Gospel
text (Luke 14,1.7-11):
One Sabbath Jesus had gone to eat a meal in the house of a leading Pharisee,
and he was carefully watched. Jesus then told a parable to the guests, for He
had noticed how they tried to take the places of honor. And He said, «When you
are invited to a wedding party, do not choose the best seat. It may happen that
someone more important than you has been invited, and your host, who invited
both of you, will come and say to you: ‘Please give this person your place’.
What shame is yours when you take the lowest seat! Whenever you are invited, go
rather to the lowest seat, so that your host may come and say to you: ‘Friend,
you must come up higher’. And this will be a great honor for you in the
presence of all the other guests. For whoever makes himself out to be great
will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be raised».
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»
