Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time XXIV Domingo Ordinario

September 13, 2020

Primera lectura Ec. (Sirach) 27:33—29 Cosas abominables son el rencor y la cólera; sin embargo, el pecador se aferra a ellas. El Señor se vengará del vengativo y llevará rigurosa cuenta de sus pecados. Perdona la ofensa a tu prójimo, y así, cuando pidas perdón, se te perdonarán tus pecados. Si un hombre le guarda rencor a otro, ¿le puede acaso pedir la salud al Señor? El que no tiene compasión de un semejante, ¿cómo pide perdón de sus pecados? Cuando el hombre que guarda rencor pide a Dios el perdón de sus pecados, ¿hallará quien interceda por él? Piensa en tu fin y deja de odiar, piensa en la corrupción del sepulcro y guarda los mandamientos. Ten presentes los mandamientos y no guardes rencor a tu prójimo. Recuerda la alianza del Altísimo y pasa por alto las ofensas.

Salmo PS 102: 1-4, 9-12

R. (8) El Señor es compasivo y misericordioso. Bendice, al Señor, alma mía; que todo mi ser bendiga su santo nombre. Bendice, al Señor, alma mía, y no te olvides de sus beneficios.

R. El Señor es compasivo y misericordioso. El Señor perdona tus pecados y cura tus enfermedades; él rescata tu vida del sepulcro y te colma de amor y de ternura.

R. El Señor es compasivo y misericordioso. El Señor no nos condena para siempre, ni nos guarda rencor perpetuo. No nos trata como merecen nuestras culpas, ni nos paga según nuestros pecados.

R. El Señor es compasivo y misericordioso. Como desde la tierra hasta el cielo, así es de grande su misericordia; como un padre es compasivo con sus hijos, así es compasivo el Señor con quien lo ama. R. El Señor es compasivo y misericordioso.

First Reading Sirach 27:30—28 Wrath and anger are hateful things, yet the sinner hugs them tight. The vengeful will suffer the LORD’s vengeance, for he remembers their sins in detail. Forgive your neighbor’s injustice; then when you pray, your own sins will be forgiven. Could anyone nourish anger against another and expect healing from the LORD? Could anyone refuse mercy to another like himself, can he seek pardon for his own sins? If one who is but flesh cherishes wrath, who will forgive his sins? Remember your last days, set enmity aside; remember death and decay, and cease from sin! Think of the commandments, hate not your neighbor; remember the Most High’s covenant, and overlook faults.

Responsorial Psalm PS 103:1-4, 9-12 R. (8) The Lord is kind and merciful, slow to anger, and rich in compassion. Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all my being, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. R. The Lord is kind and merciful, slow to anger, and rich in compassion. He pardons all your iniquities, heals all your ills. He redeems your life from destruction, crowns you with kindness and compassion. R. The Lord is kind and merciful, slow to anger, and rich in compassion. He will not always chide, nor does he keep his wrath forever. Not according to our sins does he deal with us, nor does he requite us according to our crimes. R. The Lord is kind and merciful, slow to anger, and rich in compassion. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so surpassing is his kindness toward those who fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our transgressions from us. R. The Lord is kind and merciful, slow to anger, and rich in compassion.

The readings for this Sunday.

Second Reading Romans 14:7-9 Brothers and sisters: None of us lives for oneself, and no one dies for oneself. For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. For this is why Christ died and came to life, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

Alleluia R. Alleluia, alleluia. I give you a new commandment, says the Lord: love one another as I have loved you. R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Matthew 18:21-35 Peter approached Jesus and asked him, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus answered, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times. That is why the kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who decided to settle accounts with his servants. When he began the accounting, a debtor was brought before him who owed him a huge amount. Since he had no way of paying it back, his master ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, his children, and all his property, in payment of the debt. At that, the servant fell down, did him homage, and said, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back in full.’ Moved with compassion the master of that servant let him go and forgave him the loan. When that servant had left, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a much smaller amount. He seized him and started to choke him, demanding, ‘Pay back what you owe.’ Falling to his knees, his fellow servant begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’ But he refused. Instead, he had the fellow servant put in prison until he paid back the debt. Now when his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were deeply disturbed, and went to their master and reported the whole affair. His master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked serv-ant! I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to. Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on you?’ Then in anger his master handed him over to the torturers until he should pay back the whole debt. So will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you forgives your brother from your heart.”

Aleluya R. Aleluya, aleluya. Les doy un mandamiento nuevo, dice el Señor: que se amen los unos a los otros, como yo los he amado. R. Aleluya.

Evangelio Matthew 18:21-35 En aquel tiempo, Pedro se acercó a Jesús y le preguntó: “Si mi hermano me ofende, ¿cuántas veces tengo que per-donarlo? ¿Hasta siete veces?” Jesús le contestó: “No sólo hasta siete, sino hasta setenta veces siete”. Entonces Jesús les dijo: “El Reino de los cielos es semejante a un rey que quiso ajustar cuentas con sus servidores. El primero que le presentaron le debía muchos talentos. Como no tenía con qué pagar, el señor mandó que lo vendieran a él, a su mujer, a sus hijos y todas sus posesiones, para saldar la deuda. El servidor, arroján-dose a sus pies, le suplicaba, diciendo: ‘Ten paciencia conmigo y te lo pagaré todo’. El rey tuvo lástima de aquel servidor, lo soltó y hasta le perdonó la deuda. Pero, apenas había salido aquel servidor, se encontró con uno de sus compañeros, que le debía poco dinero. Entonc-es lo agarró por el cuello y casi lo estrangulaba, mientras le decía: ‘Págame lo que me debes’. El compañero se le arrodilló y le rogaba: ‘Ten paciencia conmigo y te lo pa-garé todo’. Pero el otro no quiso escucharlo, sino que fue y lo metió en la cárcel hasta que le pagara la deuda. Al ver lo ocurrido, sus compañeros se llenaron de indig-nación y fueron a contar al rey lo sucedido. Entonces el señor lo llamó y le dijo: ‘Siervo malvado. Te perdoné toda aquella deuda porque me lo suplicaste. ¿No debías tú también haber tenido compasión de tu compañero, como yo tuve compasión de ti?’ Y el señor, encolerizado, lo en-tregó a los verdugos para que no lo soltaran hasta que pagara lo que debía. Pues lo mismo hará mi Padre celestial con ustedes, si ca-da cual no perdona de corazón a su hermano’’.

Segunda lectura Rom. 14:7-9 Hermanos: Ninguno de nosotros vive para sí mismo, ni muere para sí mismo. Si vivimos, para el Señor vivimos; y si morimos, para el Señor morimos. Por lo tanto, ya sea que estemos vivos o que hayamos muerto, somos del Señor. Porque Cristo murió y resucitó para ser Señor de vivos y muertos.

HELPERS NEEDED for COVID-19 regulations at Masses.

Can you help sign in people 20 min.

before Masses, or greet/escort people to their places,

or clean-up and sanitize surfaces afterwards?

We cannot hold Masses without

this kind of help. Please call Julia at

(916) 740-9393 and tell her you will help.

M any thanks to those who have continued to support our parish during these long months of

isolating. Because Mass attendance has decreased, the offertory collections are also much less. As a comparison, income for August was $21,785.66. The amount we need per week is $18,500. It is still possible to make your offertory donation by sending it thru the mail to: St. Rose Church, P. O. Box 246070, Sacramento, CA 95824 or online at our parish website: stroseinsacramento.com. Donations can even be dropped into the black secure mailbox outside the rectory entrance.

A PRAYER FOR ENCOURAGEMENT Lord, my spirits are at a low ebb

due to circumstances beyond my control. I don’t want to complain and mope all the time,

but I am sorely tempted to do just that. Help me to acknowledgement not only

the difficulties I face, but also the strengths I have, especially the

strength to choose my own attitude. Give me the virtue of courage to take action

where I can change things for the better. Give me also the grace of acceptance

without bitterness ,where I am powerless to make a difference. Amen.

Amen.
