CHRIST OUR LIGHT CATHOLIC CHURCH
Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston
Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
"If we love one another, God remains in us
and his love is brought to perfection in us."
CRISTO NUESTRA LUZ IGLESIA CATÓLICA
Archidiócesis de Galveston-Houston
XXVII Domingo Ordinario
"Si nos amamos los unos a los otros,
Dios permanece en nosotros
y su amor ha llegado en nosotros a su plenitud."
Sunday Readings:
Genesis 2:18–24 The two of them become one flesh.
Psalm 128 “May the Lord bless us all the days of our lives.”
Hebrews 2:9–11 He who consecrates and those who are being consecrated all have one origin.
Mark 10:2–16 Therefore, what God has joined together, or 10:2–12 let no human being separate.
Today we travel back in time to when God created humankind. Realizing that the first human needed a suitable partner, God formed a woman out of the man’s own body. In the Gospel, Jesus quotes the line that ends the first reading—that husband and wife are formed as one flesh—to speak of this new entity. He follows this lesson by welcoming children, telling the disciples that one must accept the kingdom of God like a child. Listening to scripture today, let us embrace the innocence and wonder of a new being. ~ from Pastoral Patterns, fall 2021
Lecturas dominicales:
Lecturas dominicales:
Génesis 2, 18–24; Salmo 127; Hebreos 2, 8–11; Marcos 10, 2–16 o 10, 2–12
Hoy nos remontamos al momento en que Dios creó a los seres humanos. Sabiendo que el primer ser humano necesitaba una compañera apta, Dios formó a la mujer del mismo cuerpo del hombre. En el Evangelio Jesús cita la frase con la cual termina la primera lectura —que el esposo y la esposa son los dos una sola carne— para referirse a esta nueva entidad. Él termina esta lección tomando en brazo a unos niños y diciéndoles a los discípulos que uno debe aceptar el Reino de Dios como un niño. Que las Escrituras de hoy nos inspiren a adoptar la inocencia y la capacidad de asombro de un nuevo ser. ~de las publicaciones de WLP Gia, Pastoral Patterns
