The Ministry of the Word
First Lesson
Numbers 11:16-17, 24-29
So the Lord said to Moses, ‘Gather for me seventy of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders
of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tent of meeting, and have them take their place
there with you. I will come down and talk with you there; and I will take some of the spirit that is on you
and put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people along with you so that you will not bear
it all by yourself. So Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord; and he gathered seventy
elders of the people, and placed them all around the tent. Then the Lord came down in the cloud and
spoke to him, and took some of the spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders; and when
the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. But they did not do so again. Two men remained in the
camp, one named Eldad, and the other named Medad, and the spirit rested on them; they were among
those registered, but they had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp. And a young
man ran and told Moses, ‘Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.’ And Joshua son of Nun, the
assistant of Moses, one of his chosen men, said, ‘My lord Moses, stop them!’ But Moses said to him, ‘Are
you jealous for my sake? Would that all the Lord’s people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his
spirit on them!’
The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.

Primera Lectura Números 11:16-17, 24-29
El Señor le respondió a Moisés: Tráeme a setenta *ancianos de Israel, y asegúrate de que sean ancianos y
gobernantes del pueblo. Llévalos a la *Tienda de reunión, y haz que esperen allí contigo. Yo descenderé
para hablar contigo, y compartiré con ellos el Espíritu que está sobre ti, para que te ayuden a llevar la
carga que te significa este pueblo. Así no tendrás que llevarla tú solo. Moisés fue y le comunicó al pueblo
lo que el Señor le había dicho. Después juntó a setenta *ancianos del pueblo, y se quedó esperando con
ellos alrededor de la *Tienda de reunión. El Señor descendió en la nube y habló con Moisés, y compartió
con los setenta ancianos el Espíritu que estaba sobre él. Cuando el Espíritu descansó sobre ellos, se pusieron a profetizar. Pero esto no volvió a repetirse. Dos de los ancianos se habían quedado en el campamento. Uno se llamaba Eldad y el otro Medad. Aunque habían sido elegidos, no acudieron a la Tienda
de reunión. Sin embargo, el Espíritu descansó sobre ellos y se pusieron a profetizar dentro del campamento. Entonces un muchacho corrió a contárselo a Moisés: —¡Eldad y Medad están profetizando dentro del
campamento! Josué hijo de Nun, uno de los siervos escogidos de Moisés, exclamó: —¡Moisés, señor mío,
deténlos! Pero Moisés le respondió: —¿Estás celoso por mí? ¡Cómo quisiera que todo el pueblo del Señor
profetizara, y que el Señor pusiera su Espíritu en todos ellos!

The Second Lesson Corinthians 3:5-11
What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord assigned
to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither the one who plants nor the one
who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. The one who plants and the one who waters
have a common purpose, and each will receive wages according to the labour of each. For we are God’s
servants, working together; you are God’s field, God’s building. According to the grace of God given
to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building on it. Each builder
must choose with care how to build on it. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has
been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ.

Gospel
John 4:31-38
Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, ‘Rabbi, eat something.’ But he said to them, ‘I have food to
eat that you do not know about.’ So the disciples said to one another, ‘Surely no one has brought him
something to eat?’ Jesus said to them, ‘My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his
work. Do you not say, “Four months more, then comes the harvest”? But I tell you, look around you, and
see how the fields are ripe for harvesting. The reaper is already receiving wages and is gathering fruit for
eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. For here the saying holds true, “One sows and
another reaps.” I sent you to reap that for which you did not labour. Others have laboured, and you have
entered into their labour.’
After the Gospel, the Reader says
The Gospel of the Lord.
People Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Reaffirmation of Ordination Vows
The Bishop stands before the altar and addresses those who are to renew their vows.
Dear friends, the ministry we share is none other than the sacrificial ministry of Christ, who gave himself
up to death on the cross for the salvation of the world. By his glorious resurrection he has opened for us
the way of everlasting life. By the gift of the Holy Spirit he shares with us the riches of his grace.
We are called to proclaim his death and resurrection, to administer the Sacra- ments of the New
Covenant which he sealed with his blood on the cross, and to care for his people in the power of the

Segunda Lectura 1 Corintios 3:5-11
Después de todo, ¿qué es Apolos? ¿Y qué es Pablo? Nada más que servidores por medio de los cuales
ustedes llegaron a creer, según lo que el Señor le asignó a cada uno. Yo sembré, Apolos regó, pero Dios
ha dado el crecimiento. Así que no cuenta ni el que siembra ni el que riega, sino sólo Dios, quien es el
que hace crecer. El que siembra y el que riega están al mismo nivel, aunque cada uno será recompensado
según su propio trabajo. En efecto, nosotros somos colaboradores al servicio de Dios; y ustedes son el
campo de cultivo de Dios, son el edificio de Dios. Según la gracia que Dios me ha dado, yo, como maestro constructor, eché los cimientos, y otro construye sobre ellos. Pero cada uno tenga cuidado de cómo
construye, porque nadie puede poner un fundamento diferente del que ya está puesto, que es Jesucristo.

Todos de pie, un Diácono o un Presbítero lee el Evangelio, diciendo primero
Santo Evangelio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, según San Juan.
Pueblo ¡Gloria a ti, Cristo Señor!
Evangelio Juan 4:31-38
Mientras tanto, sus discípulos le insistían: —Rabí, come algo. —Yo tengo un alimento que ustedes no conocen —replicó él. «¿Le habrán traído algo de comer?», comentaban entre sí los discípulos. —Mi alimento
es hacer la voluntad del que me envió y terminar su obra —les dijo Jesús—. ¿No dicen ustedes: “Todavía
faltan cuatro meses para la cosecha”? Yo les digo: ¡Abran los ojos y miren los campos sembrados! Ya la
cosecha está madura; ya el segador recibe su salario y recoge el fruto para vida eterna. Ahora tanto el
sembrador como el segador se alegran juntos. Porque como dice el refrán: “Uno es el que siembra y otro
el que cosecha.” Yo los he enviado a ustedes a cosechar lo que no les costó ningún trabajo. Otros se han
fatigado trabajando, y ustedes han cosechado el fruto de ese trabajo.
Después del Evangelio el Lector dice

Sermón
Reafirmación de votos de ordenación
El obispo se para delante del altar y se dirige a los que van a renovar sus votos.
Amados hermanos, el ministerio que compartimos no es otro que el ministerio sacrificial de Cristo, quien
se dio a sí mismo a la muerte en la cruz para salvación del mundo. Por medio de su gloriosa resurrección
nos ha abierto las puertas del camino de la vida eterna. Por medio del don del Espíritu Santo, comparte
con nosotros las riquezas de su gracia.

The Bishop then makes this affirmation
And now, as your bishop, I, too, before God and you, rededicate myself and reaffirm the promises that I
made when I was ordained. I ask your prayers.
Bishop and Clergy
May the Lord who has given us the will to do these things, give us also the grace and power to perform

Nuevo Pacto que él selló con su sangre en la cruz, y para cui- dar a su pueblo en el poder del Espíritu.

people; and so fill them with the truth of your doctrine and clothe them with holiness of life, that they
may faithfully serve before you, to the glory of your great Name and for the benefit of your holy Church;

l pueblo permanece de pie o se arrodilla. El Obispo continúa
in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the
Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin
Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us
worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.
On the night before he died for us, 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.” 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.”
Therefore, according to his command, O Father,
Bishop and People
We remember his death,
We proclaim his resurrection,
We await his coming in glory;
The Bishop continues
And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your
creation, this bread and this wine.
We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of
the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may
be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in
subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with all your saints, we may
enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of
all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation.
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. Amen.
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
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,

Te damos gracias, oh Dios, por la bondad y el amor que tú nos has manifestado en la creación; en el llamado
a Israel para ser tu pueblo; en tu Verbo revelado a través de los profetas; y, sobre todo, en el Verbo hecho
carne, Jesús, tu Hijo. Pues en la plenitud de los tiempos le has enviado para que se encarnara de María la
Virgen a fin de ser el Salvador y Redentor del mundo. En él, nos has librado del mal, y nos has hecho dignos
de estar en tu presencia. En él, nos has sacado del error a la verdad, del pecado a la rectitud, y de la muerte a
la vida.
En la víspera de su muerte por nosotros, 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”. 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, há- ganlo como memorial mío”.
Por tanto, oh Padre, según su mandato,
Obispo y Pueblo
Recordamos su muerte,
Proclamamos su resurrección,
Esperamos su venida en gloria;
El Obispo continúa
Y te ofrecemos nuestro sacrificio de alabanza y acción de gracias, Señor de todos; ofreciéndote, de tu
creación, este pan y este vino.
Te suplicamos, Dios bondadoso, que envíes tu Espíritu Santo sobre estos dones, para que sean el
Sacramento del Cuerpo de Cristo y su Sangre del nuevo Pacto. Únenos a tu Hijo en su sacrificio, a fin de
que, por medio de él, seamos aceptables, siendo santificados por el Espíritu Santo. En la plenitud de los
tiempos, sujeta todas las cosas a tu Cristo y llévanos a la patria celestial donde, con todos tus santos, entremos en la herencia eterna de tus hijos; por Je- sucristo nuestro Señor, el primogénito de toda la creación, la
cabe- za de la Iglesia, y el autor de nuestra salvación.
Por él, y con él y en él, en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, tuyos son el honor y la gloria, Padre omnipotente,

Padre nuestro que estás en el cielo,
santificado sea tu Nombre, venga tu reino,
hágase tu voluntad,
