Gospel
text (Mt 9,14-17): John's
disciples came to Jesus and said, «How is it that we and the Pharisees fast on
many occasions, but not your disciples?». Jesus answered them, «How can you
expect wedding guests to mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? Time
will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, then they will
fast. No one patches an old coat with a piece of unshrunken cloth, for the
patch will shrink and tear an even bigger hole in the coat. Besides you don't
put new wine in old wineskins. If you do, the wineskins will burst and the wine
be spilt. No, you put new wine in fresh skins; then both are preserved».
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»
