Gospel
text (Luke 13,22-30): Jesus
went through towns and villages teaching and making his way to Jerusalem.
Someone asked him, «Lord, is it true that few people will be saved?». And Jesus
answered, «Do your best to enter by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will
try to enter and will not be able. When once the master of the house has got up
and locked the door, you will stand outside; then you will knock at the door
calling: ‘Lord, open to us’. But he will say to you: ‘I do not know where you
come from’. Then you will say: ‘We ate and drank with you and you taught in our
streets!’. But he will reply: ‘I don't know where you come from. Away from me
all you workers of evil’. You will weep and grind your teeth when you see
Abraham and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you
yourselves left outside. Others will sit at table in the kingdom of God, people
coming from east and west, from north and south. Some who are among the last
will be the first, and others who were first will be last!».
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»
