Gospel text (Mathew 19,16-22): A young man approached him
and asked, «Master, what good work must I do to receive eternal life?». Jesus
answered, «Why do you ask me about what is good? Only one is Good. If you want
to enter eternal life, keep the commandments». The young man said, «Which
commandments?». Jesus replied, «Do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not
steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother, and love your
neighbor as yourself». The young man said to him, «I have kept all these
commandments, what is still lacking?». Jesus answered, «If you wish to be
perfect, go and sell all that you possess and give the money to the poor and
you will become the owner of a treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow
me». On hearing this answer, the young man went away sad for he was a man of
great wealth.
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»
