Gospel
text (Mc 8,27-33): Jesus
set out with his disciples for the villages around Caesarea Philippi; and on
the way He asked them, «Who do people say I am?». And they told him, «Some say
you are John the Baptist; others say you are Elijah or one of the prophets».
Then Jesus asked them, «But you, who do you say I am?». Peter answered, «You
are the Messiah». And he ordered them not to tell anyone about him. Jesus then
began to teach them that the Son of Man had to suffer many things and be
rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the Law. He would
be killed and after three days rise again. Jesus said all this quite openly, so
that Peter took him aside and began to protest strongly. But Jesus turning
around, and looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter saying, «Get behind me
Satan! You are thinking, not as God does, but as people do».
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»
