Confirmation Mass, May 29, 2026

First Reading
Isaiah 42: 1-3
(Read in English)

A reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah
Thus says the Lord:
“Here is my servant whom I uphold,
my chosen one with whom I am pleased.
Upon him I have put my spirit;
he shall bring forth justice to the nations.
He will not cry out, nor shout,
nor make his voice heard in the street.
A bruised reed he will not break,
and a dimly burning wick he will not quench.
He will faithfully bring forth justice.

Segunda Lectura
Gálatas 5:16-17,22-25
(Read in Spanish)

Lectura de la carta del apóstol san Pablo a los gálatas

Hermanos: Los exhorto a que vivan de acuerdo con las exigencias del Espíritu; así no se dejarán arrastrar por el desorden egoísta del hombre. Este desorden está en contra del Espíritu de Dios, y el Espíritu está en contra de ese desorden.
Y esta oposición es tan radical, que les impide a ustedes hacer lo que querrían hacer.
Los frutos del Espíritu Santo son: el amor, la alegría, la paz, la generosidad, la benignidad, la bondad, la fidelidad, la mansedumbre y el dominio de sí mismo.
Y los que son de Jesucristo ya han crucificado su egoísmo, junto con sus pasiones y malos deseos. Si tenemos la vida del Espíritu, actuemos conforme a ese mismo Espíritu.

Palabra de Dios.

Gospel
John 14: 23-26
(Read in English)

A reading from the holy Gospel according to John

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Whoever loves me will keep my word,
and my Father will love him,
and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words;
Yet the word you hear is not mine but
that of the Father who sent me.
I have told you this while I am with you.
The Advocate, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in my name,
will teach you everything
and remind you of all that I told you.”

The Gospel of the Lord.
