March 6, 2016 – 6 de marzo del 2016 Fourth Sunday of Lent – Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma Reading from the Book of Joshua Jos 5:9a, 10-12 The people of God celebrate the Passover after entering into the promised land. Lectura del libro de Josué Jos 5:9a, 10-12 El pueblo de Dios celebra la Pascua, después de entrar en la tierra prometida. The LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have removed the reproach of Egypt from you.” En aquellos días, el Señor dijo a Josué: "Hoy os he despojado del oprobio de Egipto." While the Israelites were encamped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they celebrated the Passover on the evening of the fourteenth of the month. On the day after the Passover, they ate of the produce of the land in the form of unleavened cakes and parched grain. On that same day after the Passover, on which they ate of the produce of the land, the manna ceased. No longer was there manna for the Israelites, who that year ate of the yield of the land of Canaan. Los israelitas acamparon en Guilgal y celebraron la Pascua al atardecer del día catorce del mes, en la estepa de Jericó. El día siguiente a la Pascua, ese mismo día, comieron del fruto de la tierra: panes ázimos y espigas fritas. Cuando comenzaron a comer del fruto de la tierra, cesó el maná. Los israelitas ya no tuvieron maná, sino que aquel año comieron de la cosecha de la tierra de Canaán. Palabra de Dios. The Word of the Lord. Todos responden: Te alabamos Señor.

LEADER: A READING FROM THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SAINT LUKE Lk 15:1-3, 11-32 ALL RESPOND: GLORY TO YOU, LORD. Lc 15:1-3, 11-32 TODOS RESPONDEN: GLORIA A TI SEÑOR Este hermano tuyo estaba muerto y ha revivido. Your brother was dead and has come to life again. Tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to listen to Jesus, but the Pharisees and scribes began to complain, saying, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.” So to them Jesus addressed this parable: “A man had two sons, and the younger son said to his father, ‘Father give me the share of your estate that should come to me.’ So the father divided the property between them. After a few days, the younger son collected all his belongings and set off to a distant country where he squandered his inheritance on a life of dissipation. When he had freely spent everything, a severe famine struck that country, and he found himself in dire need. So he hired himself out to one of the local citizens who sent him to his farm to tend the swine. And he longed to eat his fill of the pods on which the swine fed, but nobody gave him any. Coming to his senses he thought, ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have more than enough food to eat, but here am I, dying from hunger. I shall get up and go to my father and I shall say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son; treat me as you would treat one of your hired workers.”’ So he got up and went back to his father. While he was still a long way off, his father caught sight of him, and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him and kissed him. His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I no longer deserve to be called your son.’ But his father ordered his servants, ‘Quickly bring the finest robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Take the fattened calf and slaughter it. Then let us celebrate with a feast, because this son of mine was dead, and has come to life again; he was lost, and has been found.’ Then the celebration began. Now the older son had been out in the field and, on his way back, as he neared the house, he heard the sound of music and dancing. He called one of the servants and asked what this might mean. The servant said to him, ‘Your brother has returned and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’ He became angry, and when he refused to enter the house, his father came out and pleaded with him. He said to his father in reply, ‘Look, all these years I served you and not once did I disobey your orders; yet you never gave me even a young goat to feast on with my friends. But when your son returns who swallowed up your property with prostitutes, for him you slaughter the fattened calf.’ He said to him, ‘My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours. But now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’” En aquel tiempo, solían acercarse a Jesús los publicanos y los pecadores a escucharle. Y los fariseos y los escribas murmuraban entre ellos: "Ése acoge a los pecadores y come con ellos." Jesús les dijo esta parábola: "Un hombre tenía dos hijos; el menor de ellos dijo a su padre: "Padre, dame la parte que me toca de la fortuna." El padre les repartió los bienes. No muchos días después, el hijo menor, juntando todo lo suyo, emigró a un país lejano, y allí derrochó su fortuna viviendo perdidamente. Cuando lo había gastado todo, vino por aquella tierra un hambre terrible, y empezó él a pasar necesidad. Fue entonces y tanto le insistió a un habitante de aquel país que lo mandó a sus campos a guardar cerdos. Le entraban ganas de llenarse el estómago de las algarrobas que comían los cerdos; y nadie le daba de comer. Recapacitando entonces, se dijo: "Cuántos jornaleros de mi padre tienen abundancia de pan, mientras yo aquí me muero de hambre. Me pondré en camino adonde está mi padre, y le diré: Padre, he pecado contra el cielo y contra ti; ya no merezco llamarme hijo tuyo: trátame como a uno de tus jornaleros." Se puso en camino adonde estaba su padre; cuando todavía estaba lejos, su padre lo vio y se conmovió; y, echando a correr, se le echó al cuello y se puso a besarlo. Su hijo le dijo: "Padre, he pecado contra el cielo y contra ti; ya no merezco llamarme hijo tuyo. " Pero el padre dijo a sus criados: "Sacad en seguida el mejor traje y vestidlo; ponedle un anillo en la mano y sandalias en los pies; traed el ternero cebado y matadlo; celebremos un banquete, porque este hijo mío estaba muerto y ha revivido; estaba perdido, y lo hemos encontrado." Y empezaron el banquete. Su hijo mayor estaba en el campo. Cuando al volver se acercaba a la casa, oyó la música y el baile, y llamando a uno de los mozos, le preguntó qué pasaba. Éste le contesto: "Ha vuelto tu hermano; y tu padre ha matado el ternero cebado, porque lo ha recobrado con salud." Él se indignó y se negaba a entrar; pero su padre salió e intentaba persuadirlo. Y él replicó a su padre: "Mira: en tantos años como te sirvo, sin desobedecer nunca una orden tuya, a mí nunca me has dado un cabrito para tener un banquete con mis amigos; y cuando ha venido ese hijo tuyo que se ha comido tus bienes con malas mujeres, le matas el ternero cebado." El padre le dijo: "Hijo, tú siempre estás conmigo, y todo lo mío es tuyo: deberías alegrarte, porque este hermano tuyo estaba muerto y ha revivido; estaba perdido, y lo hemos encontrado.""
