17TH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME/17º DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
RESPONSORIAL PSALM 23 R/. The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.
Second Reading Eph 4:1 –6
A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians Brothers and sisters: I, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace: one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Homily-Profession of Faith—Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, True God from True God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suf-fered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
Gospel Acclamation R. Alleluia, alleluia. A great prophet has risen in our midst. God has visited his people. R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel Jn 6:1-15 The Lord be with you. And with your spirit. A reading from the holy Gospel according to John Glory to you, O Lord. Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee. A large crowd followed him, because they saw the signs he was perform-ing on the sick. Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. The Jewish feast of Passover was near.When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip, “Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?” He said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip an-swered him, “Two hundred days’ wages worth of food would not be enough for each of them to have a little.” One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?” Jesus said, “Have the people recline.” Now there was a great deal of grass in that place. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted. When they had had their fill, he said to his disci-ples, “Gather the fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted.” So they collected them, and filled twelve wicker baskets with frag-ments from the five barley loaves that had been more than they could eat. When the people saw the sign he had done, they said, “This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world.”
Since Jesus knew that they were going to come and carry him off to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain alone. The Gospel of the Lord Praise to you , Lord Jesus Christ
First Reading 2Kgs 4:42-44 A reading from the second Book of Kings A man came from Baal-shalishah bringing to Elisha, the man of God, twenty barley loaves made from the firstfruits, and fresh grain in the ear. Elisha said, “Give it to the people to eat.” But his servant objected, “How can I set this before a hundred people?” Elisha insisted, “Give it to the people to eat.” “For thus says the LORD, ‘They shall eat and there shall be some left over.’” And when they had eaten, there was some left over, as the LORD had said. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Primera Lectura 2 Reyes 4:42-44 Lectura del Segundo libro de los Reyes En aquellos días, llegó de Baal-Salisá un hombre que traía para el siervo de Dios, Eliseo, como primicias, veinte panes de cebada y grano tierno en espiga. Entonces Eliseo dijo a su criado: “Dáselos a la gente para que coman”. Pero él le respondió: “¿Cómo voy a repartir estos panes entre cien hombres?” Eliseo insistió: “Dáselos a la gente para que coman, porque esto dice el Señor: ‘Comerán todos y sobrará’ ”. El criado rep-artió los panes a la gente; todos comieron y todavía sobró, como había dicho el Señor.
Palabra de Dios. Te alabamos, Señor.
Salmo Responsorial 22
R. / Bendeciré al Señor eternamente.
Segunda Lectura Ef 4, 1-6 Lectura de la carta del apóstol san Pablo a los efesios Hermanos: Yo, Pablo, prisionero por la causa del Señor, los exhorto a que lleven una vida digna del llamamiento que han recibido. Sean siem-pre humildes y amables; sean comprensivos y sopórtense mutuamente con amor; esfuércense en mantenerse unidos en el Espíritu con el vínculo de la paz. Porque no hay más que un solo cuerpo y un solo Espíritu, co-mo también una sola es la esperanza del llamamiento que ustedes han recibido. Un solo Señor, una sola fe, un solo bautismo, un solo Dios y Padre de todos, que reina sobre todos, actúa a través de todos y vive en todos. Palabra de Dios. Te alabamos, Señor.
Aclamación del Evangelio R. Aleluya, aleluya. Un gran profeta ha surgido entre nosotros. Dios ha visitado a su pueblo. R. Aleluya.
Homilía– Profesión de Fe– Credo Niceno Creo en un solo Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la tierra, de todo lo visible y lo invisible. Creo en un solo Señor, Jesucristo, Hijo único de Dios, nacido del Padre antes de todos los siglos: Dios de Dios, Luz de Luz, Dios verdadero de Dios verdadero, engendrado no creado, de la misma naturaleza del Padre, por quien todo fue hecho; que por nosotros los hombres, y por nues-tra salvación bajó del cielo, _________ Y por obra del Espíritu Santo se encarnó de María, la Virgen, y se hizo hombre; _________ Y por nuestra causa fue crucificado en tiempos de Poncio Pilato, padeció y fue sepultado, y resucitó al tercer día, según las Escri-turas, y subió al cielo, y está sentado a la derecha del Padre; Y de nuevo vendrá con Gloria para juzgar a vivos y Muertos, y su reino no tendrá fin. Creo en el Espíritu Santo, Señor y dador de vida, que procede del Padre y el Hijo recibe una misma adoración y gloria, y que habló por los profetas. Creo el la Iglesia, que es una, santa, católica y apostólica. Confieso que hay un solo Bautismo para el perdón de los pe-cados. Espero la resurrección de los Muertos y la vida del mundo futuro. Amén.

EVANGELIO JN 6, 1–15 El Señor esté con ustedes. Y con tu espíritu. Lectura del santo Evangelio según san Juan Gloria a ti Señor. En aquel tiempo, Jesús se fue a la otra orilla del mar de Galilea o lago de Tiberíades. Lo seguía mucha gente, porque habían visto los signos que hacía curando a los enfermos. Jesús subió al monte y se sentó allí con sus discípulos. Estaba cerca la Pascua, festividad de los judíos. Viendo Jesús que mucha gente lo seguía, le dijo a Felipe: “¿Cómo compraremos pan para que coman éstos?” Le hizo esta pregunta para ponerlo a prueba, pues él bien sabía lo que iba a hacer. Felipe le respondió: “Ni doscientos denarios de pan bastarían para que a cada uno le tocara un pedazo de pan”. Otro de sus discípulos, Andrés, el hermano de Simón Pedro, le dijo: “Aquí hay un muchacho que trae cinco panes de cebada y dos pes-cados. Pero, ¿qué es eso para tanta gente?” Jesús le respondió: “Díganle a la gente que se siente”. En aquel lugar había mucha hierba. Todos, pues, se sentaron ahí; y tan sólo los hombres eran unos cinco mil. Ense-guida tomó Jesús los panes, y después de dar gracias a Dios, se los fue repartiendo a los que se habían sentado a comer. Igualmente les fue dan-do de los pescados todo lo que quisieron. Después de que todos se saci-aron, dijo a sus discípulos: “Recojan los pedazos sobrantes, para que no se desperdicien”. Los recogieron y con los pedazos que sobraron de los cinco panes llenaron doce canastos. Entonces la gente, al ver el signo que Jesús había hecho, decía: “Éste es, en verdad, el profeta que habría de venir al mundo”. Pero Jesús, sabiendo que iban a llevárselo para
proclamarlo rey, se retiró de nuevo a la montaña, él solo. Palabra del Señor Gloria a ti, Señor Jesús .
