Gospel
text (Mathew 23,23-26):
Jesus said, «Woe to you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You
do not forget the mint, anise and cumin seeds when you pay the tenth of
everything, but then you forget what is most fundamental in the Law: justice,
mercy and faith. These you must practice, without neglecting the others. Blind
guides! You strain out a mosquito, but swallow a camel. Woe to you, teachers of
the Law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You fill the plate and the cup with
theft and violence, and then pronounce a blessing over them. Blind Pharisee!
Purify the inside first, then the outside too will be purified».
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»
