Dios misericordioso, Tú que saliste al encuentro de los discípulos de Emaús, concédenos un espíritu misionero para salir al encuentro de nuestros hermanos y hermanas, Unirnos a su caminar cotidiano, Escuchar sus tristezas y alegrías, Encender sus corazones con el fuego de tu Palabra, Prepararlos a reconocerte en la Eucaristía y enviarlos como discípulos misioneros a compartir la alegría del Evangelio a generaciones presentes y futuras de toda raza, lengua y cultura. Te lo pedimos desde nuestros corazones ardientes en el Espíritu Santo, en nombre de tu Hijo amado y por la intercesión de nuestra Madre María de Guadalupe, Estrella de la Nueva Evangelización, Amen

26th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME GOSPEL MT 21:33-43 ~ OCT. 8

Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people: “Hear another parable. There was a land-owner who planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenants and went on a journey. When vintage time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to obtain his produce. But the tenants seized the servants and one they beat, another they killed, and a third they stoned. Again, he sent other servants, more numerous than the first one, but they treated them in the same way. Finally, he sent his son to them, thinking, “They will respect my son.” But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, “This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and acquire his inheritance. ”They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants when he comes?” They answered him, “He will put those wretched men to a wretched death and lease his vine-yard to other tenants who will give him the produce at the proper times.” Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures: The stone that the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it

is wonderful in our eyes? Therefore, I say to you, the king-dom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit.”

The gospel of the Lord Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ

XXVI DOMINGO ORDINARIO EVANGELIO MT 21:33-43—OCT. 8

En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a los sumos sacerdores y a los ancianos del pueblo esta parábola: “Había una vez un propietario que plantó un viñedo, lo rodeó con una cerca, cayó un lagar en él, con-struyó una torre para el vigilante y luego lo alquiló a unos viñadores y se fue fe viaje. Llegado el tiempo de la vendimia, envió a sus criados para pedir su parte de los frutos a los viñadores; pero éstos se apoderaron de los criados, golpearon a uno, mataron a otro y a otro más lo apedrearon. Envióde nuevo a otros cria-dos, en mayor número que los primeros, y los trataron del mismo modo. Por último, les mandó a su propio hijo, pensando: “A mi hijo lo respetarán”. Pero cuando los viñadores lo vieron, se di-jeron unos a otros: “Este es el heredero. Vamos a matarlo y nos quedaremos con su herencia”. Le echaron mano, lo sacaron del viñedo y lo mataron. Ahora, díganme: cuando vuelva el dueño del viñedo, ¿qué hará con esos vi-ñadores?” Ellos le respondieron: “Dará muerte terrible a esos desalmados y arrendará el viñedo a otros viñadores, que le entreguen los frutos a su tiempo”. Entonces Jesús les dijo: “¿No han leído nunca en la Escritura: La Piedra que desecharon los constructors es ahora la Pie-dra angular. Esto es obra del Señor y es un prodigio admirable? Por esta razón les dijo que les será quitado a ustedes el Reino de Dios y se le dará a un pueblo que produzca sus fru-tos”.
