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners love those who love them.
And if you do good to those who do good to you,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners do the same.
If you lend money to those from whom you expect repayment,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners lend to sinners,
and get back the same amount.
But rather, love your enemies and do good to them,
and lend expecting nothing back;
then your reward will be great
and you will be children of the Most High,
for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.
Be merciful, just as also your Father is merciful.

“Stop judging and you will not be judged.
Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Give and gifts will be given to you;
a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,
will be poured into your lap.
For the measure with which you measure
will in return be measured out to you.”
Luke 6:27-38

✦ Memoria de San Pedro Claver, presbítero [para los diócesis de los Estados Unidos de América]

En aquel tiempo, mirando Jesús a sus discípulos, les dijo:
"Dichosos ustedes los pobres,
porque de ustedes es el Reino de Dios.
Dichosos ustedes los que ahora tienen hambre,
porque serán saciados.
Dichosos ustedes los que lloran ahora,
porque al fin reirán.

Dichosos serán ustedes cuando los hombres los aborrezcan y los expulsen de entre ellos, y cuando los insulten y maldigan por causa del Hijo del hombre. Alégrense ese día y salten de gozo, porque su recompensa será grande en el cielo. Pues así trataron sus padres a los profetas.

Pero, ¡ay de ustedes, los ricos,
porque ya tienen ahora su consuelo!
¡Ay de ustedes, los que se hartan ahora,
porque después tendrán hambre!
¡Ay de ustedes, los que ríen ahora,
porque llorarán de pena!
¡Ay de ustedes, cuando todo el mundo los alabe,
porque de ese modo trataron sus padres a los falsos profetas!"
Lucas 6, 20-26

or

En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: “Cuando venga el Hijo del hombre, rodeado de su gloria, acompañado de todos sus ángeles, se sentará en su trono de gloria. Entonces serán congregadas ante él todas las naciones, y él apartará a los unos de los otros, como aparta el pastor a las ovejas de los cabritos, y pondrá a las ovejas a su derecha y a los cabritos a su izquierda.

Entonces dirá el rey a los de su derecha: ‘Vengan, benditos de mi Padre; tomen posesión del Reino preparado para ustedes desde la creación del mundo; porque estuve hambriento y me dieron de comer; sediento y me dieron de beber; era forastero y me hospedaron; estuve desnudo y me vistieron; enfermo y me visitaron; encarcelado y fueron a verme’. Los justos le contestarán entonces: ‘Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento y te dimos de comer; sediento y te dimos de beber? ¿Cuándo te vimos de forastero y te hospedamos; o desnudo y te vestimos? ¿Cuándo te vimos enfermo o encarcelado y te fuimos a ver?’ Y el rey les dirá: ‘Yo les aseguro que, cuando lo hicieron con el más insignificante de mis hermanos, conmigo lo hicieron’ ”.
Mateo 25, 31-40

✦ Memorial of Saint Peter Claver, Priest [In the Dioceses of the United States]

Raising his eyes toward his disciples Jesus said:

“Blessed are you who are poor,
for the Kingdom of God is yours.
Blessed are you who are now hungry,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who are now weeping,
for you will laugh.
Blessed are you when people hate you,
and when they exclude and insult you,
and denounce your name as evil
on account of the Son of Man.

Rejoice and leap for joy on that day!
Behold, your reward will be great in heaven.
For their ancestors treated the prophets
in the same way.

But woe to you who are rich,
for you have received your consolation.
But woe to you who are filled now,
for you will be hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will grieve and weep.
Woe to you when all speak well of you,
for their ancestors treated the false
prophets in this way.”
Luke 6:20-26

or

Jesus said to his disciples:
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory,
and all the angels with him,
he will sit upon his glorious throne,
and all the nations will be assembled before him.
And he will separate them one from another,
as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
Then the king will say to those on his right,
'Come, you who are blessed by my Father.
Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
For I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
a stranger and you welcomed me,
naked and you clothed me,
ill and you cared for me,
in prison and you visited me.'
Then the righteous will answer him and say,
'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you,
or thirsty and give you drink?
When did we see you a stranger and welcome you,
or naked and clothe you?
When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?'
And the king will say to them in reply,
'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did
for one of the least brothers of mine you did for me.'"
Matthew 25:31-40

Mientras pensaba en estas cosas, un ángel del Señor le dijo en sueños: "José, hijo de David, no dudes en recibir en tu casa a María, tu esposa, porque ella ha concebido por obra del Espíritu Santo. Dará a luz un hijo y tú le pondrás el nombre de Jesús, porque él salvará a su pueblo de sus pecados".

For it is through the Holy Spirit
that this child has been conceived in her.
She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus,

All this took place to fulfill

Today's gospel/Evangelio de hoy 🌙

Un sábado, Jesús entró en la sinagoga y se puso a enseñar. Había allí un hombre que tenía la mano derecha paralizada. Los escribas y fariseos estaban acechando a Jesús para ver si curaba en sábado y tener así de qué acusarlo.

Pero Jesús, conociendo sus intenciones, le dijo al hombre de la mano paralizada: "Levántate y ponte ahí en medio". El hombre se levantó y se puso en medio. Entonces Jesús les dijo: "Les voy a hacer una pregunta: ¿Qué es lo que está permitido hacer en sábado: el bien o el mal, salvar una vida o acabar con ella?" Y después de recorrer con la vista a todos los presentes, le dijo al hombre: "Extiende la mano". El la extendió y quedó curado.

Los escribas y fariseos se pusieron furiosos y discutían entre sí lo que le iban a hacer a Jesús.
Lucas 6, 6-11

On a certain sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught,
and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.
The scribes and the Pharisees watched him closely
to see if he would cure on the sabbath
so that they might discover a reason to accuse him.
But he realized their intentions
and said to the man with the withered hand,
"Come up and stand before us."
And he rose and stood there.
Then Jesus said to them,
"I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the sabbath
rather than to do evil,
to save life rather than to destroy it?"
Looking around at them all, he then said to him,
"Stretch out your hand."
He did so and his hand was restored.
But they became enraged
and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.
Luke 6:6-11
