LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Ya que él ofreció su vida como sacrificio
por el pecado, el proyecto de Dios prosperará en sus manos
(Isaías 53:10-11).
Salmo - Muéstrate bondadoso con nosotros, Señor (Salmo 33).
Segunda lectura — Porque tenemos un sumo sacerdote que
ha sido probado en todo, a excepción del pecado, acerquémonos
con plena confianza al Dios de bondad (Hebreos 4:14-16).
Evangelio — El Hijo del Hombre ha venido a servir y a dar su
vida como rescate por una muchedumbre (Marcos 10:35-45).
PRO-LIFE CORNER - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said: “In
keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that
no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and
it will rise up a thousand fold in the future.” This certainly
applies to abortion and euthanasia today.
