Oración de Santa Margarita María de Alacoque al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús

Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, te adoro profundamente y te entrego mi corazón con todos sus afectos, deseos y pensamientos.

Haz que mi corazón sea semejante al tuyo: humilde, puro, paciente y lleno de amor. Que nunca me aparte de ti y que encuentre en tu Corazón el refugio seguro en las alegrías y en las pruebas de la vida.

Te consagro mi familia, mis trabajos, mis sufrimientos y mis esperanzas. Recibe todo lo que soy y todo lo que tengo.

Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, abrasado de amor por nosotros, inflama mi corazón con el amor a Dios y al prójimo. Concédeme la gracia de vivir según tu voluntad y de perseverar fielmente hasta el final.

Corazón de Jesús, fuente de toda consolación, ten misericordia de mí.

Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, en ti confío.

Amén.

GOSPEL OF THE DAY
From the Gospel according to Mark
12:1-12

Jesus began to speak to the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a wine press, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and left on a journey.

At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants to obtain from them some of the produce of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed. Again he sent them another servant. And that one they beat over the head and treated shamefully. He sent yet another whom they killed. So, too, many others; some they beat, others they killed.

He had one other to send, a beloved son. He sent him to them last of all, thinking, ‘They will respect my son.’ But those tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ So they seized him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come, put the tenants to death, and give the vineyard to others. Have you not read this Scripture passage:

The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes?

They were seeking to arrest him, but they feared the crowd, for they realized that he had addressed the parable to them. So they left him and went away.

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

GOSPEL OF THE DAY
From the Gospel according to John
John 3:16-18

God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.

Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

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

GOSPEL OF THE DAY

From the Gospel according to Mark
11:27-33

Jesus and his disciples returned once more to Jerusalem. As he was walking in the temple area, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders approached him and said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things? Or who gave you this authority to do them?”

Jesus said to them, “I shall ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. Was John’s baptism of heavenly or of human origin? Answer me.”

They discussed this among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘Of heavenly origin,’ he will say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’ But shall we say, ‘Of human origin’?” They feared the crowd, for they all thought John really was a prophet.

So they said to Jesus in reply, “We do not know.”

Then Jesus said to them, “Neither shall I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

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

MES DE MAYO, MES DE MARÍA

Durante todo el mes de Mayo, de lunes a viernes, recorrimos las calles de Reading rezando el Santo Rosario y poniendo en las manos de nuestra Madre Santísima nuestras intenciones por la paz de nuestra ciudad, del mundo entero, por nuestras familias y por nuestra parroquia.

Gracias a todos los que caminaron, rezaron y compartieron este hermoso tiempo de fe. Cada Ave María fue una semilla de esperanza y cada paso una muestra de amor a Jesús por medio de María.

Que la Virgen María, Reina de la Paz, continúe protegiendo nuestras familias y nuestra comunidad.

¡Dios les pague por acompañarnos!¡Viva Jesús Sacramentado!¡Viva la Virgen María!

GOSPEL OF THE DAY
From the Gospel according to Mark
11:11-26

Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple area.
He looked around at everything and, since it was already late,
went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

The next day as they were leaving Bethany he was hungry.
Seeing from a distance a fig tree in leaf,
he went over to see if he could find anything on it.
When he reached it he found nothing but leaves;
it was not the time for figs.
And he said to it in reply, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again!”
And his disciples heard it.

They came to Jerusalem,
and on entering the temple area
he began to drive out those selling and buying there.
He overturned the tables of the money changers
and the seats of those who were selling doves. He did not permit anyone to carry anything through the temple area. Then he taught them saying, “Is it not written:

My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples?
But you have made it a den of thieves.”

The chief priests and the scribes came to hear of it and were seeking a way to put him to death, yet they feared him
because the whole crowd was astonished at his teaching.
When evening came, they went out of the city.

Early in the morning, as they were walking along, they saw the fig tree withered to its roots.
Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.”
Jesus said to them in reply, “Have faith in God. Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him.
Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours.

When you stand to pray,
forgive anyone against whom you have a grievance, so that your heavenly Father may in turn forgive you your transgressions.”

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