Gospel
text (Mt 13,1-9): Jesus
left the house and sat down by the lakeside. As many people gathered around
him, He got in a boat. There He sat while the whole crowd stood on the shore,
and he spoke to them in parables about many things. Jesus said, «The sower went
out to sow and, as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path and the birds came
and ate them up. Other seeds fell on rocky ground where there was little soil,
and the seeds sprouted quickly because the soil was not deep. But as soon the
sun rose the plants were scorched and withered because they had no roots. Again
other seeds fell among thistles; and the thistles grew and choked the plants.
Still other seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop; some produced a
hundredfold, others sixty and others thirty. If you have ears, then hear!».
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»
