Viernes Santo

Viernes, Abril 15 - 2022 Visperas Liturgia de Las Horas Viernes Semana Santa

1Pe 2, 21b-24   Cristo padeció por nosotros, dejándonos un ejemplo para que sigamos sus huellas. Él no cometió pecado ni encontraron engaño en su boca; cuando le insultaban, no devolvía el insulto; en su pasión no profería amenazas; al contrario, se ponía en manos del que juzga justamente. Cargado con nuestros pecados subió al leño, para que, muertos al pecado, vivamos para la justicia. Sus heridas nos han curado.

Jesús, después de haber probado el vinagre, exclamó: «Todo está cumplido»; e, inclinando la cabeza, expiró.

Good Friday

Friday Lauds Morning Prayer Holy Week

Isaiah 52:13-15    See, my servant will prosper, he shall be lifted up, exalted, rise to great heights. As the crowds were appalled on seeing him – so disfigured did he look that he seemed no longer human – so will the crowds be astonished at him, and kings stand speechless before him; for they shall see something never told and witness something never heard before.

God did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all.

Take pity on me, Lord, in your mercy;

in your abundance of mercy wipe out my guilt.

Wash me ever more from my guilt

and cleanse me from my sin.

For I know how guilty I am:

my sin is always before me.

Against you, you alone have I sinned,

and I have done evil in your sight.

Know this, so that you may give just sentences

and an unbiased judgment.

See, I was conceived in guilt,

in sin my mother conceived me;

but you love truth in the heart,

and deep within me, you have shown me your wisdom.

You will sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be made clean;

you will wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

You will make me hear the sound of joy and gladness;

the bones you have crushed will rejoice.

Turn your face away from my sins

and wipe out all my transgressions;

create a pure heart in me, God,

put a steadfast spirit into me.

Do not send me away from your presence,

or withdraw your holy spirit from me;

give me again the joy of your salvation,

and be ready to strengthen me with your spirit.

I will teach the unjust your ways,

and the impious will return to you.

Free me from the guilt of bloodshed, God, God my savior,

and my voice will glory in your justice.

Open my lips, Lord,

and my mouth will proclaim your praise;

for you do not delight in sacrifices:

if I offered you a burnt offering, it would not please you.

The true sacrifice is a broken spirit:

a contrite and humble heart, O God, you will not refuse.

Be pleased, Lord, to look kindly on Zion,

so that the walls of Jerusalem can be rebuilt,

Then indeed you will accept the proper sacrifices, gifts, and burnt offerings;

then indeed will bullock be laid upon your altar.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

Jueves Santo

Jueves, Abril 14 - 2022 Visperas Liturgia de Las Horas Jueves Semana Santa

Hb 13, 12-15   Jesús, para santificar con su propia sangre al pueblo, padeció la muerte fuera de la ciudad. Salgamos, pues, hacia él fuera del campamento, cargando con su oprobio. Porque no tenemos aquí ciudad permanente, sino que vamos buscando la futura. Por medio de él ofrezcamos continuamente a Dios un sacrificio de alabanza, es decir, el tributo de los labios que van bendiciendo su nombre.

El Señor librará al pobre que clamaba, al afligido que no tenía protector.

Holy Week

Thursday Lauds Morning Prayer Holy Week

Hebrews 2:9-10    We have seen Jesus crowned with glory and splendor because he submitted to death; by God’s grace, he had to experience death for all mankind. As it was his purpose to bring a great many of his sons into glory, it was appropriate that God, for whom everything exists and through whom everything exists, should make perfect, through suffering, the leader who would take them to their salvation.

The Lord fed us with the finest wheat, he filled us with honey from the rock.

Shout with joy to God our helper,

rejoice in the God of Jacob.

Take up the song, sound the timbrel,

play on the lyre and the harp.

At the start of the month, sound the trumpet,

at the full moon, at our festival.

For this is the law for Israel,

the decree of the God of Jacob.

He gave it to Joseph, as a witness

when he went out of the land of Egypt;

with words that had never been heard:

“I freed his back from burdens;

his hands were freed from heavy loads.

In your tribulation, you called on me and I freed you,

I heard you from the heart of the storm,

I tested you at the waters of Meribah.

Listen, my people, and I will put my case –

Israel, if you would only hear me!

You shall not have any strange god,

you shall not worship the gods of foreigners.

For I am the Lord, your God,

who led you out of the land of Egypt.

Open wide your mouth and I shall fill it.

But my people did not hear my voice:

Israel did not turn to me.

So I let them go on in the hardness of their hearts,

and follow their own counsels.

If my people had heard me,

if only they had walked in my ways –

I would swiftly have crushed their enemies,

stretched my hand over those who persecuted them.

The enemies of the Lord would be overcome with weakness,

Israel would be a good fortune, forever:

I would feed them full of the richest wheat

and give them honey from the rock,

to their heart’s content.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

Miércoles Semana Santa

Miércoles, Abril 13 - 2022 Visperas Liturgia de Las Horas Miércoles Semana Santa

Ef 4, 32—5, 2   Sed bondadosos y compasivos unos con otros, y perdonaos mutuamente como también Dios os ha perdonado en Cristo. Sed en una palabra, imitadores de Dios, como hijos amados que sois. Y vivid en el amor a ejemplo de Cristo, que os amó y se entregó por nosotros a Dios como oblación de suave fragancia.

Él tomó sobre sí el pecado de las multitudes e intercedió por los pecadores.

Wednesday Lauds Morning Prayer Holy Week 

Isaiah 50:5-7    The Lord has opened my ear. For my part, I made no resistance, neither did I turn away. I offered my back to those who struck me, my cheeks to those who tore at my beard; I did not cover my face against insult and spittle. The Lord comes to my help so that I am untouched by the insults. So, too, I set my face like flint; I know I shall not be shamed.

God has made Jesus Christ our wisdom and our virtue, our holiness and our freedom.

The Lord reigns! Let the earth rejoice,

let the many islands be glad.

Clouds and dark mist surround him,

his throne is founded on law and justice.

Fire precedes him,

burning up his enemies all around.

His lightning light up the globe;

the earth sees and trembles.

The mountains flow like wax at the sight of the Lord,

at the sight of the Lord, the earth dissolves.

The heavens proclaim his justice

and all peoples see his glory.

Let them be dismayed, who worship carved things,

who take pride in the images they make.

All his angels, worship him.

Zion heard and was glad,

the daughters of Judah rejoiced

because of your judgments, O Lord.

For you are the Lord, the Highest over all the earth,

far above all other gods.

You who love the Lord, hate evil!

The Lord protects the lives of his consecrated ones:

he will free them from the hands of sinners.

A light has arisen for the just,

and gladness for the upright in heart.

Rejoice, you just, in the Lord

and proclaim his holiness.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

Martes Semana Santa

Martes, Abril 12 - 2022 Visperas Liturgia de Las Horas Martes Semana Santa

1Co 1, 27b-30   Lo débil del mundo lo ha escogido Dios para humillar el poder. Aún más: ha escogido la gente baja del mundo, lo despreciable, lo que no cuenta, para anular a lo que cuenta; de modo que nadie pueda gloriarse en presencia del Señor. Por él vosotros sois en Cristo Jesús, en este Cristo que Dios ha hecho para nosotros sabiduría, justicia, santificación y redención.

Fuiste degollado, Señor, y por tu sangre nos compraste para Dios.

Tuesday Lauds Morning Prayer Holy Week 

Zechariah 12:10-11    Over the House of David and the citizens of Jerusalem, I will pour out a spirit of kindness and prayer. They will look on the one whom they have pierced; they will mourn for him as for an only son, and weep for him as people weep for a first-born child. When that day comes, there will be a great mourning in Judah.

Lord, plead my cause; from deceitful and cunning men rescue me.

Vindicate me, Lord:

judge my case against an unholy nation,

rescue me from betrayers, from the wicked.

For you are the God of my refuge;

why have you rejected me?

why must I suffer while my enemies torment me?

Send forth your light and your truth;

let them lead me away,

let them lead me up to your holy mountain,

up to your sanctuary.

I shall go into the altar of God,

to the God of my gladness and joy.

I will sing out to you on the lyre,

O God, my God.

Why are you so sad, my soul,

and anxious within me?

Put your hope in the Lord, I will praise him still,

my savior and my God.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

Lunes, Abril 11 - 2022 Visperas Liturgia de Las Horas Lunes Semana Santa 

Rm 5, 8-9   Dios nos demuestra el amor que nos tiene en el hecho de que, siendo todavía pecadores, murió Cristo por nosotros. Así que con mayor razón, ahora que hemos sido justificados por su sangre, seremos salvados por él de la cólera divina.

Ant 1. Lo vimos sin aspecto atrayente, sin gracia ni belleza.

Monday Lauds Morning Prayer  Holy Week 

Jeremiah 11:19-20    I was like a trustful lamb being led to the slaughterhouse, not knowing the schemes they were plotting against me, ‘Let us destroy the tree in its strength, let us cut him off from the land of the living, so that his name may be quickly forgotten!’ But you, Lord of Hosts, who pronounce a just sentence, who probe the loins and heart, let me see the vengeance you will take on them, for I have committed my cause to you.

Jesus said: ‘My soul is sorrowful to the point of death. Wait here and keep awake with me.’

Like a deer that longs for springs of water,

so my soul longs for you, O God.

My soul thirsts for God, the living God:

when shall I come and stand before the face of God?

My tears are my food, by day and by night,

and everyone asks, “where is your God?”.

I remember how I went up to your glorious dwelling-place

and into the house of God:

the memory melts my soul.

The sound of joy and thanksgiving,

the crowds at the festival.

Why are you so sad, my soul,

and anxious within me?

Put your hope in the Lord, I will praise him still,

my savior and my God.

My soul is sad within me,

and so I will remember you

in the lands of Jordan and Hermon,

on the mountain of Mizar.

Deep calls to deep

in your rushing waters:

and all your torrents, all your waves

have flowed over me.

By day the Lord sends his kindness upon me;

by night his song is with me,

a prayer to the God of my life.

I will say to God:

“You are my support, why have you forgotten me?

Why must I go in mourning, while the enemy persecutes me?.”

As my bones break,

my persecutors deride me,

all the time saying “where is your God?.”

Why are you so sad, my soul,

and anxious within me?

Put your hope in the Lord, I will praise him still,

my savior and my God.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.
