Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Lectionary: 156
Reading 1 2 MC 7:1-2, 9-14
It happened that seven brothers with their mother were arrested
and tortured with whips and scourges by the king,
to force them to eat pork in violation of God’s law.
One of the brothers, speaking for the others, said:
“What do you expect to achieve by questioning us?
We are ready to die rather than transgress the laws of our ancestors.”
At the point of death he said:
“You accursed fiend, you are depriving us of this present life,
but the King of the world will raise us up to live again forever.
It is for his laws that we are dying.”
After him the third suffered their cruel sport.
He put out his tongue at once when told to do so,
and bravely held out his hands, as he spoke these noble words:
“It was from Heaven that I received these;
for the sake of his laws I disdain them;
from him I hope to receive them again.”
Even the king and his attendants marveled at the young man’s courage,
because he regarded his sufferings as nothing.
After he had died,
they tortured and maltreated the fourth brother in the same way.
When he was near death, he said,
“It is my choice to die at the hands of men
with the hope God gives of being raised up by him;
but for you, there will be no resurrection to life.”
Responsorial Psalm PS 17:1, 5-6, 8, 15
R. (15b) Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.
Hear, O LORD, a just suit;
attend to my outcry;
hearken to my prayer from lips without deceit.
R. Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.
My steps have been steadfast in your paths,
my feet have not faltered.
I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;
incline your ear to me; hear my word.
R. Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.
Keep me as the apple of your eye,
hide me in the shadow of your wings.
But I in justice shall behold your face;
on waking I shall be content in your presence.
R. Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.
Reading 2 2 THES 2:16-3:5
Brothers and sisters:
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father,
who has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement
and good hope through his grace,
encourage your hearts and strengthen them in every good deed
and word.
Finally, brothers and sisters, pray for us,
so that the word of the Lord may speed forward and be glorified,
as it did among you,
and that we may be delivered from perverse and wicked people,
for not all have faith.
But the Lord is faithful;
he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
We are confident of you in the Lord that what we instruct you,
you are doing and will continue to do.
May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God
and to the endurance of Christ.
Alleluia REV 1:5A, 6B
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Jesus Christ is the firstborn of the dead;
to him be glory and power, forever and ever.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel LK 20:27-38
Some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection,
came forward and put this question to Jesus, saying,
“Teacher, Moses wrote for us,
If someone’s brother dies leaving a wife but no child,
his brother must take the wife
and raise up descendants for his brother.
Now there were seven brothers;
the first married a woman but died childless.
Then the second and the third married her,
and likewise all the seven died childless.
Finally the woman also died.
Now at the resurrection whose wife will that woman be?
For all seven had been married to her.”
Jesus said to them,
“The children of this age marry and remarry;
but those who are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age
and to the resurrection of the dead
neither marry nor are given in marriage.
They can no longer die,
for they are like angels;
and they are the children of God
because they are the ones who will rise.
That the dead will rise
even Moses made known in the passage about the bush,
when he called out ‘Lord,’
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
and he is not God of the dead, but of the living,
for to him all are alive.”
JUMAPILI YA 32 YA MWAKA-C
Somo I: 2 Mak 7:1-2, 9-14
Ikatokea ya kuwa ndugu saba, pamoja na mama yao, walikamatwa kwa amri ya mfalme na kuteswa sana kwa mijeledi na mapigo ili kuwashurutisha kuonja nyama ya nguruwe. Mmoja akajitanya mnenaji wao, akasema, “Wataka kuuliza nini na kujua nini juu yetu? Sisi tu tayari kufa kuliko kuzivunja amri za wazee wetu.” Naye alipokuwa kufani alisema, “Wewe, mdhalimu, unatufarikisha na maisha ya sasa, lakini Mungu wa ulimwengu atatufufua sisi tuliokufa kwa ajili ya amri zake, hata tupate uzima wa milele.”
Na baada yake alidhihakiwa Yule wa tatu. Naye, mara alipoagizwa, alitoa ulime wake, akanyosha mikono yake bila hofu, akasema kwa ushujaa, “Kutoka mbinguni nalipewa hivi, na kwa ajili ya amri za Mungu navihesabu kuwa si kitu, na kwake natumaini kuvipokea tena.” Hata mfalme na watu wake walishangazwa kwa roho ya kijana huyu, kwa jinsi alivyodharau maumivu yake. Naye alipokaribia kufa alisema hivi, “Ni vema kufa kwa mikono ya wanadamu na kuzitazamia ahadi zitokazo kwa Mungu, kuwa tutafufuliwa naye. Lakini kwako wewe hakuna ufufuo.”
Zab/Kit: 17:1, 5-6, 8b, 15
- Ee Bwana, usikie haki, ukisikilize kilio changu, Utege sikio lako kwa maombi yangu, Yasiyotoka katika midomo ya hila.
(K) Ee, Bwana niamkapo nitashibishwa kwa sura yako
-
Nyayo zangu zimeshikamana na njia zako, Hatua zangu hazikuondoshwa. Ee Mungu, nimekuita kwa maana utaitika, Utege sikio lako ulisikie neno langu. (K)
-
Unifiche chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako; Bali mimi nikutazame uso wako katika haki, Niamkapo nishibishwe kwa sura yako. (K)
Somo II: 2The 2:16-3:5
Na Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo mwenyewe, na Mungu Baba yetu, aliyetupenda akatupa faraja ya milele na tumaini jema, katika neema, awafariji mioyo yenu, na kuwafanya imara katika kila neno na tendo jema.
Hatimaye, ndugu, tuombeeni, neno la Bwana liendelee, na kutukuzwa vile vile kama ilivyo kwenu; tukaokolewe na watu wasio haki, wabaya; maana si wote walio na imani. Lakini Bwana ni mwaminifu, atakayewafanya imara na kuwalinda na yule mwovu. Nasi tumemtumaini Bwana kwa mambo yenu, kwamba mnayafanya tulivyowaagiza, tena kwamba mtayafanya. Bwana awaongoze mioyo yenu mkapate pendo la Mungu, na saburi ya Kristo.
Injili: Lk 20:27-38
Kisha baadhi ya Masadukayo wakamwendea, wale wasemao ya kwamba hakuna ufufuo, wakamwuliza, wakisema, Mwalimu, Musa alituandikia ya kuwa, mtu akifiwa na ndugu yake mwenye mke, lakini hana mtoto na amtwae huyu mke, ampatie ndugu yake mzao. Basi, kulikuwa na ndugu saba. Wa kwanza alioa mke, akafa hana mtoto; na wa pili [akamtwaa yule mke, akafa hana mtoto;] hata wa tatu akamwoa, na kadhalika wote saba, wakafa, wasiache watoto. Mwisho akafa yule mke naye. Basi, katika ufufuo atakuwa mke wa yupi? Maana aliolewa na wote saba. Yesu akawaambia, Wana wa ulimwengu huu huoa na kuolewa; lakini, wale wahesabiwao kuwa wamestahili kuupata ulimwengu ule, na kule kufufuka katika wafu, hawaoi wala hawaolewi; wala hawawezi kufa tena; kwa sababu huwa sawasawa na malaika, nao ni wana wa Mungu, kwa vile walivyo wana wa ufufuo. Lakini, ya kuwa wafu hufufuliwa, hata na Musa alionyesha katika sura ya Kijiti, hapo alipomtaja Bwana kuwa ni Mungu wa Ibrahimu, na Mungu wa Isaka, na Mungu wa Yakobo. Naye si Mungu wa wafu, bali wa walio hai; kwa kuwa wote huishi kwake.
Tumsifu Yesu Kristo!
“Ni vema kufa kwa mikono ya wanadamu na kuzitazamia ahadi zitokazo kwa Mungu, kuwa tutafufuliwa naye. Lakini kwako wewe hakuna ufufuo,” 2Mak 7:14
