LECTIO 1
Wednesday, March 1 : Book of Jonah 3,1-10.
The word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time: “Set out for the great city of Nineveh, and announce to it the message that I will tell you.”
So Jonah made ready and went to Nineveh, according to the LORD’S bidding. Now Nineveh was an enormously large city; it took three days to go through it.
Jonah began his journey through the city, and had gone but a single day’s walk announcing, “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed,”
when the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth.
When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in the ashes.
Then he had this proclaimed throughout Nineveh, by decree of the king and his nobles: “Neither man nor beast, neither cattle nor sheep, shall taste anything; they shall not eat, nor shall they drink water.
Man and beast shall be covered with sackcloth and call loudly to God; every man shall turn from his evil way and from the violence he has in hand.
Who knows, God may relent and forgive, and withhold his blazing wrath, so that we shall not perish.”
When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way, he repented of the evil that he had threatened to do to them; he did not carry it out.

Martes, 28 De Febrero : Libro de Isaías 55,10-11.
Así habla el Señor: Así como la lluvia y la nieve descienden del cielo y no vuelven a él sin haber empapado la tierra, sin haberla fecundado y hecho germinar, para que dé la semilla al sembrador y el pan al que come,
así sucede con la palabra que sale de mi boca: ella no vuelve a mí estéril, sino que realiza todo lo que yo quiero y cumple la misión que yo le encomendé.

Tuesday, February 28 : Book of Isaiah 55,10-11.
Thus says the LORD: Just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down and do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats,
So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; It shall not return to me void, but shall do my will, achieving the end for which I sent it.

Lunes, 27 De Febrero : Libro del Levítico 19,1-2.11-18.
El Señor dijo a Moisés:
Habla en estos términos a toda la comunidad de Israel: Ustedes serán santos, porque yo, el Señor su Dios, soy santo.
Ustedes no robarán, no mentirán ni se engañarán unos a otros.
No jurarán en falso por mi Nombre, porque profanarían el nombre de su Dios. Yo soy el Señor.
No oprimirás a tu prójimo ni lo despojarás; y no retendrás hasta la mañana siguiente el salario del jornalero.
No insultarás a un ciego, sino que temerás a tu Dios. Yo soy el Señor.
No cometerás ninguna injusticia en los juicios. No favorecerás arbitrariamente al pobre ni te mostrarás complaciente con el rico: juzgarás a tu prójimo con justicia.
No difamarás a tus compatriotas, ni pondrás en peligro la vida de tu prójimo. Yo soy el señor.
No odiarás a tu hermano en tu corazón: deberás reprenderlo convenientemente, para no cargar con un pecado a causa de él.
No serás vengativo con tus compatriotas ni les guardarás rencor. Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo. Yo soy el Señor.

Monday, February 27 : Book of Leviticus 19,1-2.11-18.
The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them: Be holy, for I, the LORD your God, am holy. “You shall not steal. You shall not lie or speak falsely to one another.
You shall not swear falsely by my name, thus profaning the name of your God. I am the LORD. “You shall not defraud or rob your neighbor. You shall not withhold overnight the wages of your day laborer.
You shall not curse the deaf, or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but you shall fear your God. I am the LORD. “You shall not act dishonestly in rendering judgment. Show neither partiality to the weak nor deference to the mighty, but judge your fellow men justly.
You shall not go about spreading slander among your kinsmen; nor shall you stand by idly when your neighbor’s life is at stake. I am the LORD. “You shall not bear hatred for your brother in your heart. Though you may have to reprove your fellow man, do not incur sin because of him.
Take no revenge and cherish no grudge against your fellow countrymen. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.”

Domingo, 26 De Febrero : Libro de Génesis 2,7-9.3,1-7.
El Señor Dios modeló al hombre con arcilla del suelo y sopló en su nariz un aliento de vida. Así el hombre se convirtió en un ser viviente.
El Señor Dios plantó un jardín en Edén, al oriente, y puso allí al hombre que había formado.
Y el Señor Dios hizo brotar del suelo toda clase de árboles, que eran atrayentes para la vista y apetitosos para comer; hizo brotar el árbol del conocimiento del bien y del mal.
La serpiente era el más astuto de todos los animales del campo que el Señor Dios había hecho, y dijo a la mujer: “¿Así que Dios les ordenó que no comieran de ningún árbol del jardín?”.
La mujer le respondió: “Podemos comer los frutos de todos los árboles del jardín.
Pero respecto del árbol que está en medio del jardín, Dios nos ha dicho: “No coman de él ni lo toquen, porque de lo contrario quedarán sujetos a la muerte”».
La serpiente dijo a la mujer: “No, no morirán.
Dios sabe muy bien que cuando ustedes coman de ese árbol, se les abrirán los ojos y serán como dioses, conocedores del bien y del mal”.
Cuando la mujer vio que el árbol era apetitoso para comer, agradable a la vista y deseable para adquirir discernimiento, tomó de su fruto y comió; luego se lo dio a su marido, que estaba con ella, y él también comió.
Entonces se abrieron los ojos de los dos y descubrieron que estaban desnudos. Por eso se hicieron unos taparrabos, entretejiendo hojas de higuera.

Sunday, February 26 : Book of Genesis 2,7-9.3,1-7.
The LORD God formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and so man became a living being.
Then the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and he placed there the man whom he had formed.
Out of the ground the LORD God made various trees grow that were delightful to look at and good for food, with the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.
Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the animals that the LORD God had made. The serpent asked the woman, “Did God really tell you not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?”
The woman answered the serpent: “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden;
it is only about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden that God said, ‘You shall not eat it or even touch it, lest you die.'”
But the serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die!
No, God knows well that the moment you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods who know what is good and what is bad.”
The woman saw that the tree was good for food, pleasing to the eyes, and desirable for gaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized that they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.

Sábado, 25 De Febrero : Libro de Isaías 58,9b-14.
Así habla el Señor: Si eliminas de ti todos los yugos, el gesto amenazador y la palabra maligna;
si ofreces tu pan al hambriento y sacias al que vive en la penuria, tu luz se alzará en las tinieblas y tu oscuridad será como el mediodía.
El Señor te guiará incesantemente, te saciará en los ardores del desierto y llenará tus huesos de vigor; tú serás como un jardín bien regado, como una vertiente de agua, cuyas aguas nunca se agotan.
Reconstruirás las ruinas antiguas, restaurarás los cimientos seculares, y te llamarán “Reparador de brechas”, “Restaurador de moradas en ruinas”.
Si dejas de pisotear el sábado, de hacer tus negocios en mi día santo; si llamas al sábado “Delicioso” y al día santo del Señor “Honorable”; si lo honras absteniéndote de traficar, de entregarte a tus negocios y de hablar ociosamente,
entonces te deleitarás en el Señor; yo te haré cabalgar sobre las alturas del país y te alimentaré con la herencia de tu padre Jacob, porque ha hablado la boca del Señor.

Saturday, February 25 : Book of Isaiah 58,9b-14.
Thus says the LORD: If you remove from your midst oppression, false accusation and malicious speech;
If you bestow your bread on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted; Then light shall rise for you in the darkness, and the gloom shall become for you like midday.
Then the LORD will guide you always and give you plenty even on the parched land. He will renew your strength, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails.
The ancient ruins shall be rebuilt for your sake, and the foundations from ages past you shall raise up; “Repairer of the breach,” they shall call you, “Restorer of ruined homesteads.”
If you hold back your foot on the sabbath from following your own pursuits on my holy day; If you call the sabbath a delight, and the LORD’S holy day honorable; If you honor it by not following your ways, seeking your own interests, or speaking with malice–
Then you shall delight in the LORD, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; I will nourish you with the heritage of Jacob, your father, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
