Gospel
text (John 16,20-23a): Jesus
said to his disciples, «Truly, I say to you, you will weep and mourn while the
world rejoices. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy. A
woman in childbirth is in distress because her time is at hand. But after the
child is born, she no longer remembers her suffering because of such great joy:
a human being is born into the world. You feel sorrowful now, but I will see
you again, and your hearts will rejoice. And no one will take your joy from
you. When that day comes you will not ask me anything. Truly, I say to you,
whatever you ask the Father in my Name, He will give you».
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»
