October 18, 2020 Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Undoubtedly we have spent much of the past week

doing things others have asked us to do: work for our

bosses, errands for our spouses, homework for our

teachers, care for our children or parents. Hopefully

we have spent part of the past week also doing the

things God asks of us, though they may overlap quite a

bit with the rest. Here and now, however, we dedicate

this time to God. Let us reflect on all the gifts God has

given us and lift our hearts and voices in thanksgiving

and praise.

18 de octubre de 2020 Vigésimo Noveno Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Indudablemente hemos pasado una buena parte de la

semana pasada haciendo cosas que otras personas nos

han pedido: trabajo para nuestros jefes o patrones,

mandaditos para nuestro cónyuge, tareas para nuestros

maestros, cuidar de nuestros hijos o padres. Ojalá que

también hayamos pasado parte de la semana pasada

haciendo las cosas que Dios nos ha pedido. Anque

probablemente hayan coincidido bastante con el resto

de lo que hicimos. Aquí y ahora, sin embargo,

dedicamos este tiempo a Dios. Consideremos todos

los dones que Dios nos ha dado y levantemos nuestro

corazón y nuestras voces en alabanzas y acción de gra-

cia. ©2020, World Library Publications

Twenty-ninth Sunday in

Ordinary Time

Isaiah 45:1, 4-6

Psalm 96

1 Thessalonians 1:1-5b

Matthew 22:15-21

Introduction to the Liturgy of the Word

Two famous rulers dominate the readings today: Cyrus

the Great and Julius Caesar. In the first reading we

hear Isaiah extol Cyrus as God’s anointed. Cyrus was

not even Jewish, but he liberated the Jewish people

when he conquered Babylon so Isaiah considered him

sent by God. In the Gospel, Jesus distinguishes God’s

role from Caesar’s when asked by the Pharisees about

paying taxes. As we listen to the word of God, let us

think of what belongs to God in our lives.

Vigésimo Noveno Domingo del

Tiempo Ordinario

Isaías 45:1, 4-6

Salmo 96

1 Tesalonicenses 1:1-5b

Mateo 22:15-21

Introducción a la Liturgia de la Palabra

Dos famosos gobernantes dominan las lecturas de hoy:

Ciro y Tiberio? En la primera lectura escuchamos a

Isaías elogiar a Ciro como ungido de Dios. Ciro ni era

judío, pero liberó al pueblo judío cuando conquistó

Babilonia y por eso Isaías lo consideraba como enviado

por Dios. En el Evangelio Jesús hace una distinción

entre el papel de Dios y el del César, cuando los fa-

riseos le hacen preguntas acerca del pago de impuestos.

Al escuchar la palabra de Dios pensemos en qué es de

Dios en nuestra vida.

RECEPTION OF HOLY COMMUNION

The safety of all is our utmost concern. Because of

this, we are not tired of reminding everyone to observe

the safety guidelines. We strongly ask everyone to

receive Holy Communion in the hand and must leave

their mask on when approaching the priest; after re-

ceiving the Sacred Host, move to the side, lower the

mask and consume the Sacred Host, then put back the

mask and return to your seat.

RECEPCIÓN DE LA SAGRADA COMUNIÓN

La seguridad de todos es primordial. Por eso le recor-

damos que todos deberán observar las reglas de seguri-

dad. Le rogamos que todos reciban la Sagrada Comu-

nión en la mano. Deberán permanecer con la máscara

hasta llegar al frente del sacerdote. Después de acep-

tar la Hostia Sagrada, moverse para el lado antes de

quitar la máscara para consumir la Hostia Sagrada.

Inmediatamente, colocar la máscara y regresar a su

asiento.
