PESCADOR DE HOMBRES COLLECT:
O God, who taught the ministers of your Church to desire not to be served but to serve their brothers and sisters, grant, we beg, to these servants of yours, whom you graciously choose today for the office of deacon, skill in their work, gentleness in their ministry, and constancy in their prayer. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. All: Amen
LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading (Read in Spanish)
A Reading from the Acts of the Apostles Acts 6: 1-7
As the number of disciples continued to grow, the Hellenists complained against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. So the Twelve called together the community of the disciples and said, “It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table. Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men, filled with the Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint to this task, whereas we shall devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” The proposal was acceptable to the whole community, so they chose Stephen, a man filled with faith and the Holy Spirit, also Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicholas of Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these men to the apostles who prayed and laid hands on them. The word of God continued to spread, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly; even a large group of priests were becoming obedient to the faith.

17 8 EUCHARISTIC PRAYER Gospel [Read in English] Luke 10: 1-9 HOLY Lectura del santo Evangelio según san Lucas
En aquel tiempo, designó el Señor otros setenta y dos, y los mandó por delante, de dos en dos, a todos los pueblos y lugares a donde pensaba ir él. Y les decía: - La mies es abundante y los obreros pocos: rogad, pues, al dueño de la mies que mande obreros a su mies. ¡Poneos en camino! Mirad que os mando como corderos en medio de lobos. No llevéis talega, ni alforja, ni sandalias; y no os detengáis a saludar a nadie por el camino. Cuando entréis en una casa, decid primero: «Paz a esta casa». Y si allí hay gente de paz, descansará sobre ellos vuestra paz; si no, volverá a vosotros. Quedaos en la misma casa, comed y bebed de lo que tengan: porque el obrero merece su salario. No andéis cambiando de casa. Si entráis en un pueblo y os reciben bien, comed lo que os pongan, curad a los enfermos que haya, y decid: «Está cerca de vosotros el Reino de Dios».
