Gospel (Mk 11,27-33) - At that time, Jesus and his disciples went to Jerusalem again. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes and the elders came to him and said to him, “By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you the authority to do them?”. But Jesus said to them: «I will ask you only one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I do this. Was John's baptism from heaven or from men? Answer me". They argued among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will answer, 'Why then did you not believe him?' ». Shall we therefore say: "From men"? But they feared the crowd, because they all believed that John was truly a prophet. Responding to Jesus they said: "We don't know." And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

Gospel (Mk 14,12-16.22-26) - On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover was sacrificed, the disciples said to Jesus: "Where do you want us to go to prepare, so that you can eat the Passover?". Then he sent two of his disciples, saying to them: «Go into the city and a man will meet you with a jug of water; follow him. Where he enters, say to the master of the house: "The Master says: Where is my room, where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?". He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready; prepare dinner for us there." The disciples went and entered the city and found it as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. While they were eating, he took bread and recited the blessing, broke it and gave it to them, saying: "Take, this is my body." Then he took a cup and gave thanks, gave it to them and they all drank from it. And he said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many. Truly I say to you that I will never drink of…

Gospel (Mk 12,1-12) - At that time, Jesus began to speak in parables [to the chief priests, scribes and elders]: «A man planted a vineyard, surrounded it with a hedge, dug a hole for the wine press and built a tower. He rented it to some farmers and went far away. »At the right time he sent a servant to the farmers to collect from them his share of the vineyard harvest. But they took him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. He again sent them another servant: they also beat him on the head and insulted him. He sent another, and they killed this one; then many others: some they beat, others they killed. He still had one, a beloved son; he sent him to them last, saying: «They will have respect for my son!». But those farmers said among themselves: «This is the heir. Come on, let's kill him and the inheritance will be ours." They took him, killed him and threw him out of the vineyard. »What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and make the farmers die and give…

Gospel (Mk 12,13-17) - At that time, they sent some Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus, to catch him in his speech. They came and said to him: «Teacher, we know that you are truthful and do not stand in awe of anyone, because you do not pay attention to anyone, but teach the way of God according to truth. Is it lawful or not to pay tribute to Caesar? Should we give it, or not?”. But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them: «Why do you want to test me? Bring me some money: I want to see it." And they brought it to him. Then he said to them: «This image and the inscription, whose are they?». They answered him: "Caesar's." Jesus said to them, "Render what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's, to God." And they remained in admiration of him.

Gospel (Mk 12,18-27) - At that time, some Sadducees came to Jesus - who say that there is no resurrection - and questioned him, saying: «Master, Moses left us a written message that if someone's brother dies and leaves his wife without children, his brother take a wife and give offspring to his brother. There were seven brothers: the first took a wife, died and left no descendants. Then the second took it and died without leaving descendants; and the third likewise, and none of the seven left descendants. In the end, after all, the woman also died. At the resurrection, when they rise again, which of them will she be the wife of? Since all seven had her as wives." Jesus answered them, “Isn't this why you are in error, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? In fact, when they rise from the dead, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage, but will be like angels in heaven. Regarding the fact that the dead are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses,…

Gospel (Mk 12,28-34) -  At that time, one of the scribes approached Jesus and asked him: "Which is the first of all the commandments?". Jesus replied: «The first is: «Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the only Lord; you will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength." The second is this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” There is no other commandment greater than these." The scribe said to him: «You have said well, Master, and according to truth, that He is unique and there is no other except Him; loving him with all your heart, with all your intelligence and with all your strength and loving your neighbor as yourself is worth more than all the holocausts and sacrifices." Seeing that he had responded wisely, Jesus said to him: "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And no one had the courage to question him anymore.

Gospel (Jn 19,31-37) - It was the day of Parascève and the Jews, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath - that Sabbath was in fact a solemn day - asked Pilate to have their legs broken and taken away. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of one and the other who had been crucified with him. However, when they came to Jesus, seeing that he was already dead, they did not break his legs, but one of the soldiers hit his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. He who has seen bears witness, and his testimony is true; he knows that he speaks the truth, so that you too may believe. In fact, this happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: "Not a bone of his will be broken." And another passage of Scripture says: "They will look at him whom they have pierced."

Gospel (Lk 2,41-51) - Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem every year for the Passover festival. When he was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the festival. But, after the days, while they resumed their journey back, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem, without his parents realizing it. Believing that he was in the party, they traveled for a day, and then began looking for him among their relatives and acquaintances; Not having found him, they returned to Jerusalem to look for him. After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, while he listened to them and questioned them. And all who heard him were amazed at his intelligence and his answers. When they saw him they were amazed, and his mother said to him: «Son, why have you done this to us? Behold, your father and I, anxious, were looking for you." And he answered them: «Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must concern myself with my Father's affairs? But they did not…

Gospel (Mk 3,20-35) - At that time, Jesus entered a house and again a crowd gathered, so much so that they could not even eat. Then his men, hearing this, went out to fetch him; in fact they said: "he is beside himself". The scribes, who had come down from Jerusalem, said: "This man is possessed by Beelzebul and casts out demons through the prince of demons." But he called them and said to them in parables: «How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand; if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. Likewise, if Satan rebels against himself and is divided, he cannot resist, but he is about to finish. No one can enter the house of a strong man and steal his things unless he has first tied up that strong man; then he will plunder his house. Truly I say to you, all the sins of the sons of men will be forgiven, even all the blasphemies that they say; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not have forgiveness…

Gospel (Mt 5,1-12) - At that time, seeing the crowds, Jesus went up the mountain and, sitting down, his disciples approached him. Then speaking, he taught them, saying: «Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those persecuted for the sake of justice, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and rejoice, for great is your reward in heaven. In fact, this is how they persecuted the prophets before you."

Gospel (Mt 5,13-16) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how can it be made salty? It is good for nothing other than to be thrown away and trampled upon by men. You are the light of the world; A city placed on a mountain cannot remain hidden, nor do you light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on the lampstand so that it gives light to all who are in the house. So let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."

Gospel (Mt 5,17-19) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish it, but to give it full fulfilment. Truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single iota or a single dash of the Law will pass away without everything having come to pass. Whoever therefore transgresses even one of these minimum precepts and teaches others to do the same will be considered the least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever observes them and teaches them will be considered great in the kingdom of heaven."

Gospel (Mt 5,20-26) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «I tell you: if your righteousness does not surpass that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. »You have heard that it was said to the ancients: Do not kill; whoever kills will be subjected to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be subjected to judgment. Whoever then says to his brother: stupid, he will be subjected to the Sanhedrin; and whoever says to him: crazy, he will be subjected to the fire of Gehenna. »If therefore you present your offering on the altar and there you remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar and go first to be reconciled with your brother and then return to offer yours. gift. Make an agreement quickly with your adversary while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary hand you over to the judge and the judge to the guard and you be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you:…

Gospel (Mt 5,27-32) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «You have heard that it was said: Do not commit adultery; but I say to you: whoever looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in her heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away from you: it is better for one of your members to perish than for your whole body to be thrown into Gehenna. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you: it is better for one of your members to perish than for your whole body to end up in Gehenna. »It was also said: Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce; but I say to you: whoever divorces her wife, except in the case of concubinage, exposes her to adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

Gospel (Mt 5,33-37) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «You have also heard that it was said to the ancients: Do not perjure yourself, but fulfill your oaths with the Lord; but I say unto you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God; nor for the earth, because it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King. Do not swear even by your head, because you do not have the power to make a single hair white or black. Instead, let your speaking be yes, yes; ninth; anything more comes from the evil one."

Gospel (Mk 4,26-34) - At that time, Jesus said [to the crowd]: «This is how the kingdom of God is: like a man who casts seed on the ground; he sleeps or wakes, night or day, the seed germinates and grows. How, he himself does not know. The soil spontaneously produces first the stem, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear; and when the fruit is ripe, immediately he sends the sickle, because the harvest has come." He said: «To what can we compare the kingdom of God or with what parable can we describe it? It is like a mustard seed which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds that are on the ground; but, when it is sown, it grows and becomes larger than all the plants in the garden and makes branches so large that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade." With many parables of the same kind he announced the Word to them, as they could understand. Without parables he did not speak to them but, in private, he explained everything to his disciples.

Gospel (Mt 5,38-42) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «You have heard that it was said: “An eye for an eye” and “a tooth for a tooth”. But I tell you, do not oppose the wicked; Indeed, if someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other to him too, and to anyone who wants to take you to court and take away your tunic, leave your cloak too. And if anyone forces you to go with him one mile, go with him two. Give to those who ask you, and do not turn your back on those who want to borrow from you."

Gospel (Mt 5,43-48) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «You have heard that it was said: “You will love your neighbor” and you will hate your enemy. But I say to you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven; he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't publicans do this too? And if you only greet your brothers, what are you doing that is extraordinary? Don't pagans do this too? You, therefore, be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect."

Gospel (Mt 6,1-6.16-18) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «Be careful not to practice your righteousness before men to be admired by them, otherwise there is no reward for you from your Father who is in heaven. Therefore, when you give alms, do not blow the trumpet in front of you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, to be praised by the people. Truly I say to you: they have already received their reward. Instead, while you give alms, let your left hand not know what your right hand is doing, so that your almsgiving remains in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you. »And when you pray, do not be similar to the hypocrites who, in the synagogues and in the corners of the squares, love to pray standing upright, to be seen by people. Truly I say to you: they have already received their reward. Instead, when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret,…

Gospel (Mt 6,7-15) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «When praying, do not waste words like the pagans: they believe they are heard by words. Therefore do not be like them, because your Father knows what things you need even before you ask him. »You therefore pray like this: 'Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors, and do not give us over to temptation, but deliver us from evil.' For if you forgive others their sins, your Father who is in heaven will forgive you also; but if you do not forgive others, not even your Father will forgive your sins."

Gospel (Mt 6,19-23) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; instead lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in or steal. Because where your treasure is, there your heart will also be. »The lamp of the body is the eye; therefore, if your eye is simple, your whole body will be luminous; but if your eye is evil, your whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great will be the darkness!

Gospel (Mt 6,24-34) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «No one can serve two masters, because either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be fond of one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth. Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will wear; Is not life worth more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than them? And who among you, no matter how much he worries, can extend his life even a little? »And about the dress, why are you worried? Observe how the lilies of the field grow: they neither toil nor spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon, in all his glory, was dressed like one of these. Now, if God thus clothes the grass of the field, which today is there and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not do much…

Gospel (Mk 4,35-41) - On that day, when evening came, Jesus said to his disciples: "Let us cross over to the other shore." And having sent the crowd away, they took him with them, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. There was a great windstorm and the waves were pouring into the boat, so much so that it was now full. He was in the stern, on the pillow, and sleeping. Then they woke him up and said to him, "Master, don't you care that we are lost?" He woke up, threatened the wind and said to the sea: "Shut up, calm down!". The wind stopped and there was a great calm. Then he said to them: «Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?". And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

Gospel (Lk 1,57-66.80) - For Elizabeth the time of childbirth came and she gave birth to a son. Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy in her, and they rejoiced with her. Eight days later they came to circumcise the child and wanted to name him after his father, Zechariah. But her mother intervened: "No, his name will be Giovanni." They said to her, "There is no one of your relatives who is called by this name." Then they asked her father with nods what he wanted him to be called. He asked for a tablet and wrote: "John is his name." Everyone was amazed. Immediately her mouth and her tongue were opened, and she spoke, blessing God. Fear filled all their neighbors, and all these things were talked about throughout the hill country of Judea. All those who heard them kept them in their hearts, saying: "What will this child be?" And truly the hand of the Lord was with him. The child grew and became stronger in spirit. He lived in desert regions until the…
