Gospel text (John 10,22-30): The time came for the
feast of the Dedication. It was winter and Jesus walked back and forth in the
portico of Solomon. The Jews then gathered around him and said to him, «How
long will you keep us in doubt? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly». Jesus
answered, «I have already told you but you do not believe. The works I do in my
Father's name proclaim who I am, but you don't believe because, as I said, you
are not my sheep. My sheep hear my voice and I know them; they follow me and I
give them eternal life. They shall never perish and no one will ever steal them
from me. What the Father has given me is stronger than everything and no one
can snatch it from the Father's hand. I and the Father are one».
Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»
