Gospel
text (John 16,16-20): Jesus
said to his disciples, «A little while and you will see me no more; and then a
little while, and you will see me». Some of the disciples wondered, «What does
he mean by: ‘A little while and you will not see me, and then a little while
and you will see me’? And why did He say: ‘I go to the Father’?». And they said
to one another, «What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don't understand».
Jesus knew that they wanted to question him; so He said to them, «You are
puzzled because I told you that in a little while you will see me no more, and
then a little while later you will see me. Truly, I say to you, you will weep
and mourn while the world rejoices. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will
turn to joy».
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»
