Gospel (Mk 7,1-8.14-15.21-23) - At that time, the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus. Having seen that some of his disciples took food with impure, that is, unwashed hands - in fact the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they have washed their hands carefully, following the tradition of the ancients and, returning from the market, they do not eat without having performed ablutions, and observe many other things by tradition, such as washing glasses, dishes, copper objects and beds -, those Pharisees and scribes questioned him: «Why do your disciples not behave according to the tradition of the ancients, but do they take food with unclean hands?”. And he answered them: «Isaiah prophesied well about you hypocrites, as it is written: “This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. In vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines that are precepts of men." By neglecting the commandment of God, you…

Gospel (Lk 4,16-30) - At that time, Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had grown up, and as usual, on the Sabbath, he entered the synagogue and stood up to read. He was given the scroll of the prophet Isaiah; he opened the scroll and found the passage where it was written: «The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; for this reason he anointed me and sent me to bring good news to the poor, to proclaim liberation to prisoners and sight to the blind; to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of grace of the Lord". He rewound the scroll, handed it back to the attendant and sat down. In the synagogue, everyone's eyes were fixed on him. Then he began to say to them: "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing." Everyone bore witness to him and were amazed at the words of grace that came from his mouth and said: "Isn't this the son of Joseph?". But he replied to them: «You will certainly quote to me this proverb: “Physician, heal yourself. What we heard happened in Capernaum, do…

Gospel (Lk 4,31-37) - At that time, Jesus went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people. They were amazed at his teaching because his word had authority. In the synagogue there was a man who was possessed by an impure demon; he began to shout loudly: «Enough! What do you want from us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to ruin us? I know who you are: the saint of God! Jesus ordered him sternly: «Shut up! Get out of him! And the devil threw him to the ground among the people and came out of him, without harming him. Everyone was filled with fear and said to one another: "What kind of word is this, which commands with authority and power the impure spirits and they go away?". And his fame spread to every place in the surrounding region.

Gospel (Lk 4,38-44) - At that time, Jesus left the synagogue and entered Simon's house. Simon's mother-in-law was in the grip of a great fever and they prayed to him for her. He bent over her, commanded the fever, and her fever left her. And immediately she stood up and served them. As the sun went down, all those who had sick people suffering from various diseases brought them to him. And he, laying his hands on each one, healed them. Demons also came out of many, shouting: "You are the Son of God!". But he threatened them and would not let them speak, because they knew that he was the Christ. At daybreak he went out and went to a deserted place. But the crowds were looking for him, they caught up with him and tried to hold him back so that he wouldn't go away. But he said to them: «It is necessary that I announce the good news of the kingdom of God also to the other cities; this is why I was sent." And he went preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

Gospel (Lk 5,1-11) - At that time, while the crowd was crowding around him to listen to the word of God, Jesus, standing near the lake of Gennesaret, saw two boats pulled up to the shore. The fishermen had gone down and were washing their nets. He got into a boat, which belonged to Simon, and asked him to move away from the land a little. He sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon: "Put out into the deep and cast your nets for a catch." Simon replied: «Master, we toiled all night and got nothing; but at your word I will let down the nets." They did so and caught a huge quantity of fish and their nets almost broke. Then they signaled to their companions on the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats until they almost sank. Seeing this, Simon Peter fell at Jesus' knees, saying: "Lord, depart from me, for I am a sinner." In fact, amazement had invaded him and all those who were with him, at the fishing they…

Gospel (Lk 5,33-39) - At that time, the Pharisees and their scribes said to Jesus: «John's disciples often fast and pray; so also the disciples of the Pharisees; yours instead eat and drink! Jesus answered them, “Can you make the wedding guests fast when the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them: then they will fast in those days." He also told them a parable: «No one tears a piece from a new garment to put it on an old garment; otherwise the new one will tear it and the piece taken from the new one will not fit the old one. And no one pours new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the wineskins, spill and the wineskins will be lost. New wine must be poured into new wineskins. Then no one who drinks old wine desires the new, because he says: "The old is pleasant!".

Gospel (Lk 6,1-5) - One Saturday, Jesus was passing through fields of wheat and his disciples were picking and eating the ears, rubbing them with their hands. Some Pharisees said: "Why do you do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?" Jesus answered them, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? As he entered the house of God, he took the bread of the offering, ate it and gave it to his companions, although it is not lawful to eat them except only to the priests? And he said to them: "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

Gospel (Mk 7,31-37) - At that time, Jesus, having left the region of Tyre, passing through Sidon, came towards the Sea of Galilee in the full territory of the Decapolis. They brought him a deaf mute and begged him to lay his hand on him. He took him aside, away from the crowd, put his fingers in his ears and touched his tongue with saliva; then looking towards the sky, he let out a sigh and said to him: "Effata", that is: "Open up!". And immediately his ears were opened, the knot of his tongue was untied, and he spoke correctly. And he commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he forbade it, the more they proclaimed it and, full of amazement, said: "He has done everything well: he makes the deaf hear and the mute speak!".

Gospel (Lk 6,6-11) - One Saturday Jesus entered the synagogue and began to teach. There was a man there who had a paralyzed right hand. The scribes and Pharisees watched him to see if he healed him on the Sabbath, to find something to accuse him of. But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man who had a paralyzed hand: "Get up and stand here in the middle!". He stood up and stood between them. Then Jesus said to them: «I ask you: on the Sabbath, is it lawful to do good or to do evil, to save a life or to take it away?». And looking at them all around, he said to the man: "Stretch out your hand!". He did it and his hand was healed. But they, beside themselves with anger, began to argue among themselves about what they could do to Jesus.

Gospel (Lk 6,12-19) - In those days, Jesus went to the mountain to pray and spent the whole night praying to God. When it was day, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, to whom he also gave the name of apostles: Simon, to whom he also gave the name of Peter; Andrea, his brother; James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas; James, son of Alphaeus; Simon, called Zealot; Judah, son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who became the traitor. Having descended with them, he stopped in a flat place. There was a large crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea, from Jerusalem and from the coast of Tire and Sidon, who had come to listen to him and be healed of their illnesses; even those who were tormented by unclean spirits were healed. The whole crowd tried to touch him, because a strength came out of him that healed everyone.

Gospel (Lk 6,20-26) - At that time, raising his eyes towards his disciples, Jesus said: «Blessed are you poor, because the kingdom of God is yours. Blessed are you who are hungry now, because you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who cry now, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when men hate you and when they banish you and revile you and reject your name as wicked, because of the Son of man. Rejoice on that day and rejoice, for, behold, your reward is great in heaven. In fact, their fathers did the same thing with the prophets. »But woe to you, rich people, because you already have your consolation. Woe to you who are now full, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will be afflicted and weep. Woe to you when all men speak well of you. For in the same way their fathers did with the false prophets."

Gospel (Lk 6,27-38) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «To you who listen, I say: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who treat you badly. To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; from anyone who takes your cloak, don't even refuse your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and to anyone who takes your things, do not ask for them back. And as you want men to do to you, so do you also to them. If you love those who love you, what gratitude is due to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what gratitude is due to you? Even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what gratitude is due to you? Even sinners lend to sinners to receive the same. Instead, love your enemies, do good and lend without expecting anything from it, and your reward will be great and you will be children of the Most High, because he is benevolent…

Gospel (Lk 6,39-42) - At that time, Jesus told his disciples a parable: «Can a blind man lead another blind man? Won't they both fall into a ditch? A disciple is no more than the master; but everyone who is well prepared will be like his teacher. Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye and do not notice the plank that is in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, “Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,” while you yourself do not see the plank that is in your eye? Hypocritical! First take the plank out of your own eye and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

Gospel (Jn 3,13-17) - At that time, Jesus said to Nicodèmo: «No one has ever ascended to heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of man. And as Moses raised the serpent in the desert, so the Son of Man must be raised, so that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. In fact, God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in him should not be lost but have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through him."

Gospel (Mk 8,27-35) - At that time, Jesus left with his disciples towards the villages around Caesarea Philippi, and on the way he questioned his disciples saying: "Who do people say that I am?". And they answered him: «John the Baptist; others say Elijah and others one of the prophets." And he asked them: "But who do you say that I am?". Peter answered him: "You are the Christ." And he strictly ordered them not to speak about him to anyone. And he began to teach them that the Son of man had to suffer greatly, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the scribes, be killed and, after three days, be resurrected. He made this speech openly. Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But he, turning and looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter and said: «Get behind me, Satan! Because you do not think according to God, but according to men." Having summoned the crowd together with his disciples, he said to them: «If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself, take…

Gospel (Lk 7,1-10) - At that time, Jesus, when he had finished speaking all his words to the people who were listening, entered Capernaum. A centurion's servant was sick and about to die. The centurion held him very dear. Therefore, having heard about Jesus, he sent some elders of the Jews to him to ask him to come and save his servant. When they came to Jesus, they insistently begged him: "He deserves that you grant him what he asks for - they said -, because he loves our people and it was he who built our synagogue". Jesus walked with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent some friends to tell him: «Lord, don't bother yourself! I am not worthy that you should come under my roof; for this reason I myself did not consider myself worthy of coming to you; but say the word and my servant will be healed. In fact, I too am in the condition of a subordinate and I have soldiers under me and I say to one: "Go!", and he goes; and to another: “Come!”, and he comes; and…

Gospel (Lk 7,11-17) - At that time, Jesus went to a city called Nain and his disciples and a large crowd traveled with him.

Seeing her, the Lord had compassion and said to her: "Don't cry!". And as she approached she touched the coffin, while the bearers stopped. Then he said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!” The dead man sat up and began to speak. And he gave it to his mother. They were all filled with fear and glorified God, saying: "A great prophet has arisen among us, and God has visited his people." The fame of these facts spread throughout Judea and throughout the region.

Gospel (Lk 7,31-35) - At that time, the Lord said: «To whom can I compare the people of this generation? Who is it similar to? It is similar to children who, sitting in the square, shout to each other like this: "We played the flute for you and you didn't dance, we sang a lament and you didn't cry!". In fact, John the Baptist came, who does not eat bread and does not drink wine, and you say: "he is possessed by demons". The Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, and you say: "Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!". But Wisdom was recognized as right by all his children."

Gospel (Lk 7,36-50) - At that time, one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him. He entered the Pharisee's house and sat down at the table. And behold, a woman, a sinner from that city, hearing that she was in the house of the Pharisee, brought a jar of perfume; standing behind her, near his feet, crying, she began to wet them with tears, then she dried them with her hair, kissed them and sprinkled them with perfume. Seeing this, the Pharisee who had invited him said to himself: "If this man were a prophet, he would know who he is, and of what kind the woman who touches him is: he is a sinner!". Jesus then said to him: "Simon, I have something to tell you." And he replied: "Say it, master." «A creditor had two debtors: one owed him five hundred denarii, the other fifty. Since they had nothing to repay, he forgave the debt to both of them. So which of them will love him more?" Simone replied: "I suppose he is the one to whom he has forgiven the most." Jesus said to him, "You…

Seeing this, the Pharisees said to his disciples: "How come your teacher eats together with tax collectors and sinners?". Hearing this, he said: «It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. Go and learn what it means: “I want mercy and not sacrifices”. In fact, I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

Gospel (Mk 9,30-37) - At that time, Jesus and his disciples were passing through Galilee, but he did not want anyone to know. In fact, he taught his disciples and said to them: «The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men and they will kill him; but once killed, after three days he will rise again." However, they did not understand these words and were afraid to question him. They arrived in Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them: "What were you arguing about in the street?". And they were silent. In fact, on the street they had argued among themselves who was bigger. Sitting down, he called the Twelve and said to them: "If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all." And taking a child, he placed him among them and, embracing him, said to them: «Whoever welcomes one of these children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me, but the one who sent me."

Gospel (Lk 8,16-18) - At that time, Jesus said to the crowd: «No one lights a lamp and covers it with a vase or puts it under a bed, but places it on a lampstand, so that whoever enters can see the light.

So be careful how you listen; because to him who has, it will be given, but to him who does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away."

Gospel (Lk 8,19-21) - At that time, his mother and brothers went to visit Jesus, but they could not approach him because of the crowd.
