Gospel text (Mathew 5,43-48): Jesus said to his
disciples, «You have heard that it was said: Love your neighbor and do not do
good to your enemy. But this I tell you: Love your enemies, and pray for those
who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in Heaven. For He
makes his sun rise on both the wicked and the good, and He gives rain to both
the just and the unjust. If you love those who love you, what is special about
that? Do not even tax collectors do as much? And if you are friendly only to
your friends, what is so exceptional about that? Do not even the pagans do as
much? For your part you shall be righteous and perfect in the way your heavenly
Father is righteous and perfect».
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»
