Gospel
text (Mathew 13,24-30): Jesus
told his disciples another parable, «The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a
man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep, his enemy came
and sowed weeds among the wheat and left. When the plants sprouted and produced
grain, the weeds also appeared. Then the servants of the owner came to him and
said: ‘Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed in your field? Where did the
weeds come from?’. He answered them: ‘This is the work of an enemy’. They asked
him: ‘Do you want us to go and pull up the weeds?’. He told them: ‘No, when you
pull up the weeds, you might uproot the wheat with them. Let them just grow
together until harvest; and at harvest time I will say to the workers: Pull up
the weeds first, tie them in bundles and burn them; then gather the wheat into
my barn’».
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»
