Baruch 5:1-9 In the previous chapter of Baruch, the city of Jerusalem speaks as a mourning mother to her children who are in exile, encouraging them: “Go, my children, go; for I have been left desolate. I have taken off the robe of peace and put on sackcloth for my supplication… Take courage, my children,…
Jeremías 33: 14-16 “Miren que llegan días –oráculo del Señor- en que cumpliré la promesa que hice a la casa de Israel y a la casa de Judá”.En esta frase hay dos cosas que me llaman la atención. Estoy segura de que Dios es bueno, y de que cumplirá las promesas hechas. Al mismo tiempo,…
Jeremiah 33:14-16 “The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah.” Two things strike me about this sentence. I am assured that God is good, and will fulfill the promises made. Simultaneously, I am struck by the frustration…
Isaiah 62:6-12 Like the lighting of the pascal flame at the great Easter Vigil, this reading serves as a transition out of the atmosphere of longing expectation that we have journeyed through over the past few weeks. As Jerusalem’s faithful continually remind God of God’s promise of redemption, they are given a foretaste of the…
Jeremiah 31:7-14 In Jeremiah we hear of Israel’s people crying out to the Lord for help. God hears them and they are gathered up and returned from exile. How the people praise the Lord! Israel embarks on a journey out of captivity. Although the way is long, it is level and along streams. There are…
Jeremiah 31:7-14 Sometimes it is easy to lose sight of what is really important in life. The people of God have struggled to keep their end of the covenant with God, and every time they stray, disaster befalls them. In the Deuteronomic Code, they have been given numerous and detailed examples for how to love…
Jeremiah 31:7-14 The Old Testament reading for today is another in a series of promises that God delivers through his prophet, to the scattered people of Israel. Jeremiah has to be pleased with today’s selected reading. After all, he finally gets to relent from lamenting. Jeremiah’s prophecy of hope for Israel stands in stark contrast…
Samuel 23:1-7 King David—perhaps the greatest King of Israel—in his final words, did not take credit for himself, but instead declared that it was God who had anointed and exalted him to his place of leadership. David credited God not only for his rise to power, but also for his ability to rule the people…
2 Samuel 23:1-7 El rey David, tal vez el más grandioso rey de Israel, en sus últimas palabras no se atribuyó el mérito propio, sino que declaró que era Dios quien lo había ungido y elevado al puesto de liderazgo. David le reconoce a Dios el mérito no solo de su ascenso al poder sino…
1 Samuel 1:4-20 The books of Samuel deal with the period that marked the emergence of prophecy and monarchy in ancient Israel. The First Book of Samuel opens with a recurring theme in Israel’s history – God hears the cry of the marginalized and oppressed. In this case it is Hannah, the beloved wife of…
