Gospel
text (Mathew 19,16-22): A
young man approached him and asked, «Master, what good work must I do to
receive eternal life?». Jesus answered, «Why do you ask me about what is good?
Only one is Good. If you want to enter eternal life, keep the commandments».
The young man said, «Which commandments?». Jesus replied, «Do not kill, do not
commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and
mother, and love your neighbor as yourself». The young man said to him, «I have
kept all these commandments, what is still lacking?». Jesus answered, «If you
wish to be perfect, go and sell all that you possess and give the money to the
poor and you will become the owner of a treasure in heaven. Then come back and
follow me». On hearing this answer, the young man went away sad for he was a
man of great wealth.
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»
