Gospel (Lk 9,51-56) - As the days were coming when he would be lifted up, Jesus made the firm decision to set out towards Jerusalem and sent messengers ahead of him. They set out and entered a Samaritan village to prepare their entrance. But they did not want to receive him, because he was clearly on his way to Jerusalem. When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven and consume them?" He turned and scolded them. And they set off towards another village.

Gospel (Lk 9,57-62) - At that time, as they were going along the road, a man said to Jesus: "I will follow you wherever you go." Jesus answered him: "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." To another he said: "Follow me." And he replied. «Lord, allow me to go and bury my father first». Jesus replied, “Let the dead bury their dead; you go and announce the kingdom of God." Another said: "I will follow you, Lord, but first let me take leave of those at home." But Jesus answered him: "No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."

Gospel (Lk 10,1-12) - At that time, the Lord designated seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him in every city and place where he was about to go. He told them: «The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few! Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest to send workers into his harvest! Go: behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves; do not carry a purse, bag or sandals and do not stop to greet anyone along the way. Whatever house you enter, first say: “Peace be to this house!”. If there is a child of peace, your peace will come upon him, otherwise it will return to you. Stay in that house, eating and drinking from what they have, because whoever works has a right to his reward. Don't go from one house to another. When you enter a city and they welcome you, eat what is offered to you, heal the sick who are there, and say to them: “The kingdom of God is near you”. But when you enter a city and they do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say: 'Even the…

Gospel (Lk 10,13-16) - At that time, Jesus said: «Woe to you, Chorazin, woe to you, Bethsaida! Because if the miracles that occurred among you had occurred in Tire and Sidon, they would have converted long ago, dressed in sackcloth and sprinkled with ashes. Well, in the judgment, Tire and Sidon will be treated less harshly than you. And you, Capernaum, will you perhaps be raised up to heaven? You will fall to hell! Whoever listens to you listens to me, whoever despises you despises me. And whoever despises me despises him who sent me."

Gospel (Lk 10,17-24) - At that time, the seventy-two returned full of joy, saying: "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name." He said to them: «I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning. Behold, I have given you the power to walk over serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy: nothing will be able to harm you. However, do not rejoice because the demons submit to you; rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven." In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said: «I praise you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned and have revealed them to little ones. Yes, O Father, because you have decided so in your benevolence. Everything has been given to me by my Father and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, nor who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him." And, turning to the disciples, aside, he said: «Blessed are the eyes that see…

Gospel (Mk 10,2-16) - At that time, some Pharisees approached and, to test him, asked Jesus whether it is lawful for a husband to divorce his wife. But he answered them, "What did Moses command you?" They said, “Moses allowed a bill of divorcement to be written and to be repudiated.” Jesus said to them: «Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote this rule for you. But from the beginning of creation [God] made them male and female; for this reason the man will leave his father and his mother and will be united to his wife and the two will become one flesh. Thus they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, let not man divide what God has joined together." At home, the disciples questioned him again about this matter. And he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she, having repudiated her husband, marries another, she commits adultery." They brought children to him for him to touch, but the disciples rebuked…

Gospel (Lk 10,25-37) - At that time, a doctor of the Law stood up to test Jesus and asked: "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?". Jesus said to him: «What is written in the Law? How do you read? He replied, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” He said to him: «You answered well; do this and you will live." But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus: "And who is my neighbor?". Jesus continued: «A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers, who took everything away from him, beat him bloodyly and went away, leaving him half dead. By chance, a priest was going down that same road and, when he saw him, he passed by. Even a Levite, having arrived at that place, saw it and passed on. Instead a Samaritan, who was travelling, passing by him, saw and had compassion on him. He came near him, bandaged his…

Gospel (Lk 10,38-42) - At that time, while they were traveling, Jesus entered a village and a woman named Martha hosted him. She had a sister, named Mary, who, sitting at the feet of the Lord, listened to her word. Marta, on the other hand, was distracted by her many services. She then came forward and said: «Lord, don't you care at all that my sister left me alone to serve? So tell her to help me." But the Lord answered her: «Martha, Martha, you worry and worry about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the best part of herself, which will not be taken away from her."

Gospel (Lk 11,1-4) - Jesus was in a place praying; when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him: "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples." And he said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come; give us our daily bread every day, and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us, and do not abandon ourselves to temptation."

Gospel (Lk 11,5-13) - At that time, Jesus said to the disciples: «If one of you has a friend and goes to him at midnight and says: “Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, because a friend has come to me from a journey and I have nothing to offer him”, and if the one inside replies: "Don't bother me, the door is already closed, my children and I are in bed, I can't get up to give you the loaves", I tell you that, even if he doesn't get up to give them to him because he is his friend, at least because of his intrusiveness he will get up to give him as many as he needs. »Well, I say to you: ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you. For whoever asks receives and whoever seeks finds and whoever knocks it will be opened. Which father among you, if his son asks him for a fish, will he give him a snake instead of the fish? Or if he asks him for an egg, will he give him a scorpion? If you therefore, who are evil, know how to give good…

Gospel (Lk 11,15-26) - At that time, [after Jesus had cast out a demon,] some said: "It is through Beelzebul, the chief of demons, that he casts out demons." Others then, to test him, asked him for a sign from heaven. He, knowing their intentions, said: «Every kingdom divided against itself falls into ruin and one house falls on another. Now, if Satan is also divided within himself, how will his kingdom be able to stand? You say that I cast out demons through Beelzebul. But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, who do your children cast them out by? For this reason they will be your judges. But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you. »When a strong, well-armed man guards his palace, what he possesses is safe. But if someone stronger than him comes and defeats him, he snatches away the weapons he trusted in and divides the spoils. Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me, he scatters. When the impure spirit…

Gospel (Lk 11,27-28) - At that time, while Jesus was speaking, a woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to him: "Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you!". But he said: «Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!».

Gospel (Mk 10,17-30) - At that time, while Jesus was walking along the road, a man ran to meet him and, kneeling before him, asked him: "Good Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?". Jesus said to him: «Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments: "Do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not defraud, honor your father and your mother". He then said to him, "Master, I have observed all these things from my youth." Then Jesus fixed his gaze on him, loved him and said to him: «You lack only one thing: go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; And Come! Follow me!". But at these words his face darkened and he went away saddened; in fact he owned many goods. Jesus, looking around him, said to his disciples: "How difficult it is for those who possess riches to enter the kingdom of God!". The disciples were disconcerted by his words; but Jesus continued and said…

Gospel (Lk 11,29-32) - At that time, while the crowds were gathering, Jesus began to say: «This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given to it, except the sign of Jonah. For just as Jonah was a sign to those of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will also be a sign to this generation. On the day of judgment, the queen of the South will rise up against the men of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, here is one greater than Solomon. On the day of judgment, the inhabitants of Nineveh will rise up against this generation and condemn it, because they converted at Jonah's preaching. And behold, here is one greater than Jonah."

Gospel (Lk 11,37-41) - At that time, while Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited him to lunch. He went and sat down at the table. The Pharisee saw and was amazed that he had not performed his ablutions before lunch. Then the Lord said to him: «You Pharisees clean the outside of the glass and the plate, but your inside is full of greed and wickedness. Fools! Didn't he who made the outside also make the inside? Rather, give as alms what is within, and behold, everything will be pure for you."

Gospel (Lk 11,42-46) - At that time, the Lord said: «Woe to you, Pharisees, who pay tithes on mint, on rue and on all herbs, and leave aside justice and the love of God. These instead were the things to do , without neglecting those. Woe to you, Pharisees, who love first places in the synagogues and greetings in the squares. Woe to you, because you are like those tombs that cannot be seen and people pass over them without knowing it." One of the doctors of the Law intervened and said to him: "Master, by saying this, you offend us too." He replied: «Woe also to you, doctors of the Law, who burden men with unbearable burdens, and you do not even touch those burdens with a finger!».

Gospel (Lk 11,47-54) - At that time, the Lord said: «Woe to you, who build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Thus you testify and approve the works of your fathers: they killed them and you build. For this reason the wisdom of God said: "I will send them prophets and apostles and they will kill them and persecute them", so that this generation will be asked to account for the blood of all the prophets, shed since the beginning of the world: from the blood of Abel to to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held accountable. Woe to you, doctors of the Law, who have taken away the key to knowledge; you did not enter, and you prevented those who wanted to enter." When he left there, the scribes and Pharisees began to treat him in a hostile manner and to make him speak on many topics, setting traps for him, to surprise him in some word that came from his own mouth.

Gospel (Lk 10,1-9) - At that time, the Lord designated seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him in every city and place where he was about to go.

Go: behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves; do not carry a purse, bag or sandals and do not stop to greet anyone along the way. »Whatever house you enter, first say: “Peace be to this house!”. If there is a child of peace, your peace will come upon him, otherwise it will return to you. Stay in that house, eating and drinking from what they have, because whoever works has a right to his reward. Don't go from one house to another. When you enter a city and they welcome you, eat what is offered to you, heal the sick who are there, and say to them: 'The kingdom of God is near you'".

Gospel (Lk 12,8-12) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «I tell you: whoever recognizes me before men, even the Son of man will recognize him before the angels of God; but whoever denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God. Whoever speaks against the Son of man will be forgiven him; but whoever blasphemes the Holy Spirit, he will not be forgiven. "When they bring you before the synagogues, the magistrates and the authorities, do not worry about how or what to exonerate yourself, or what to say, because the Holy Spirit will teach you in that moment what needs to be said."

Gospel (Mk 10,35-45) - At that time, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approached Jesus and said to him: "Master, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you". He said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?" They answered him: «Grant us to sit, in your glory, one at your right and one at your left». Jesus said to them: «You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”. They replied: "We can." And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink, you too will drink, and in the baptism with which I am baptized you will also be baptized. But sitting on my right or my left is not up to me to grant; it is for those for whom it was prepared." The other ten, having heard, began to be indignant with James and John. Then Jesus called them to him and said to them: «You know that those who are considered the rulers of the nations rule over them and their leaders oppress them. However, this is not the…

Gospel (Lk 12,13-21) - At that time, one of the crowd said to Jesus: "Master, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." But he replied, "O man, who made me judge or mediator over you?" And he said to them: "Be careful and keep away from all greed because, even if someone is in abundance, his life does not depend on what he possesses." Then he told them a parable: «The countryside of a rich man had produced an abundant harvest. He reasoned to himself: «What will I do, since I have nowhere to put my crops? I will do this – he said –: I will demolish my warehouses and build larger ones and I will collect all the grain and my goods there. Then I will say to myself: My soul, you have many goods at your disposal, for many years; rest, eat, drink and have fun! ». But God said to him: «You fool, this very night your life will be required of you. And what you have prepared, whose will it be? ». So it is with those who accumulate treasures for themselves and do not enrich…

Gospel (Lk 12,35-38) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «Be ready, with your clothes tied around your waist and your lamps lit; be like those who wait for their master when he returns from the wedding, so that when he arrives and knocks, they open the door immediately.

And if, arriving in the middle of the night or before dawn, he finds them like this, lucky them!

Gospel (Lk 12,39-48) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «Try to understand this: if the master of the house knew at what time the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into. You too should be ready because, at an hour you do not imagine, the Son of Man is coming." Then Peter said: "Lord, are you saying this parable for us or for everyone?". The Lord replied: «Who then is the trusted and prudent administrator, whom the master will place in charge of his servants to give the food ration in due time? Blessed is that servant whom the master, upon arriving, finds acting thus. Truly I tell you that he will put you in charge of all his possessions. But if that servant said in his heart, “My master is slow in coming,” and began to beat the male and female servants, to eat, to drink, and to get drunk, the master of that servant will come one day when he will not take it. wait and at an hour he doesn't know, he will punish him severely and inflict on…

Gospel (Lk 12,49-53) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «I have come to throw fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already lit! I have a baptism in which I will be baptized, and how I am anxious until it is completed! Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on, if there are five people in a family, they will be divided three against two and two against three; they will divide father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."
