Lectura de la primera carta del apóstol san Pablo a los Corintios

1 Cor 10, 14-22

,

Queridos hermanos: Huyan de la idolatría. Me dirijo a ustedes como a hombres sensatos; ustedes mismos juzguen lo que voy a decir: El cáliz de la bendición con el que damos gracias, ¿no nos une a Cristo por medio de su sangre? Y el pan que partimos, ¿no nos une a Cristo por medio de su cuerpo? El pan es uno, y así nosotros, aunque somos muchos, formamos un solo cuerpo, porque todos comemos del mismo pan. Consideren al pueblo de Israel: ¿no es cierto que los que comen de la víctima sacrificada en el altar quedan unidos a él?

Con esto no quiero decir que el ídolo represente algo real, ni que la carne ofrecida a los ídolos tenga algún valor especial. Lo que quiero decir es que, cuando los paganos ofrecen sus sacrificios, se los ofrecen a los demonios y no a Dios.

Ahora bien, yo no quiero que ustedes se asocien con los demonios. No pueden beber el cáliz del Señor y el cáliz de los demonios. No pueden compartir la mesa del Señor y la mesa de los demonios. ¿O queremos provocar acaso la indignación del Señor creyéndonos más poderosos que él?

Lectura del santo evangelio según san Lucas

Lc 6, 43-49

,

En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: “No hay árbol bueno que produzca frutos malos, ni árbol malo que produzca frutos buenos. Cada árbol se conoce por sus frutos. No se recogen higos de las zarzas, ni se cortan uvas de los espinos.

El hombre bueno dice cosas buenas, porque el bien está en su corazón; y el hombre malo dice cosas malas, porque el mal está en su corazón, pues la boca habla de lo que está lleno el corazón.

¿Por qué me dicen ‘Señor, Señor’, y no hacen lo que yo les digo? Les voy a decir a quién se parece el que viene a mí y escucha mis palabras y las pone en práctica. Se parece a un hombre, que al construir su casa, hizo una excavación profunda, para echar los cimientos sobre la roca. Vino la creciente y chocó el río contra aquella casa, pero no la pudo derribar, porque estaba sólidamente construida.

Pero el que no pone en práctica lo que escucha, se parece a un hombre que construyó su casa a flor de tierra, sin cimientos. Chocó el río contra ella e inmediatamente la derribó y quedó completamente destruida’’.

Lectura de la primera carta del apóstol san Pablo a los Corintios

1 Cor 9, 16-19. 22-27

.

Hermanos: No tengo por qué presumir de predicar el Evangelio, puesto que ésa es mi obligación. ¡Ay de mí, si no anuncio el Evangelio! Si yo lo hiciera por propia iniciativa, merecería recompensa; pero si no, es que se me ha confiado una misión. Entonces, ¿en qué consiste mi recompensa? Consiste en predicar el Evangelio gratis, renunciando al derecho que tengo a vivir de la predicación.

Aunque no estoy sujeto a nadie, me he convertido en esclavo de todos para ganarlos a todos. Con los débiles me hice débil, para ganar a los débiles. Me he hecho todo a todos, a fin de ganarlos a todos. Todo lo hago por el Evangelio, para participar yo también de sus bienes.

¿No saben que en el estadio todos los corredores compiten, pero uno solo recibe el premio? Corran de manera que consigan el premio. Además, todos los atletas se privan de muchas cosas: ellos lo hacen por un premio que se acaba; nosotros, en cambio, por uno que dura para siempre.

Así pues, yo corro, pero no a ciegas, y lucho, pero no dando golpes al aire, sino que domino mi cuerpo y lo obligo a que me sirva, no sea que, después de predicar a los demás, quede yo descalificado.

Lectura del santo evangelio según san Lucas

Lc 6, 39-42

.

En aquel tiempo, Jesús propuso a sus discípulos este ejemplo: “¿Puede acaso un ciego guiar a otro ciego? ¿No caerán los dos en un hoyo? El discípulo no es superior a su maestro; pero cuando termine su aprendizaje, será como su maestro.

¿Por qué ves la paja en el ojo de tu hermano y no la viga que llevas en el tuyo? ¿Cómo te atreves a decirle a tu hermano: ‘Déjame quitarte la paja que llevas en el ojo’, si no adviertes la viga que llevas en el tuyo? ¡Hipócrita! Saca primero la viga que llevas en tu ojo y entonces podrás ver, para sacar la paja del ojo de tu hermano”.

A reading from the First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians
1 COR 7:25-31

.

Brothers and sisters:
In regard to virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord,
but I give my opinion as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.
So this is what I think best because of the present distress:
that it is a good thing for a person to remain as he is.
Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek a separation.
Are you free of a wife? Then do not look for a wife.
If you marry, however, you do not sin,
nor does an unmarried woman sin if she marries;
but such people will experience affliction in their earthly life,
and I would like to spare you that.

I tell you, brothers, the time is running out.
From now on, let those having wives act as not having them,
those weeping as not weeping,
those rejoicing as not rejoicing,
those buying as not owning,
those using the world as not using it fully.
For the world in its present form is passing away.

From the Gospel according to Luke
LK 6:20-26

.

Raising his eyes toward his disciples Jesus said:
“Blessed are you who are poor,
for the Kingdom of God is yours.
Blessed are you who are now hungry,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who are now weeping,
for you will laugh.
Blessed are you when people hate you,
and when they exclude and insult you,
and denounce your name as evil
on account of the Son of Man.
Rejoice and leap for joy on that day!
Behold, your reward will be great in heaven.
For their ancestors treated the prophets
in the same way.
But woe to you who are rich,
for you have received your consolation.
But woe to you who are filled now,
for you will be hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will grieve and weep.
Woe to you when all speak well of you,
for their ancestors treated the false
prophets in this way.”

A reading from the first letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians
1 COR 5:1-8

.

Brothers and sisters:
It is widely reported that there is immorality among you,
and immorality of a kind not found even among pagans–
a man living with his father’s wife.
And you are inflated with pride.
Should you not rather have been sorrowful?
The one who did this deed should be expelled from your midst.
I, for my part, although absent in body but present in spirit,
have already, as if present,
pronounced judgment on the one who has committed this deed,
in the name of our Lord Jesus:
when you have gathered together and I am with you in spirit
with the power of the Lord Jesus,
you are to deliver this man to Satan
for the destruction of his flesh,
so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.

Your boasting is not appropriate.
Do you not know that a little yeast leavens all the dough?
Clear out the old yeast, so that you may become a fresh batch of dough,
inasmuch as you are unleavened.
For our Paschal Lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed.
Therefore, let us celebrate the feast,
not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness,
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

From the Gospel according to Luke
LK 6:6-11

.

On a certain sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught,
and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.
The scribes and the Pharisees watched him closely
to see if he would cure on the sabbath
so that they might discover a reason to accuse him.
But he realized their intentions
and said to the man with the withered hand,
“Come up and stand before us.”
And he rose and stood there.
Then Jesus said to them,
“I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the sabbath
rather than to do evil,
to save life rather than to destroy it?”
Looking around at them all, he then said to him,
“Stretch out your hand.”
He did so and his hand was restored.
But they became enraged
and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.
