Gospel
text (Luke 11,42-46): Jesus
said, «A curse is on you, Pharisees; for the Temple you give a tenth of all,
including mint and rue and the other herbs, but you neglect justice and the
love of God. This ought to be practiced, without neglecting the other. A curse
is on you, Pharisees, for you love the best seats in the synagogues and to be
greeted in the marketplace. A curse is on you for you are like tombstones of
the dead which can hardly be seen; people don't notice them and make themselves
unclean by stepping on them». Then a teacher of the Law spoke up and said,
«Master, when you speak like this, you insult us, too». And Jesus answered, «A
curse is on you also, teachers of the Law. For you prepare unbearable burdens
and load them on the people, while you yourselves don't move a finger to help
them».
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»
