Ezekiel 37:12-14   The Lord says this: I am now going to open your graves; I mean to raise you from your graves, my people, and lead you back to the soil of Israel. And you will know that I am the Lord when I open your graves and raise you from your graves, my people. And I shall put my spirit in you, and you will live, and I shall resettle you on your own soil; and you will know that I, the Lord, have said and done this – it is the Lord who speaks.

His splendor is above heaven and earth, he has raised up the strength of his people. This song is for all his chosen ones, the children of Israel, the people close to him.

Escucha, Israel: El Señor, nuestro Dios, es solamente uno. Amarás al Señor, tu Dios, con todo el corazón, con toda el alma, con todas las fuerzas.

Ahora, Señor, según tu promesa,

Saturday, July 10 Evening Prayer Week 14 Ordinary Time

Hebrews 13:20-21   I pray that the God of peace, who brought our Lord Jesus back from the dead to become the great Shepherd of the sheep by the blood that sealed an eternal covenant, may make you ready to do his will in any kind of good action; and turn us all into whatever is acceptable to himself through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever, Amen.

For this, God has raised him high, and given him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bend,

in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, and every tongue will proclaim

“Jesus Christ is Lord,” to the glory of God the Father.

Romans 12:14-16  Bless those who persecute you: never curse them, bless them. Rejoice with those who rejoice and be sad with those in sorrow. Treat everyone with equal kindness; never be condescending but make real friends with the poor.

When I see the heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon, and stars, which you set in their place –what is man, that you should take thought for him? what is the son of man, that you should look after him?

You have made him but one step lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor; you have set him over the works of your hands.

1Co 2,7-10   Enseñamos una sabiduría divina, misteriosa, escondida, predestinada por Dios antes de los siglos para nuestra gloria. Ninguno de los príncipes de este mundo la ha conocido; pues, si la hubiesen conocido, nunca hubieran crucificado al Señor de la gloria. Sino, como está escrito: «Ni el ojo vio, ni el oído oyó, ni el hombre puede pensar lo que Dios ha preparado para los que le aman.» Y Dios nos lo ha revelado por el Espíritu.

Grandes y maravillosas son tus obras,

1 Corinthians 2:7-10  The hidden wisdom of God which we teach in our mysteries is the wisdom that God predestined to be for our glory before the ages began. It is a wisdom that none of the masters of this age have ever known, or they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory; we teach what scripture calls: the things that no eye has seen and no ear has heard, things beyond the mind of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him. These are the very things that God has revealed to us through the Spirit.

For you alone are holy.

All nations shall come and worship you,

for your judgments have been revealed.

Ephesians 2:13-16   Now in Christ Jesus, you that used to be so far apart from us have been brought very close, by the blood of Christ. For he is the peace between us and has made the two into one and broken down the barrier which used to keep them apart, actually destroying in his own person the hostility caused by the rules and decrees of the Law. This was to create one single New Man in himself out of the two of them and by restoring peace through the cross, to unite them both in a single Body and reconcile them with God: in his own person, he killed the hostility.
