Friday of the Second Week of Lent

Reading 1 Genesis 37:3-4, 12-13a, 17b-28a Israel loved Joseph best of all his sons,for he was the child of his old age;and he had made him a long tunic.When his brothers saw that their father loved him best of all his sons,they hated him so much that they would not even greet him.One day, when his brothers had goneto pasture their father's flocks at Shechem,Israel said to Joseph, "Your brothers, you know, are tending our flocks at Shechem.Get ready; I will send you to them."So Joseph went after his brothers and caught up with them in Dothan.They noticed him from a distance,and before he came up to them, they plotted to kill him.They said to one another: "Here comes that master dreamer!Come on, let us kill him and throw him into one of the cisterns here;we could say that a wild beast devoured him.We shall then see what comes of his dreams."When Reuben heard this,he tried to save him from their hands, saying,"We must not take his life.Instead of shedding blood," he continued,"just throw him into that cistern there in the desert;but do not kill him outright."His purpose was to rescue him from their handsand return him to his father. So when Joseph came up to them,they stripped him of the long tunic he had on;then they took him and threw him into the cistern,which was empty and dry.They then sat down to their meal.Looking up, they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead,their camels laden with gum, balm and resinto be taken down to Egypt.Judah said to his brothers:"What is to be gained by killing our brother and concealing his blood? Rather, let us sell him to these Ishmaelites,instead of doing away with him ourselves.After all, he is our brother, our own flesh."His brothers agreed.They sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. Responsorial Psalm Psalm 105:16-17, 18-19, 20-21 R. (5a) Remember the marvels the Lord has done.When the LORD called down a famine on the landand ruined the crop that sustained them,He sent a man before them,Joseph, sold as a slave.R. Remember the marvels the Lord has done.They [read more]

Primera lectura Génesis 37, 3-4. 12-13. 17-28 Jacob amaba a José más que a todos sus demás hijos, porque lo había engendrado en la ancianidad. A él le había hecho una túnica de amplias mangas. Sus hermanos, viendo que lo amaba más que a todos ellos, llegaron a odiarlo, al grado de negarle la palabra.Un día en que los hermanos de José llevaron a Siquem los rebaños de su padre, Jacob le dijo a José: "Tus hermanos apacientan mis rebaños en Siquem. Te voy a enviar allá". José fue entonces en busca de sus hermanos y los encontró en Dotán. Ellos lo vieron de lejos, y antes de que se les acercara, conspiraron contra él para matarlo y se decían unos a otros: "Ahí viene ese soñador. Démosle muerte; lo arrojaremos en un pozo y diremos que una fiera lo devoró. Vamos a ver de qué le sirven sus sueños".Rubén oyó esto y trató de liberarlo de manos de sus hermanos, diciendo: "No le quiten la vida, ni derramen su sangre. Mejor arrójenlo en ese pozo que está en el desierto y no se manchen las manos". Eso lo decía para salvar a José y devolverlo a su padre.Cuando llegó José a donde estaban sus hermanos, éstos lo despojaron de su túnica y lo arrojaron a un pozo sin agua. Luego se sentaron a comer, y levantando los ojos, vieron a lo lejos una caravana de ismaelitas, que venían de Galaad, con los camellos cargados de especias, resinas, bálsamo y láudano, y se dirigían a Egipto. Judá dijo entonces a sus hermanos: "¿Qué ganamos con matar a nuestro hermano y ocultar su muerte? Vendámoslo a los ismaelitas y no mancharemos nuestras manos. Después de todo, es nuestro hermano y de nuestra misma sangre". Y sus hermanos le hicieron caso. Sacaron a José del pozo y se lo vendieron a los mercaderes por veinticinco monedas de plata. Los mercaderes se llevaron a José a Egipto. Salmo Responsorial Salmo 104, 16-17. 18-19. 20-21 R. (5a) Recordemos las maravillas que hizo el Señor.Cuando el Señor mandó el hambre sobre el paísy acabó con todas las cosechas, ya había enviado por delante a un hombre:a José, vendido como esclavo. R. Recordemos las maravillas que hizo el Señor.Le trabaron los pies con grilletesy rodearon su cuerpo con [leer mas]
