Gospel
text (Luke 5,12-16):
One day in another town, a man came to Jesus covered with leprosy. On seeing
him he bowed down to the ground, and said, «Lord, if you want to, you can make
me clean». Stretching out his hand, Jesus touched the man and said, «Yes, I
want it. Be clean». In an instant the leprosy left him. Then Jesus instructed
him, «Tell this to no one. But go and show yourself to the priest. Make an
offering for your healing, as Moses prescribed; that should be a proof to the
people». But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and large crowds came to
him to listen and be healed of their sickness. As for Jesus, he would often
withdraw to solitary places and pray.
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»
