Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan: Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Omnipotente Dios, cuyo bendito Hijo fue llevado por el Espíritu para ser tentado por Satanás: Apresúrate a socorrer a los que somos atacados por múltiples tentaciones; y así como tú conoces las flaquezas de cada uno de nosotros, haz que cada uno te halle poderoso para salvar; por Jesucristo tu Hijo nuestro Señor, que vive y reina contigo y el Espíritu Santo, un solo Dios, ahora y por siempre. Amén.
THE WORD OF GOD / LA PALABRA DE DIOS First Reading: Genesis 9:8-17
Primera Lectura: Génesis 9:8–17
God said to Noah and to his sons with him, “As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic
Dios también les dijo a Noé y a sus hijos: Miren, yo voy a establecer mi alianza con ustedes y con sus descendientes, y con todos los animales que están con ustedes y que salieron de la 3
animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark. I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
barca: aves y animales domésticos y salvajes, y con todos los animales del mundo. Mi alianza con ustedes no cambiará: no volveré a destruir a los hombres y animales con un diluvio. Ya no volverá a haber otro diluvio que destruya la tierra. Ésta es la señal de la alianza que para siempre hago con ustedes y con todos los animales: he puesto mi arco iris en las nubes, y servirá como señal de la alianza que hago con la tierra. Cuando yo haga venir nubes sobre la tierra, mi arco iris aparecerá entre ellas. Entonces me acordaré de la alianza que he hecho con ustedes y con todos los animales, y ya no volverá a haber ningún diluvio que los destruya. Cuando el arco iris esté entre las nubes, yo lo veré y me acordaré de la alianza que he hecho para siempre con todo hombre y todo animal que hay en el mundo. Ésta es la señal de la alianza que yo he establecido con todo hombre y animal aquí en la tierra. Así habló Dios con Noé

Psalm 25 vv.1-9
1 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul; my God, I put my / trust in / you; * let me not be humiliated, nor let my enemies triumph / over / me. 2 Let none who look to you be / put to / shame; * let the treacherous be disappointed / in their / schemes. 3 Show me your / ways, O / Lord, * and teach / me your / paths. 4 Lead me in your / truth and / teach me, * for you are the God of my salvation; in you have I trusted / all the day / long. 5 Remember, O Lord, your / compassion and / love, * for they are from / ever-/lasting. 6 Remember not the sins of my / youth and my trans/gressions; * remember me according to your love and for the sake of your / goodness, O / Lord. 7 Gracious and / upright is the / Lord; * therefore he teaches / sinners in his / way. 8 He guides the humble in / doing / right * and teaches his / way to the / lowly. 9 All the paths of the Lord are / love and / faithfulness * to those who keep his covenant / and his / testimonies.
All children and youth are invited to go downstairs for Sunday school and youth group.

The Epistle: 1 Peter 3:18-22
La Epístola: 1 San Pedro 3:18–22
Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison, who in former times did not obey, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. And baptism, which this prefigured, now saves you-not as a removal of dirt from the body, but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers made subject to him.
Cristo mismo sufrió la muerte por nuestros pecados, una vez para siempre. Él era inocente, pero sufrió por los malos, para llevarlos a ustedes a Dios. En su fragilidad humana, murió; pero resucitó con una vida espiritual, y de esta manera fue a proclamar su victoria a los espíritus que estaban presos. Éstos habían sido desobedientes en tiempos antiguos, en los días de Noé, cuando Dios esperaba con paciencia mientras se construía la barca. Y aquella agua representaba el agua del bautismo, por medio del cual somos ahora salvados. El bautismo no consiste en limpiar el cuerpo, sino en pedirle a Dios una conciencia limpia; y nos salva por la resurrección de Jesucristo, que subió al cielo y está a la derecha de Dios, y al que han quedado sujetos los ángeles y demás seres espirituales que tienen autoridad y poder.
Reader: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
Gospel Sentence (sung by the choir): Jesus was in the wilderness, tempted by Satan: and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him. 7
THE GOSPEL Mark 1:9-15 Deacon: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus according to Mark. People:
EL EVANGELIO San Marcos 1:9-15 Diácono: El Evangelio Santo de nuestro Señor según San Marcos Pueblo:
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.” And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. He was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him. Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.”
Por aquellos días, Jesús salió de Nazaret, que está en la región de Galilea, y Juan lo bautizó en el Jordán. En el momento de salir del agua, Jesús vio que el cielo se abría y que el Espíritu bajaba sobre él como una paloma. Y se oyó una voz del cielo, que decía: Tú eres mi Hijo amado, a quien he elegido. Después de esto, el Espíritu llevó a Jesús al desierto. Allí estuvo cuarenta días, viviendo entre las fieras y siendo puesto a prueba por Satanás; y los ángeles le servían. Después que metieron a Juan en la cárcel, Jesús fue a Galilea a anunciar las buenas noticias de parte de Dios. Decía: «Ya se cumplió el plazo señalado, y el reino de Dios está cerca. Vuélvanse a Dios y acepten con fe sus buenas noticias.

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER A
Celebrante: El Señor sea con ustedes. Pueblo: Y con tu espíritu. Celebrante: Elevemos los corazones. Pueblo: Los elevamos al Señor. Celebrante: Demos gracias a Dios nuestro Señor. Pueblo: Es justo darle gracias y alabanza.
Celebrant: The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Celebrant: Lift up your hearts. People: We lift them to the Lord. Celebrant: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People: It is right to give God thanks and praise.
It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
En verdad es digno, justo y saludable, darte gracias, en todo tiempo y lugar, Padre omnipotente, Creador de cielo y tierra.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord; who was tempted in every way as we are, yet did not sin. By his grace we are able to triumph over every evil, and to live no longer for ourselves alone, but for him who died for us and rose again.
Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo; quien en todo fue tentado como nosotros, mas nunca cometió pecado. Por su gracia podemos triunfar sobre todo mal y no vivir ya más para nosotros, sino para él, que murió y resucitó por nosotros.
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:
Por tanto te alabamos, uniendo nuestras voces con los Angeles y Arcángeles, y con todos los coros celestiales que, proclamando la gloria de tu Nombre, por siempre cantan este himno:

SANCTUS & BENEDICTUS
“St. Anne's Mass”
James MacMillan
Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself, and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all.
Padre Santo y bondadoso: En tu amor infinito nos hiciste para ti, y cuando caímos en pecado y quedamos esclavos del mal y de la muerte, tú, en tu misericordia, enviaste a Jesucristo, tu Hijo único y eterno, para compartir nuestra naturaleza humana, para vivir y morir como uno de nosotros, y así reconciliarnos contigo, el Dios y Padre de todos.
He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.
Extendió sus brazos sobre la cruz y se ofreció en obediencia a tu voluntad, un sacrificio perfecto por todo el mundo.
21
On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, 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.”
En la noche en que fue entregado al sufrimento y a la muerte, 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".
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."
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".
Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:
Por tanto, proclamamos el misterio de fe:
Celebrant and People
Celebrante y Pueblo:
Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
Cristo ha muerto. Cristo ha resucitado. Cristo volverá.
The Celebrant continues:
El Celebrante continúa:
We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and Thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts.
Padre, en este sacrificio de alabanza y acción de gracias, celebramos el memorial de nuestra redención. Recordando su muerte, resurrección y ascensión, te ofrecemos estos dones.
16
Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom.
Santifícalos con tu Espíritu Santo, y así́ serán para tu pueblo el Cuerpo y Sangre de tu Hijo, la santa comida y la santa bebida de la vida nueva en él que no tiene fin. Santifícanos también, para que recibamos fielmente este Santo Sacramento y seamos perseverantes en tu servicio en paz y unidad. Y en el día postrero, llévanos con todos tus santos al gozo de tu reino eterno.
All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: 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.
Todo esto te pedimos por tu Hijo Jesucristo. Por él, y con él y en él, en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, tuyos son el honor y la gloria, Padre omnipotente, ahora y por siempre.
LORD’S PRAYER 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, the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
EL PADRENUESTRO Padre nuestro que estás en el cielo, santificado sea tu Nombre, venga tu reino, hágase tu voluntad, en la tierra como en el cielo. Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día. Perdona nuestras ofensas, Asi como nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden. No nos dejes caer en tentación y líbranos del mal. Porque tuyo es el reino, tuyo es el poder, y tuya es la gloria, ahora y por siempre. Amén 17
