Gospel
text (Mathew 11,13-19): Jesus
spoke to the crowds: «Now, to what can I compare the people of this day? They
are like children sitting in the marketplace, about whom their companions
complain: ‘We played the flute for you but you would not dance. We sang a
funeral-song but you would not cry!’. For John came fasting and people said:
‘He is possessed’. Then the Son of Man came, he ate and drank, and people said:
‘Look at this man! A glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and
sinners!’. Yet the outcome will prove Wisdom to be right».
