Gospel
text (John 3,7-15): Jesus
said to Nicodemus, «Because of this, don't be surprised when I say: ‘You must
be born again from above’. The wind blows where it pleases and you hear its
sound, but you don't know where it comes from or where it is going. It is like
that with everyone who is born of the Spirit». Nicodemus asked again, «How can
this be?». And Jesus answered, «You are a teacher in Israel, and you don't know
these things! Truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and we witness to
the things we have seen, but you don't accept our testimony. If you don't
believe when I speak of earthly things, what then, when I speak to you of
heavenly things? No one has ever gone up to heaven except the one who came from
heaven, the Son of Man. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must
the Son of Man be lifted up, so that whoever believes in him may have eternal
life».
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»
