Gospel
text (Mathew 24,42-51): Jesus
said to his disciples, «Stay awake, then, for you do not know on what day your
Lord will come. Just think about this: if the owner of the house knew that the
thief would come by night around a certain hour, he would stay awake to prevent
his house to be broken into. So be alert, for the Son of Man will come at the
hour you least expect. Imagine a capable servant whom his master has put in
charge of his household to give them food at the proper time. Fortunate indeed
is that servant whom his master will find at work when he comes. Truly, I say
to you, his lord will entrust that one with everything he has. Not so with the
bad servant who thinks: ‘My master is delayed’. And he begins ill-treating his
fellow servants while eating and drinking with drunkards. But his master will
come on the day he does not know and at the hour he least expects. He will
dismiss that servant and deal with him as with the hypocrites, where there will
be weeping and gnashing of teeth».
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»
