PRAYER OF THE DAY P: Bendecido Salvador Jesucristo, tú mismo te nos diste en el sacramento de la sagrada comunion.

Manténnos en la verdadera fe y en tu favor para que podamos vivir en ti así como tú vives en nosotros. Que tu cuerpo y sangre conserve en nosostros la verdadera fe y transforme nuestro cuerpo mortal en la incorruptibilidad de la vida eterna. Escúchanos por tu nombre.

Blessed Savior, Jesus Christ, you have given yourself to us in the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Keep us in your faith and favor that we may live in you as you live in us. May your body and blood preserve us in the true faith to life everlasting. Hear us for the sake of your name.

C: Amen. FIRST LESSON Isaiah 40:28-31 28Do you not know? Have you not heard? TheLordis the everlastingGod, the Creatorof the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. 29He gives strengthto the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30Even youths grow tired and weary, and young menstumble and fall; 31but those who hopein theLord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

28¿Acaso no lo sabes? ¿Acaso no te has enterado? ElSeñores el Dios eterno, creador de los confines de la tierra. No se cansa ni se fatiga, y su inteligencia es insondable. 29Él fortalece al cansado y acrecienta las fuerzas del débil. 30Aun los jóvenes se cansan, se fatigan, y los muchachos tropiezan y caen; 31pero los que confían en elSeñor renovarán sus fuerzas; volarán como las águilas: correrán y no se fatigarán, caminarán y no se cansarán.

SECOND LESSON I Corinthians 11:23-32 23For I received from the Lordwhat I also passed on to you:The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,24and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said,“This is my body,which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”25In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying,“This cup is the new covenantin my blood;do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”26For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

23Yo recibí del Señor lo mismo que les transmití a ustedes: Que el Señor Jesús, la noche en que fue traicionado, tomó pan,24y, después de dar gracias, lo partió y dijo:«Este pan es mi cuerpo, que por ustedes entrego; hagan esto en memoria de mí».25De la misma manera, después de cenar, tomó la copa y dijo:«Esta copa es el nuevo pacto en mi sangre; hagan esto, cada vez que beban de ella, en memoria de mí».26Porque cada vez que comen este pan y beben de esta copa, proclaman la muerte del Señor hasta que él venga.

5

27So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.28Everyone ought to examine themselvesbefore they eat of the bread and drink from the cup.29For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.30That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.31But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.32Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplinedso that we will not be finally condemned with the world.

27Por lo tanto, cualquiera que coma el pan o beba de la copa del Señor de manera indigna será culpable de pecar contra el cuerpo y la sangre del Señor.28Así que cada uno debe examinarse a sí mismo antes de comer el pan y beber de la copa.29Porque el que come y bebe sin discernir el cuerpo come y bebe su propia condena.30Por eso hay entre ustedes muchos débiles y enfermos, e incluso varios han muerto.31Si nos examináramos a nosotros mismos, no se nos juzgaría;32pero, si nos juzga el Señor, nos disciplina para que no seamos condenados con el mundo.

GOSPEL Matthew 26:26-30 M: The Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew. C: Glory be to you, O Christ! 26While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke itand gave it to his disciples, saying,“Take and eat; this is my body.” 27Then he took a cup,and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying,“Drink from it, all of you.28This is my blood of the covenant,which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.29I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with youin my Father’s kingdom.” 30When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

26 Mientras comían, Jesús tomó pan y lo bendijo. Luego lo partió y se lo dio a sus discípulos, diciéndoles: —Tomen y coman; esto es mi cuerpo. 27Después tomó la copa, dio gracias, y se la ofreció diciéndoles: —Beban de ella todos ustedes.28Esto es mi sangre del pacto, que es derramada por muchos para el perdón de pecados.29Les digo que no beberé de este fruto de la vid desde ahora en adelante, hasta el día en que beba con ustedes el vino nuevo en el reino de mi Padre. 30Después de cantar los salmos, salieron al monte de los Olivos.

M: This is the Gospel of our Lord! C: Praise be to you, O Christ!

SERMON Why Am I Here? | To Eat and Drink for Forgiveness Matthew 26:26-30

¿Por qué estoy aquí? | Para comer y beber para el perdon

Mateo 26:26-30

NICENE CREED I believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the

Creo en un solo Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la tierra, y de todo lo visible e invisible. Y creo en un solo Señor Jesucristo, Hijo unigénito de Dios; engendrado del Padre antes de todos los siglos, Dios de Dios, Luz de Luz, verdadero Dios de verdadero Dios, engendrado y no hecho,

Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and became fully human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again 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 in unity with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

consustancial al Padre, y por quien todas las cosas fueron hechas; el cual por amor de nosotros y por nuestra salvación, descendió del cielo y, encarnado en la Virgen María por el Espíritu Santo, fue hecho hombre; y fue crucificado también por nosotros bajo el poder de Poncio Pilatos. Padeció y fue sepultado, y resucito al tercer día según las Escrituras; y ascendió a los cielos, y esta sentado a la diestra del Padre; y vendrá otra vez en gloria a juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos, y su reino no tendrá fin. Y creo en el Espíritu Santo, Señor y Dador de vida, que procede del Padre y del Hijo, que con el Padre y el Hijo juntamente es adorado y glorificado, que habló por medio de los Profetas. Y creo en una santa iglesia cristiana y apostólica. Confieso que hay un solo bautismo para la remisión de los pecados; y espero la resurrección de los muertos, y la vida del mundo venidero. Amén.

P: It is indeed good and right, Lord God, holy Father, that we should at all times and in all places give thanks to you, through Jesus Christ our Lord who, having created all things, took on human flesh and was born of the virgin Mary.

Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

Padre nuestro que estás en el cielo, santificado sea tu nombre. Venga a nos tu reino. Hágase tu voluntad. Así en la tierra como en el cielo. Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día. Perdona nuestras ofensas como también perdonamos los que nos ofenden. No nos dejes caer en la tentación más líbranos del mal. Porque tuyo es el reino el poder y la gloria por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING P: Blessed are you, O Lord of heaven and earth. We praise and thank you for sending your Son, Jesus

Christ, and we remember the great acts of love through which he has ransomed us from sin, death, and the devil’s power. By his incarnation, he became one with us. By his perfect life, he fulfilled your holy will. By his innocent death, he overcame hell. By his rising from the grave, he opened heaven. Invited by your grace and instructed by your Word, we approach your table with repentant and joyful hearts. Strengthen us through Christ’s body and blood, and preserve us in the true faith until we feast with him and all his ransomed people in glory everlasting.

C: Amen. WORDS OF INSTITUION P: Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, la noche en que fue entregado, tomó pan; y habiendo dado gracias, lo

partió y dio a sus discípulos, diciendo: Tomen y coman; esto es mi cuerpo que por ustedes es dado. Hagan esto en memoria de mí. Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night he was betrayed, took bread; and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” Asimismo, tomó la copa, después de haber cenado, y habiendo dado gracias, la dio a ellos, diciendo: Beban de ella todos; esta copa es el nuevo pacto en mi sangre, que es derramada por ustedes para perdón de los pecados. Hagan esto, todas las veces que beban, en memoria de mí. Then he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for you for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” La paz del Señor sea con todos ustedes siempre. The peace of the Lord be with you always.
