How often do we feel, like the apostles in today’s Gospel, that our faith is simply inadequate? Yet Jesus’ answer is that even faith the size of a mustard seed can do great things. So often we feel helpless in the presence
of the great problems of our day. But as we hear these readings, perhaps it will be best for us to listen for the
message that says, “Do what you can. It will be enough.”

Tiempo Ordinario – Ciclo C
27o. Domingo: Solidaridad que comparte
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Anuncios de la Semana
Monición de entrada:
Buenos, días, (tardes, noches). Nuestra oración es habitualmente interesada. Pensamos más en pedir que en adorar. En
este domingo, la liturgia nos habla de la fe que todo lo puede
y nada espera a cambio. Algunos cristianos se desaniman
cuando sus peticiones no son contestadas inmediatamente
por Dios. La Palabra Sagrada nos enseña hoy que la fe es
un don gratuito de Dios. Sólo necesitamos ser fieles. De
pie para recibir la procesión con el cántico de entrada.
Primera lectura: Baruc 1, 1.2-3; 2, 2-4 (El justo vivirá
por su fe)
Nos encontramos entre el año 605 y el año 597 antes de
Cristo. La opresión política parecía que no tenía solución.
El profeta dirige su queja a Dios por las injusticias que sufre
el pueblo. Yavé responde a la queja. Él salvará a su pueblo,
pero mientras tanto necesitan ser fieles a Dios. Oigamos.
Salmo Responsorial: Salmo 50, 1-2. 3-4. 5-6.
Misericordia Señor hemos pecado.
Segunda lectura: II Timoteo 1, 6.8. 13-14 (No tengas
miedo de dar la cara por Cristo)
Hoy los consejos de san Pablo a su discípulo Timoteo se dirigen también a nosotros. Nosotros hemos
recibido los dones del Espíritu Santo para el bien de
la comunidad. Con nuestra vida y palabras debemos
luchar por la “pureza de la fe”. Presten mucha atención.
Evangelio: Lucas 17, 5-10 (Si tuvieran fe como un
granito de mostaza…)
La fe es un don completamente gratuito. Por eso hay
que pedirla, como los apóstoles, y actuar conforme
a esa fe. Cantemos el Aleluya. De pie, por favor.
Oración Universal:
1. Por la Iglesia: para que, fiel a su Maestro, aparezca
ante el mundo como sal de la tierra y luz que alumbra en
las tinieblas. Oremos.
2. Por la paz del mundo: para que se alejen de los pueblos el hambre, las calamidades y las guerras. Oremos.
3. Por todos los seres humanos del mundo que padecen
hambre o enfermedades, por los emigrantes, los desterrados,
por los privados de libertad y todos los que sufren. Oremos.
4. Por nosotros mismos: para que nuestras vid a s s e va y a n t r a n s f o r m a n d o e n t e s t i m o nio transparente del amor de Dios. Oremos.
Exhortación Final(Tomado de B. Caballero: La Palabra
cada Domingo, San Pablo, España, 1993, p. 581)

Tiempo Ordinario – Ciclo C
27o. Domingo: Solidaridad que comparte
Anuncios de la Semana
Monición de entrada:
Buenos, días, (tardes, noches). Nuestra oración es habitualmente interesada. Pensamos más en pedir que en adorar. En
este domingo, la liturgia nos habla de la fe que todo lo puede
y nada espera a cambio. Algunos cristianos se desaniman
cuando sus peticiones no son contestadas inmediatamente
por Dios. La Palabra Sagrada nos enseña hoy que la fe es
un don gratuito de Dios. Sólo necesitamos ser fieles. De
pie para recibir la procesión con el cántico de entrada.
Primera lectura: Baruc 1, 1.2-3; 2, 2-4 (El justo vivirá
por su fe)
Nos encontramos entre el año 605 y el año 597 antes de
Cristo. La opresión política parecía que no tenía solución.
El profeta dirige su queja a Dios por las injusticias que sufre
el pueblo. Yavé responde a la queja. Él salvará a su pueblo,
pero mientras tanto necesitan ser fieles a Dios. Oigamos.
Salmo Responsorial: Salmo 50, 1-2. 3-4. 5-6.
Misericordia Señor hemos pecado.
Segunda lectura: II Timoteo 1, 6.8. 13-14 (No tengas
miedo de dar la cara por Cristo)
Hoy los consejos de san Pablo a su discípulo Timoteo se dirigen también a nosotros. Nosotros hemos
recibido los dones del Espíritu Santo para el bien de
la comunidad. Con nuestra vida y palabras debemos
luchar por la “pureza de la fe”. Presten mucha atención.
Evangelio: Lucas 17, 5-10 (Si tuvieran fe como un
granito de mostaza…)
La fe es un don completamente gratuito. Por eso hay
que pedirla, como los apóstoles, y actuar conforme
a esa fe. Cantemos el Aleluya. De pie, por favor.
Oración Universal:
1. Por la Iglesia: para que, fiel a su Maestro, aparezca
ante el mundo como sal de la tierra y luz que alumbra en
las tinieblas. Oremos.
2. Por la paz del mundo: para que se alejen de los pueblos el hambre, las calamidades y las guerras. Oremos.
3. Por todos los seres humanos del mundo que padecen
hambre o enfermedades, por los emigrantes, los desterrados,
por los privados de libertad y todos los que sufren. Oremos.
4. Por nosotros mismos: para que nuestras vid a s s e va y a n t r a n s f o r m a n d o e n t e s t i m o nio transparente del amor de Dios. Oremos.
Exhortación Final(Tomado de B. Caballero: La Palabra
cada Domingo, San Pablo, España, 1993, p. 581)

How often do we feel, like the apostles in today’s Gospel, that our faith is simply inadequate? Yet Jesus’ answer is that even faith the size of a mustard seed can do great things. So often we feel helpless in the presence
of the great problems of our day. But as we hear these readings, perhaps it will be best for us to listen for the
message that says, “Do what you can. It will be enough.”
