Gospel
text (Mathew 12,38-42): Some
teachers of the Law and some Pharisees spoke up, «Teacher, we want to see a
sign from you». Jesus answered them, «An evil and unfaithful people want a
sign, but no sign will be given them except the sign of the prophet Jonah. In
the same way that Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of the
monster fish, so will the Son of Man spend three days and three nights in the
depths of the earth. At the judgment, the people of Niniveh will rise with this
generation and condemn it, because they reformed their lives at the preaching
of Jonah, and here there is greater than Jonah. At the judgment, the Queen of
the South will stand up and condemn you. She came from the ends of the earth to
listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and here there is greater than Solomon».
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»
