First Reading/ Primera Lectura

Genesis 9:8-15

Génesis 9,8-15 God said to Noah and to his sons

with him:

“See, I am now establishing my

covenant with you

and your descendants after you

and with every living creature that

was with you:

all the birds, and the various tame

and wild animals

that were with you and came out of

the ark. I will establish my covenant

with you, that never again shall all

bodily creatures be destroyed

by the waters of a flood;

there shall not be another flood to

devastate the earth.”

God added:

“This is the sign that I am giving for

all ages to come,

of the covenant between me and you

and every living creature with you:

I set my bow in the clouds to serve as

signof the covenant between me and

the earth. When I bring clouds over

the earth, and the bow appears in the

clouds, I will recall the covenant I

have made

between me and you and all living

beings, so that the waters shall never

again become a flood

to destroy all mortal beings.”

The Word of the Lord

En aquellos días, dijo Dios a Noé y a

sus hijos: “Ahora establezco una

alianza con ustedes y con sus

descendientes, con todos los animales

que los acompañaron, aves, ganados y

fieras, con todos los que salieron del

arca, con todo ser viviente sobre la

tierra. Ésta es la alianza que establezco

con ustedes: No volveré a exterminar

la vida con el diluvio, ni habrá otro

diluvio que destruya la tierra”.

Y añadió: “Ésta es la señal de la

alianza perpetua que yo establezco con

ustedes y con todo ser viviente que

esté con ustedes. Pondré mi arco iris

en el cielo como señal de mi alianza

con la tierra, y cuando yo cubra de

nubes la tierra, aparecerá el arco iris y

me acordaré de mi alianza con ustedes

y con todo ser viviente. No volverán

las aguas del diluvio a destruir la

vida”.

Palabra de Dios

Salmo 24, 4bc-5ab. 6-7bc. 8-9

R. (cf. 10) Your ways, O Lord,

Guide me in your truth and teach

me,

for you are God my savior.

LORD.

R. Your ways, O Lord, are love

and truth to those who keep your

tu amor y tu ternura.

Según ese amor y esa ternura,

acuérdate de nosotros.

bondadoso,

indica a los pecadores el sendero,

guía por la senda recta a los

humildes

y descubre a los pobres sus

caminos.

R. Descúbrenos, Señor, tus

caminos.

Second Reading/ Segunda Lectura 1 Peter 3:18-22

1 Peter 3, 18-22

Beloved:

Christ suffered for sins once,

the righteous for the sake of the

unrighteous,

that he might lead you to God.

Put to death in the flesh,

he was brought to life in the Spirit.

In it he also went to preach to the

spirits in prison,

who had once been disobedient

while God patiently waited in the

days of Noah

during the building of the ark,

in which a few persons, eight in all,

were saved through water.

This prefigured baptism, which

saves you now.

It is not a removal of dirt from the

body

but an appeal to God for a clear

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

subject to him.

The Word of the Lord

Hermanos: Cristo murió, una sola

vez y para siempre, por los pecados

de los hombres; él, el justo, por

nosotros, los injustos, para llevarnos

a Dios; murió en su cuerpo y

resucitó glorificado. En esta ocasión,

fue a proclamar su mensaje a los

espíritus encarcelados, que habían

sido rebeldes en los tiempos de Noé,

cuando la paciencia de Dios

aguardaba, mientras se construía el

arca, en la que unos pocos, ocho

personas, se salvaron flotando sobre

el agua. Aquella agua era figura del

bautismo, que ahora los salva a

ustedes y que no consiste en quitar

la inmundicia corporal, sino en el

compromiso de vivir con una buena

conciencia ante Dios, por la

resurrección de Cristo Jesús, Señor

nuestro, que subió al cielo y está a la

derecha de Dios, a quien están

sometidos los ángeles, las potestades

y las virtudes.

Palabra de Dios

Gospel Acclamation/Aclamación antes del Evangelio

R. Praise to you, Lord Jesus

Christ, King of Endless glory!

One does not live on bread alone,

but on every word that comes forth

from the mouth of God.

R. Praise to you, Lord Jesus

Christ, King of Endless glory!

R. Honor y gloria a ti, Señor Jesús.

No sólo de pan vive el hombre,

sino también de toda palabra

que sale de la boca de Dios.

R. Honor y gloria a ti, Señor Jesús.

Gospel/Evangelio

Mark 1:12-15 Marcos 1, 12-15

. The Spirit drove Jesus out into the

desert,

and he remained in the desert for

forty days,

tempted by Satan.

He was among wild beasts,

and the angels ministered to him.

After John had been arrested,

Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming

the gospel of God:

“This is the time of fulfillment.

The kingdom of God is at hand.

Repent, and believe in the gospel.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

En aquel tiempo, el Espíritu

impulsó a Jesús a retirarse al

desierto, donde permaneció

cuarenta días y fue tentado por

Satanás. Vivió allí entre animales

salvajes, y los ángeles le servían.

Después de que arrestaron a Juan

el Bautista, Jesús se fue a Galilea

para predicar el Evangelio de Dios

y decía: “Se ha cumplido el

tiempo y el Reino de Dios ya está

cerca. Arrepiéntanse y crean en el

Evangelio”.

Palabra de Dios

Homily

Profession of Faith/Profesión de Fe I believe in one God,

the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made,

consubstantial with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,

and by the Holy Spirit

was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under

Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day

in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead

and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord,

the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son

is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and

apostolic Church.

I confess one baptism

for the forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection of

the dead and the life of the world to come.

Amen

Creo en un solo Dios,

Padre todopoderoso,

Creador del cielo y de la tierra,

de todo lo visible y lo invisible.

Creo en un solo Señor, Jesucristo,

Hijo único de Dios,

naido del Padre antes de todos los siglos:

Dios de Dios, Luz de Luz,

Dios verdadero de Dios verdadero,

engendrado, no creado,

de la misma naturaleza del Padre;

por quien todas las cosas fueron hechas;

que por nosotros los hombres,

y por nuestra salvación

descendió del cielo,

y por obra del Espíritu Santo

se encarnó en María La virgen,

y se hizo hombre;

y por nuestra causa fue crucificado

en tiempos de Poncio Pilato,

padeció y fue sepultado,

y resucitó al tercer día,

según las Escrituras,

y subió al cielo,

y está sentado a la derecha del Padre;

y de nuevo vendrá con gloria,

para juzgar a vivos y muertos,

y su reino no tendrá fin.

Creo en el Espíritu Santo,

Señor y dador de vida,

que procede del Padre y del Hijo

que con el Padre y el Hijo

recibe una misma adoración y gloria,

y que habló por los profetas.

Creo en la Iglesia que es Una, Santa,

Universal y Apostólica.

Reconozco que hay un solo bautismo para

el perdón de los pecados,

espero la resurrección de los muertos

y la vida del mundo futuro. Amén

The Light is On for You Confessions on all Wednesdays during Lent will be offered from 6:30-8:00p.m. Individual confessions will take place in the chapel. During this time of “The Light is On for You”, there will be an Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the main church. This gives parishioners the sacred space for prayer and adoration. Stations of the Cross on Fridays during Lent Saint Ann will have the Stations of the Cross on all Fridays during Lent at 7p.m. Due to the pandemic and in keeping with the safety protocols for celebrations while in church, parishioners participating in-person for the Stations of the Cross are asked to stay in their pews, instead of walking the stations. Only the minister, altar server who is carrying the cross and the prayer leader will move around in the Stations of the Cross.

Wearing masks and maintaining social distancing are to be observed during these Lenten spiritual exercises in the church.
