Gospel text (John 20,19-23): On the evening of that
day, the first day after the Sabbath, the doors were locked where the disciples
were, because of their fear of the Jews, but Jesus came and stood in their
midst. He said to them, «Peace be with you»; then He showed them his hands and
his side. The disciples kept looking at the Lord and were full of joy. Again
Jesus said to them, «Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send
you». After saying this He breathed on them and said to them, «Receive the Holy
Spirit; for those whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven; for those whose
sins you retain, they are retained».
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»
