Gospel
text (Luke 21,12-19): Jesus
said to his disciples, «People will lay their hands on you and persecute you;
you will be delivered to the Jewish courts and put in prison, and for my sake
you will be brought before kings and governors. This will be your opportunity
to bear witness. So keep this in mind: do not worry in advance about what to
answer, for I will give you words and wisdom that none of your opponents will
be able to withstand or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, and
brothers, by relatives and friends, and some of you will be put to death. But
even though you are hated by all for my name's sake, not a hair of your head
will perish. Through perseverance you will possess your own selves».
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»
