Gospel
text (Mark 2,13-17): When
Jesus went out again beside the lake, a crowd came to Him and He taught them.
As he walked along, he saw a tax collector sitting in his office. This was
Levi, the son of Alpheus. Jesus said to him, «Follow me». And Levi got up and
followed Him. And it so happened that while Jesus was eating in Levi's house,
tax collectors and sinners were sitting with Him and His disciples for there
were indeed many of them. But there were also teachers of the Law of the
Pharisees' party, among those who followed Jesus, and when they saw Him eating
with sinners and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, «Why! He eats with
tax collectors and sinners!». Jesus heard them and answered, «Healthy people
don't need a doctor, but sick people do. I did not come to call the righteous
but sinners».
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»
