Most Reverend José H. Gomez Archbishop of Los Angeles

Holy Virgin of Guadalupe,

Queen of the Angels and Mother of the Americas. We fly to you today as your beloved children. We ask you to intercede for us with your Son,

as you did at the wedding in Cana. Pray for us, loving Mother,

and gain for our nation and world, and for all our families and loved ones,

the protection of your holy angels, that we may be spared the worst of this illness.

For those already afflicted, we ask you to obtain the grace of healing

and deliverance. Hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful,

wipe away their tears and help them to trust. In this time of trial and testing,

teach all of us in the Church to love one another and to be patient and kind.

Help us to bring the peace of Jesus to our land and to our hearts.

We come to you with confidence, knowing that you truly are our compassionate mother,

health of the sick and cause of our joy. Shelter us under the mantle of your protection,

keep us in the embrace of your arms, help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus.

Amen.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Dame a mí, tu servidor, la capacidad de juzgar bien (1 Reyes 3:5, 7-12). Salmo — Amo, Señor, tus mandamientos (Salmo 119 [118]). Segunda lectura — Estamos predestinados a ser conformados a la imagen del Hijo de Dios (Romanos 8:28-30). Evangelio — Cuando encontramos la perla de gran valor, tenemos que ofrecer por ella todo lo que poseemos (Mateo 13:44-52 [44-46]). Salmo responsorial: Leccionario Hispanoamericano Dominical © 1970, Comisión Episcopal Española. Usado con permiso. Todos los derechos reservados. LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Jer 13:1-11; Dt 32:18-21; Mt 13:31-35 Martes: Jer 14:17-22; Sal 79 (78):8, 9, 11, 13; Mt 13:36-43 Miércoles: Jer 15:10, 16-21; Sal 34 (33):2-11; Jn 11:19-27 o Lc 10:38-42 Jueves: Jer 18:1-6; Sal 146 (145):1b-6ab; Mt 13:47-53 Viernes: Jer 26:1-9; Sal 69 (68):5, 8-10, 14; Mt 13:54-58 Sábado: Jer 26:11-16, 24; Sal 69 (68):15-16, 30-31, 33-34; Mt 14:1-12 Domingo: Is 55:1-3; Sal 145 (144):8-9, 15-18; Rom 8:35, 37-39; Mt 14:13-21

PARTICIPACIÓN EN EL REINO Hoy concluye la tercera semana de una serie de textos del Evangelio en que hemos escuchado un total de siete parábolas sobre el Reino. Se pide al creyente que considere el pedido que Dios hace a Salomón en la primera lectura de hoy: “pídeme lo que quieras, y yo te lo daré” (1 Reyes 3:5). Las parábolas de hoy sobre el tesoro enterrado en el campo y la perla de gran precio nos debería empujar a responder: “¡Una participación en tu Reino, oh Dios!” Hoy descubrimos que el Reino de Dios es invalorable, un tesoro que no tiene precio. Desafortunadamente, nuestra cultura nos bombardea con cosas que considera tesoros inapreciables: vehículo utilitario deportivo, cremas antiarrugas y contra la calvicie, dietas milagrosas, y mucho, mucho más. Tener una participación en el Reino de Dios y contribuir a la venida del Reino son los mayores tesoros que jamás podamos esperar ganar. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Psalm — Lord, I love your commands (Psalm 119). Second Reading — All things work for good for those who love God (Romans 8:28-30).

READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Jer 13:1-11; Dt 32:18-21; Mt 13:31-35 Tuesday: Jer 14:17-22; Ps 79:8, 9, 11, 13; Mt 13:36-43 Wednesday: Jer 15:10, 16-21; Ps 34:2-11; Jn 11:19-27 or Lk 10:38-42 Thursday: Jer 18:1-6; Ps 146:1b-6ab; Mt 13:47-53 Friday: Jer 26:1-9; Ps 69:5, 8-10, 14; Mt 13:54-58 Saturday: Jer 26:11-16, 24; Ps 69:15-16, 30-31, 33-34; Mt 14:1-12 Sunday: Is 55:1-3; Ps 145:8-9, 15-18; Rom 8:35, 37-39; Mt 14:13-21

A SHARE IN GOD’S KINGDOM Today concludes a three-week series of Gospel texts in which we have listened to a total of seven parables about the Kingdom. The believer is asked to consider the request that God made of Solomon in today’s first reading: “Ask something of me and I will give it to you” (1 Kings 3:5). Today’s parables about the treasure buried in the field and the pearl of great price should prompt us to answer, “A share in your kingdom, O God!” Today we discover that the kingdom of God is beyond value, a priceless treasure. Unfortunately, our culture bombards us with things that it believes are priceless treasures—the bigger and better SUVs, anti-aging and anti-balding creams and salves, miracle diets, and so much more. Having a share in God’s kingdom and helping to bring about that kingdom are the greatest treasures that we can ever hope to gain. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

DID YOU KNOW? // ¿SABIAS QUE? Refresh your summer water safety rules With many vacations cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, families may be spending a lot of time at local beaches. Before you hit the sand, brush up on your water safety rules with your children. Think about implementing the buddy system, where two people stick together and keep an eye on each other. Know who will be in charge of watching children at each time, and, if possible, make sure the adults in your family know CPR. For more information, get a copy of the VIRTUS® article, “Refresh your memory about summer water safety” at https://lacatholics.org/did-you-know/. Actual ice sus reglas de seguridad en e l agua para este verano Con muchas vacaciones canceladas debido a la pandemia del coronavirus, las familias van a estar pasando mucho tiempo en las playas locales. Antes de tocar la arena, repase las reglas para estar en el agua con sus hijos. Piense en implementar el sistema del “amigo”, en el que dos personas se mantienen juntas y cuidan una de otra. Esté claro de quién se encargará de cuidar a los niños en distintos momentos, si es posible, asegúrese de que los adultos en su familia tengan conocimiento de primeros auxil-ios. Para obtener más información, lea el artículo de VIRTUS® en inglés, “Refresh your memory about summer water safety” (Refresque su memoria sobre reglas de seguridad en el agua) en https://lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.
