The First Lesson Deuteronimo 10:12 - 21 (NVI) Deuteronomy 10:12 - 21 (NRSV)

Lectura de Deuteronimo: 12 Y ahora, Israel, ¿qué te pide el Señor tu Dios? Simplemente que le temas y andes en todos sus caminos, que lo ames y le sirvas con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma, 13 y que cumplas los mandamientos y los preceptos que hoy te manda cumplir, para que te vaya bien.

14 Al Señor tu Dios le pertenecen los cielos y lo más alto de los cielos, la tierra y todo lo que hay en ella. 15 Sin embargo, él se encariñó con tus antepasados y los amó; y a ti, que eres su descendencia, te eligió de entre todos los pueblos, como lo vemos hoy. 16 Por eso, despójate de lo pagano que hay en tu corazón, y ya no seas terco. 17 Porque el Señor tu Dios es Dios de dioses y Señor de señores; él es el gran Dios, poderoso y terrible, que no actúa con parcialidad ni acepta sobornos. 18 Él defiende la causa del huérfano y de la viuda, y muestra su amor por el extranjero, proveyéndole ropa y alimentos. 19 Así mismo debes tú mostrar amor por los extranjeros, porque también tú fuiste extranjero en Egipto. 20 Teme al Señor tu Dios y sírvele. Aférrate a él y jura solo por su nombre. 21 Él es el motivo de tu alabanza; él es tu Dios, el que hizo en tu favor las grandes y maravillosas hazañas que tú mismo presenciaste.

Palabra del Señor.Pueblo: Demos gracias a Dios.

A reading from Deuteronomy:12 So now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? Only to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to keep the commandments of the Lord your God and his decrees that I am commanding you today, for your own well-being.

14 Although heaven and the heaven of heavens belong to the Lord your God, the earth with all that is in it, 15 yet the Lord set his heart in love on your ancestors alone and chose you, their descendants after them, out of all the peoples, as it is today. 16 Circumcise, then, the foreskin of your heart, and do not be stubborn any longer. 17 For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who is not partial and takes no bribe, 18 who executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and who loves the strangers, providing them food and clothing. 19 You shall also love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. 20 You shall fear the Lord your God; him alone you shall worship; to him you shall hold fast, and by his name you shall swear. 21 He is your praise; he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things that your own eyes have seen.

The word of the Lord People: Thanks be to God.

The Psalm: 96 Cantate Domino Book of Common Prayer, page 725Read in English, responsively by whole verse.

1 Sing to the LORD a new song; * sing to the LORD, all the whole earth.2 Sing to the LORD and bless his Name; * proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day.3 Declare his glory among the nations * and his wonders among all peoples.4 For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; * he is more to be feared than all gods.5 As for all the gods of the nations, they are but idols; * but it is the LORD who made the heavens.6 Oh, the majesty and magnificence of his presence! * Oh, the power and the splendor of his sanctuary!7 Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peoples; * ascribe to the LORD honor and power.8 Ascribe to the LORD the honor due his Name; * bring offerings and come into his courts.9 Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; * let the whole earth tremble before him.10 Tell it out among the nations: “The LORD is King! * he has made the world so firm that it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.”11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;let the sea thunder and all that is in it; * let the field be joyful and all that is therein.12 Then shall all the trees of the wood shout for joy before the LORD when he comes, * when he comes to judge the earth.13 He will judge the world with righteousness * and the peoples with his truth.

1 Canten al Señor cántico nuevo;*canten al Señor, toda la tierra.2 Canten al Señor, bendigan su Nombre; *proclamen de día en día su victoria.

3 Pregonen entre las naciones su gloria, *en todos los pueblos sus maravillas;4 Porque grande es el Señor, y muy digno de alabanza; *más temible es que todos los dioses;5 Porque todos los dioses de los pueblos son ídolos; *pero es el Señor que ha hecho los cielos.6 ¡Oh, la majestad y la magnificencia de su presencia! *¡Oh, la fuerza y el esplendor de su santuario!7 Rindan al Señor, oh familias de los pueblos, *rindan al Señor la honra y el poder.8 Rindan al Señor la gloria debida a su Nombre; *traigan ofrendas, y entren en sus atrios.9 Adoren al Señor en la hermosura de la santidad; *tiemble delante de él toda la tierra.10 Pregonen entre las naciones: “El Señor es Rey; *de tal manera ha afirmado el orbe que noserá conmovido;juzgará a los pueblos con equidad”.11 Alégrense los cielos, y gócese la tierra;truene la mar y su plenitud; *regocíjese el campo, y todo lo que en él está.12 Entonces aclamarán con júbilo todos los árbolesdel bosque,delante del Señor cuando llegue, *cuando llegue a juzgar la tierra.13 Juzgará al mundo con justicia, *y a los pueblos con SU verdad.

The Second Lesson Ephesians 1:15 - 23Efesios 1:15 - 23

A reading from St. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians:15 I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and for this reason 16 I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. 17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him, 18 so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you,

Lectura de Efesios:15 Por eso yo, por mi parte, desde que me enteré de la fe que tienen en el Señor Jesús y del amor que demuestran por todos los santos, 16 no he dejado de dar gracias por ustedes al recordarlos en mis oraciones. 17 Pido que el Dios de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, el Padre glorioso, les dé el Espíritu de sabiduría y de revelación, para que lo conozcan mejor. 18 Pido también que les sean iluminados los ojos del corazón para que sepan a qué esperanza él los ha llamado, cuál es la riqueza de su gloriosa herencia entre

- 7 -

what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints, 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of his great power. 20 God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. 22 And he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

los santos, 19 y cuán incomparable es la grandeza de su poder a favor de los que creemos. Ese poder es la fuerza grandiosa y eficaz. 20 que Dios ejerció en Cristo cuando lo resucitó de entre los muertos y lo sentó a su derecha en las regiones celestiales, 21 muy por encima de todo gobierno y autoridad, poder y dominio, y de cualquier otro nombre que se invoque, no solo en este mundo, sino también en el venidero. 22 Dios sometió todas las cosas al dominio de Cristo, y lo dio como cabeza de todo a la iglesia. 23 Esta, que es su cuerpo, es la plenitud de aquel que lo llena todo por completo.

The word of the Lord Palabra del Señor. People: Thanks be to God. Pueblo: Demos gracias a Dios.

The Gospel Matthew 6:19-33 (NRSV)The congregation remains standing. Mateo 6:19-33 (NVI)

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew.People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.

19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light; 23 but if your eye is unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

24 “No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life?

28 And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?

31 Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ 32 For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

El santo Evangelio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo según san Mateo.Pueblo: Gloria a ti, Cristo Señor.

19 No acumulen para sí tesoros en la tierra, donde la polilla y el óxido destruyen, y donde los ladrones se meten a robar. 20 Más bien, acumulen para sí tesoros en el cielo, donde ni la polilla ni el óxido carcomen, ni los ladrones se meten a robar. 21 Porque donde esté tu tesoro, allí estará también tu corazón.

22 El ojo es la lámpara del cuerpo. Por tanto, si tu visión es clara, todo tu ser disfrutará de la luz. 23 Pero, si tu visión está nublada, todo tu ser estará en oscuridad. Si la luz que hay en ti es oscuridad, ¡qué densa será esa oscuridad!

24 Nadie puede servir a dos señores, pues menospreciará a uno y amará al otro, o querrá mucho a uno y despreciará al otro. No se puede servir a la vez a Dios y a las riquezas.De nada sirve preocuparse

25 Por eso les digo: No se preocupen por su vida, qué comerán o beberán; ni por su cuerpo, cómo se vestirán. ¿No tiene la vida más valor que la comida, y el cuerpo más que la ropa? 26 Fíjense en las aves del cielo: no siembran ni cosechan ni almacenan en graneros; sin embargo, el Padre celestial las alimenta. ¿No valen ustedes mucho más que ellas? 27 ¿Quién de ustedes, por mucho que se preocupe, puede añadir una sola hora al curso de su vida?

28 ¿Y por qué se preocupan por la ropa? Observen cómo crecen los lirios del campo. No trabajan ni hilan; 29 sin embargo, les digo que ni siquiera Salomón, con todo su esplendor, se vestía como uno de ellos. 30 Si así viste Dios a la hierba que hoy está en el campo y mañana es arrojada al horno, ¿no hará mucho más por ustedes, gente de poca fe?

31 Así que no se preocupen diciendo: “¿Qué comeremos?” o “¿Qué beberemos?” o “¿Con qué nos vestiremos?” 32 Los paganos andan tras todas estas cosas, pero el Padre celestial sabe que ustedes las necesitan. 33 Más bien, busquen primeramente el reino de Dios y su justicia, y todas estas cosas les serán añadidas.

Through the great shepherd of your flock, Jesus Christ our Lord; who after his resurrection sent forth his apostles to preach the Gospel and to teach all nations; and promised to be with them always, even to the end of the ages.

Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:

Celebrant and People, singing “Santo, Santo, Santo” Wonder, Love, and Praise #785

The Celebrant continuesWe give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.

On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”

After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”

Therefore, according to his command, O Father,We remember his death, Recordamos su muerte,We proclaim his resurrection, Proclamamos su resurrección,We await his coming in glory; Esperamos su venida en gloria;

The Celebrant continuesAnd we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine.

We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where with all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation.

By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. Amen.

And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, Oremos como nuestro Salvador Cristo nos enseñó,

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Padre nuestro que estás en el cielo, santificado sea tu Nombre, venga tu reino, hágase tu voluntad, en la tierra como en el cielo.Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día.Perdona nuestras ofensas, como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden.No nos dejes caer en tentación y líbranos del mal.Porque tuyo es el reino, tuyo es el poder, y tuya es la gloria, ahora y por siempre. Amén.
