Gospel
text (Mathew 10,1-7):
Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority over the
unclean spirits to drive them out and to heal every disease and sickness. These
are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his
brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and
Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew, the tax collector; James, the son of Alphaeus,
and Thaddaeus; Simon, the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, the man who would
betray him. Jesus sent these twelve on mission with the instruction: «Do not
visit pagan territory and do not enter a Samaritan town. Go instead to the lost
sheep of the people of Israel. Go and proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of
heaven is near’».
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»
