TWENTY - EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: 2 Kings 5:14–17: The foreigner Naaman humbles himself and receives God’s healing.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 98 “The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.”
Second Reading: 2 Timothy 2:8–13: If, like Christ, we hold out even to death, we will reign with Christ.
Gospel: Luke 17:11–19: Ten lepers show faith in obeying the Lord,but in thankfulness one goes a step farther
straight into the kingdom of God.
Naaman’s life was completely changed in our Old Testament reading today, as were the lives of
the ten lepers in the Gospel. Gratitude seems to be a small price to pay for such great goodness.
Yet as we hear these readings today, perhaps we can listen for the message that says how different our world would be if we all could live in gratitude for everything that God so freely gives us.

Tiempo Ordinario – Ciclo C
28o. Doming o: Los milag ros, signos del Reino
Monición de entrada:Buenos, días, (tardes, noches). La liturgia
de hoy, tanto como en la celebración de la palabra, como en
el sacrificio mismo, nos habla del agradecimiento. Nosotros
molestamos mucho, insistimos para que se nos preste un
servicio. Sin embargo, no somos muy generosos en el agradecimiento. Como cristianos nos podemos llamar los “eternos
limosneros” porque nuestras oraciones son, en su mayoría de
petición. La liturgia de hoy nos presenta el agradecimiento de
dos hombres por el don recibido que revela la calidad de su
corazón. Aprendamos la lección, celebrando con entusiasmo
la Eucaristía de hoy. Puestos de pie, cantamos con alegría y
entusiasmo.
Primera lectura: II Reyes 5, 14-17 (Naamán, el sirio, es curado
de la lepra por Eliseo)La primera lectura está tomada del segundo libro de los Reyes. Este texto nos presenta la curación
del leproso Naamán, quien no era del pueblo de Israel. Dios
se lo manifestó en el “milagro” y este pagano supo responder
con gran agradecimiento a Dios. Escuchemos con atención
este interesante relato.
Salmo Responsorial: Salmo 50, 1-2. 3-4. 5-6.Misericordia Señor hemos pecado.Segunda lectura: II Timoteo 2, 8-13 (Si perseveramos, reinaremos con Cristo)

Evangelio: Lucas 17, 11-19 (Curación de diez leprosos por
Jesús) El evangelio según san Lucas nos presenta el relato de
la curación de los diez leprosos. Una vez más vemos que las
bendiciones de Dios alcanzan a todos los seres humanos. Los
curados fueron diez en total. De éstos, sólo el samaritano, el
extranjero, regresó para manifestar al Señor su agradecimiento
por la curación. Vamos a continuación a escuchar la Buena
Nueva, pónganse de pie, por favor, para entonar el Aleluya.
GALA: LLAVES Y ESPADA
Su Exma. Obispo Herbert A. Bevard anuncia que el 11
de febrero de 2017, si Dios así lo permite, se celebrará la
gala anual Llaves y Espada. Esta actividad se hará como

que van a ser honradas son los Caballeros de Malta. Los
fondos serán destinados a pagar los últimos gastos de la
restauración de la catedral. Cualquier fondo restante se
guardará en un fondo para el mantenimiento del edificio.
El Sr. Obispo cuenta con nuestro entusiasmo y apoyo
para este proyecto tan importante.
3. Por los pobres de este mundo, los que sufren, los que
lloran, los perseguidos, los que padecen soledad y abandono: para que en el fondo de su corazón puedan escuchar
“dichos ustedes” y confíen en Dios. Roguemos al Señor.
4. Por los jóvenes de nuestras comunidades y parroquias:
para que puedan responder con generosidad a la llamada
del Señor a entregar sus vidas en la vida religiosa y sacerdotal. Roguemos al Señor.

Tiempo Ordinario – Ciclo C
28o. Doming o: Los milag ros, signos del Reino
Monición de entrada:Buenos, días, (tardes, noches). La liturgia
de hoy, tanto como en la celebración de la palabra, como en
el sacrificio mismo, nos habla del agradecimiento. Nosotros
molestamos mucho, insistimos para que se nos preste un
servicio. Sin embargo, no somos muy generosos en el agradecimiento. Como cristianos nos podemos llamar los “eternos
limosneros” porque nuestras oraciones son, en su mayoría de
petición. La liturgia de hoy nos presenta el agradecimiento de
dos hombres por el don recibido que revela la calidad de su
corazón. Aprendamos la lección, celebrando con entusiasmo
la Eucaristía de hoy. Puestos de pie, cantamos con alegría y
entusiasmo.
Primera lectura: II Reyes 5, 14-17 (Naamán, el sirio, es curado
de la lepra por Eliseo)La primera lectura está tomada del segundo libro de los Reyes. Este texto nos presenta la curación
del leproso Naamán, quien no era del pueblo de Israel. Dios
se lo manifestó en el “milagro” y este pagano supo responder
con gran agradecimiento a Dios. Escuchemos con atención
este interesante relato.
Salmo Responsorial: Salmo 50, 1-2. 3-4. 5-6.Misericordia Señor hemos pecado.Segunda lectura: II Timoteo 2, 8-13 (Si perseveramos, reinaremos con Cristo)
Pablo, en la segunda lectura de hoy anima a su discípulo Timoteo a cumplir su misión con valor y fidelidad.
Dios nos ha dado una vida que no puede estar encadenada por ninguna fuerza de la tierra. Escuchen atentos.
Evangelio: Lucas 17, 11-19 (Curación de diez leprosos por
Jesús) El evangelio según san Lucas nos presenta el relato de
la curación de los diez leprosos. Una vez más vemos que las
bendiciones de Dios alcanzan a todos los seres humanos. Los
curados fueron diez en total. De éstos, sólo el samaritano, el
extranjero, regresó para manifestar al Señor su agradecimiento
por la curación. Vamos a continuación a escuchar la Buena
Nueva, pónganse de pie, por favor, para entonar el Aleluya.
Oración Universal:1. Por el Papa Benedicto XVI: para que
Dios le dé su Espíritu de sabiduría y así pueda fortalecer a la
Iglesia en el amor y en la unidad. Roguemos al Señor.2. Por
las naciones ricas: para que sientan el deber de compartir sus
recursos con los pueblos más necesitados. Roguemos al Señor.
3. Por los pobres de este mundo, los que sufren, los que
lloran, los perseguidos, los que padecen soledad y abandono: para que en el fondo de su corazón puedan escuchar
“dichos ustedes” y confíen en Dios. Roguemos al Señor.
6
4. Por los jóvenes de nuestras comunidades y parroquias:
para que puedan responder con generosidad a la llamada
del Señor a entregar sus vidas en la vida religiosa y sacerdotal. Roguemos al Señor.

TWENTY - EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: 2 Kings 5:14–17: The foreigner Naaman humbles himself and receives God’s healing.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 98 “The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.”
Second Reading: 2 Timothy 2:8–13: If, like Christ, we hold out even to death, we will reign with Christ.
Gospel: Luke 17:11–19: Ten lepers show faith in obeying the Lord,but in thankfulness one goes a step farther
straight into the kingdom of God.
Naaman’s life was completely changed in our Old Testament reading today, as were the lives of
the ten lepers in the Gospel. Gratitude seems to be a small price to pay for such great goodness.
Yet as we hear these readings today, perhaps we can listen for the message that says how different our world would be if we all could live in gratitude for everything that God so freely gives us.
