The Word of God
The First Reading Primera Lectura
A reading from the book of First Kings [3:5-12]. Lectura del primer libro de los Reyes [3:5-12].
At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by
night; and God said, ‘Ask what I should give you.’ And
Solomon said, ‘You have shown great and steadfast love to
your servant my father David, because he walked before you
in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart
towards you; and you have kept for him this great and
steadfast love, and have given him a son to sit on his throne
today. And now, O Lord my God, you have made your
servant king in place of my father David, although I am only
a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. And
your servant is in the midst of the people whom you have
chosen, a great people, so numerous they cannot be
numbered or counted. Give your servant therefore an
understanding mind to govern your people, able to discern
between good and evil; for who can govern this your great
people?’ It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked
this. God said to him, ‘Because you have asked this, and
have not asked for yourself long life or riches, or for the life
of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding
to discern what is right, I now do according to your word.
Indeed I give you a wise and discerning mind; no one like
you has been before you and no one like you shall arise after
you.
Salomón amaba al Señor y cumplía las leyes establecidas por
David, su padre, aun cuando él mismo ofrecía sacrificios e
incienso en los lugares altos, e incluso iba a Gabaón para
ofrecer allí sacrificios, porque aquél era el lugar alto más
importante; y ofrecía en aquel lugar mil holocaustos. Una
noche, en Gabaón, el Señor se apareció en sueños a
Salomón y le dijo: «Pídeme lo que quieras, y yo te lo daré.»
Salomón respondió: «Tú trataste con gran bondad a mi
padre, tu siervo David, pues él se condujo delante de ti con
lealtad, justicia y rectitud de corazón para contigo. Por eso
lo trataste con tanta bondad y le concediste que un hijo suyo
se sentara en su trono, como ahora ha sucedido. Tú, Señor
y Dios mío, me has puesto para que reine en lugar de David,
mi padre, aunque yo soy un muchacho joven y sin
experiencia. Pero estoy al frente del pueblo que tú escogiste:
un pueblo tan grande que, por su multitud, no puede
contarse ni calcularse. Dame, pues, un corazón atento para
gobernar a tu pueblo, y para distinguir entre lo bueno y lo
malo; porque ¿quién hay capaz de gobernar a este pueblo
tuyo tan numeroso?» Al Señor le agradó que Salomón le
hiciera tal petición, y le dijo: «Porque me has pedido esto, y
no una larga vida, ni riquezas, ni la muerte de tus enemigos,
sino inteligencia para saber oír y gobernar, voy a hacer lo
que me has pedido: yo te concedo sabiduría e inteligencia
como nadie las ha tenido antes que tú ni las tendrá después
de ti.

Psalm/Salmo 105:1-11, 45b
Read responsively by the first reader and the people. Lea con atención el primer lector y la gente.
Give thanks to the Lord and call upon his Name;
make known his deeds among the peoples.
Cántenle, cántenle alabanzas;
hablen de todas sus obras maravillosas.
Glory in his holy Name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
Busquen al Señor y su poder;
busquen continuamente su rostro.
Remember the marvels he has done,
his wonders and the judgments of his mouth,
5
Oh vástago de Abrahán, su siervo,
oh hijos de Jacob, su escogido.
He is the Lord our God;
his judgments prevail in all the world.
Se acuerda eternamente de su pacto,
la promesa que hizo para mil generaciones:
The covenant he made with Abraham,
the oath that he swore to Isaac,
El cual estableció como ley para Jacob,
para Israel como pacto sempiterno,
Saying, “To you will I give the land of Canaan
to be your allotted inheritance.”
Hallelujah!
The Second Reading La Segunda Lectura
A reading from the book of Romans [8:26-39]. Lectura de la carta a los Romanos [8:26-39].
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not
know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes
with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the
heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the
Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
We know that all things work together for good for those
who love God, who are called according to his purpose. For
those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be
conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might
be the firstborn within a large family. And those whom he
predestined he also called; and those whom he called he
also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified.
What then are we to say about these things? If God is for
us, who is against us? He who did not withhold his own Son,
but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give
us everything else? Who will bring any charge against God’s
elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? It is
Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised, who is at the
right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. Who will
separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or
distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril,
or sword? As it is written, ‘For your sake we are being killed
all day long; we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered.’
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through
him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death,
nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things
to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything
else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love
of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
De igual manera, el Espíritu nos ayuda en nuestra debilidad.
Porque no sabemos orar como es debido, pero el Espíritu
mismo ruega a Dios por nosotros, con gemidos que no
pueden expresarse con palabras. Y Dios, que examina los
corazones, sabe qué es lo que el Espíritu quiere decir,
porque el Espíritu ruega, conforme a la voluntad de Dios,
por los del pueblo santo. Sabemos que Dios dispone todas
las cosas para el bien de quienes lo aman, a los cuales él ha
llamado de acuerdo con su propósito. A los que de
antemano Dios había conocido, los destinó desde un
principio a ser como su Hijo, para que su Hijo fuera el
primero entre muchos hermanos. Y a los que Dios destinó
desde un principio, también los llamó; y a los que llamó, los
hizo justos; y a los que hizo justos, les dio parte en su gloria.
¿Qué más podremos decir? ¡Que si Dios está a nuestro
favor, nadie podrá estar contra nosotros! Si Dios no nos
negó ni a su propio Hijo, sino que lo entregó a la muerte por
todos nosotros, ¿cómo no habrá de darnos también, junto
con su Hijo, todas las cosas? ¿Quién podrá acusar a los que
Dios ha escogido? Dios es quien los hace justos. ¿Quién
podrá condenarlos? Cristo Jesús es quien murió; todavía
más, quien resucitó y está a la derecha de Dios, rogando por
nosotros. ¿Quién nos podrá separar del amor de Cristo? ¿El
sufrimiento, o las dificultades, o la persecución, o el hambre,
o la falta de ropa, o el peligro, o la muerte violenta? Como
dice la Escritura: «Por causa tuya estamos siempre expuestos
a la muerte; nos tratan como a ovejas llevadas al matadero.»
Pero en todo esto salimos más que vencedores por medio
de aquel que nos amó. Estoy convencido de que nada podrá
separarnos del amor de Dios: ni la muerte, ni la vida, ni los
ángeles, ni los poderes y fuerzas espirituales, ni lo presente,
6
ni lo futuro, ni lo más alto, ni lo más profundo, ni ninguna
otra de las cosas creadas por Dios. ¡Nada podrá separarnos
del amor que Dios nos ha mostrado en Cristo Jesús nuestro
Señor!

People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Evangelista Santo Evangelio de nuestro Señor
Jesucristo, según Mateo
[13:31-33, 44-52].
Pueblo ¡Gloria a ti, Cristo Señor!
Jesus put before them another parable: ‘The kingdom of
heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed
in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has
grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that
the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.’
He told them another parable: ‘The kingdom of heaven is
like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three
measures of flour until all of it was leavened.’ ‘The kingdom
of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone
found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he
has and buys that field. ‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like
a merchant in search of fine pearls; on finding one pearl of
great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
Jesús también les contó esta parábola: «El reino de los cielos
es como una semilla de mostaza que un hombre siembra en
su campo. Es, por cierto, la más pequeña de todas las
semillas; pero cuando crece, se hace más grande que las
otras plantas del huerto, y llega a ser como un árbol, tan
grande que las aves van y se posan en sus ramas.» También
les contó esta parábola: «El reino de los cielos es como la
levadura que una mujer mezcla con tres medidas de harina
para hacer fermentar toda la masa.» »El reino de los cielos
es como un tesoro escondido en un terreno. Un hombre
encuentra el tesoro, y lo vuelve a esconder allí mismo; lleno
de alegría, va y vende todo lo que tiene, y compra ese
terreno. »Sucede también con el reino de los cielos como

‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown
into the sea and caught fish of every kind; when it was full,
they drew it ashore, sat down, and put the good into baskets
but threw out the bad. So it will be at the end of the age.
The angels will come out and separate the evil from the
righteous and throw them into the furnace of fire, where
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
’Have you
understood all this?’ They answered, ‘Yes.’ And he said to
them, ‘Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the
kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household who
brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.’
con un comerciante que andaba buscando perlas finas;
cuando encontró una de mucho valor, fue y vendió todo lo
que tenía, y compró esa perla.»Sucede también con el reino
de los cielos como con la red que se echa al mar y recoge
toda clase de pescado. Cuando la red se llena, los pescadores
la sacan a la playa, donde se sientan a escoger el pescado;
guardan el bueno en canastas y tiran el malo. Así también
sucederá al fin del mundo: saldrán los ángeles para separar
a los malos de los buenos, y echarán a los malos en el horno
de fuego. Entonces vendrán el llanto y la desesperación.»
Jesús preguntó: ¿Entienden ustedes todo esto? Sí —
contestaron ellos. Entonces Jesús les dijo: Cuando un
maestro de la ley se instruye acerca del reino de los cielos,
se parece al dueño de una casa, que de lo que tiene guardado
sabe sacar cosas nuevas y cosas viejas.

Celebrant
It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and
everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator
of heaven and earth.
But chiefly are we bound to praise you for the glorious
resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; for he is the
true paschal Lamb, who was sacrificed for us, and has taken
away the sin of the world. By his death he has destroyed
death, and by his rising to life again he has won for us
everlasting life.
Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and
Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for
ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:
Celebrante
En verdad es digno, justo y saludable, darte gracias, en todo
tiempo y lugar, Padre omnipotente, Creador de cielo y
tierra.
Pero principalmente tenemos que alabarte por la gloriosa
resurrección de tu Hijo nuestro Señor Jesucristo; pues él es
el verdadero Cordero Pascual, quien fue sacrificado por
nosotros, y ha quitado los pecados del mundo. Por su
muerte ha destruido la muerte, y por su resurrección a la
vida, ha conquistado para nosotros la vida eterna.
Por tanto te alabamos, uniendo nuestras voces con los
Ángeles y Arcángeles, y con todos los coros celestiales que,
proclamando la gloria de tu Nombre, por siempre cantan
este himno:

Santo
The people kneel or stand.
The Celebrant continues
We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love
which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling
of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through
the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus,
your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate
from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the
world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made
us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us
out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of
death into life.
On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ
took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke
it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is
my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the
remembrance of me.”
After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had
given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this, all of
you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed
for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever
you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”
Therefore, according to his command, O Father,
El Celebrante continua
Te damos gracias, o Dios, por la bondad y el amor que tú
nos has manifestado en la creación; en el llamado a Israel
para ser tu pueblo; en tu Verbo revelado a través de los
profetas; y, sobre todo, en el Verbo hecho carne, Jesús, tu
Hijo. Pues en la plenitud de los tiempos le has enviado para
que se encarnara de María la Virgen a fin de ser el Salvador
y Redentor del mundo. En él, nos has librado del mal, y nos
has hecho dignos de estar en tu presencia. En él, nos has
sacado del error a la verdad, del pecado a la rectitud, y de la
muerte a la vida.
En la víspera de su muerte por nosotros, nuestro Señor
Jesucristo tomó pan; y dándote gracias, lo partió y lo dio a
sus discípulos, y dijo: “Tomen y coman. Este es mi Cuerpo,
entregado por ustedes. Hagan esto como memorial mío.”
Después de la cena tomó el cáliz; y dándote gracias, se lo
entregó, y dijo: “Beban todos de él. Esta es mi Sangre del
nuevo Pacto, sangre derramada por ustedes y por muchos
para el perdón de los pecados. Siempre que lo beban,
háganlo como memorial mío.”
Por tanto, oh Padre, según su mandato,
13
Celebrant and People
We remember his death,
We proclaim his resurrection,
We await his coming in glory;
The Celebrant continues
And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you,
O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this
bread and this wine.
We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon
these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of
Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your
Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him,
being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time,
put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us
to that heavenly country where, with all your saints, we may
enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation,
the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation.
By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy
Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and
for ever. AMEN.
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to
say,
Celebrant and People
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

The people sit. Administration of the Sacrament: All are welcome to the Lord’s Table at Ascension. To receive communion, come to the
communion station at the direction of the Welcome Team. Receive the bread in the palm of your hand. Eat the bread and then drink from the cup when it is offered to you, or you may hold the bread and dip it into the wine when the cup is offered to you. Gluten-free wafers are also available. Make your need known to the Clergy by holding up three fingers. If you wish to receive a blessing rather than receive communion, please join in the movement to the communion station and cross your arms over the front of your chest – this will alert the Clergy of your desire to be blessed.
If you need communion brought to you please let a member of the Welcome Team know. Healing Prayers: If you would like to receive the laying on of hands for healing for yourself or another, go to the prayer annex beside the pulpit after receiving communion. A healing minister will be there to pray with you.

resucitada; Nosotros que bebemos su copa traemos vida a
otros; Nosotros a quienes las luces del Espíritu dan luz al
mundo. Amén.

The Blessing
Life is short, and we do not have too much time to
gladden the hearts of those who travel the way with us.
So be swift to love, and make haste to be kind. And may
the blessing of the one who made us, who journeys with
us, who breathes us into life moment by moment,
Creator, Christ, and Holy Spirit, be upon you this day
and always. Amen.
La vida es corta y no tenemos demasiado tiempo para
alegrar los corazones de aquellos que están viajando por el
oscuro camino con nosotros. Debemos ser rápido para
amar y darnos prisa para ser amable. Y que la bendición de
aquel que nos hizo, que viaja con nosotros, que nos es el
aliento de vida momento a momento. Creador, Cristo y
el Espíritu Santo, sea con ustedes, este día y siempre. Amén.
