Gospel (Mk 13,33-37) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «Be careful, keep watch, because you don't know when the time is. He is like a man, who has departed after having left his home and given power to his servants, to each of him his task, and ordered the doorkeeper to keep watch. Watch therefore: you do not know when the master of the house will return, whether in the evening or at midnight or at cockcrow or in the morning; Make sure that when he arrives unexpectedly, he doesn't find you asleep. What I say to you, I say to everyone: keep watch!

Gospel (Mt 8.5-11) - At that time, when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to meet him, begging him and saying: "Lord, my servant is at home, in bed, paralyzed and suffering terribly." He said to him, "I will come and heal him." But the centurion replied: «Lord, I am not worthy of you coming under my roof, but just say the word and my servant will be healed. Even though I am also a subordinate, I have soldiers under me and I say to one: «Go! », and he goes; and to another: «Come! », and he comes; and to my servant: «Do this! », and he does it». Listening to him, Jesus was amazed and said to those who followed him: «Truly I tell you, in Israel I have not found anyone with such great faith! Now I tell you that many will come from the east and the west and will sit at table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven."

Gospel (Lk 10,21-24) - At that same moment Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said: «I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, who have hidden these things from the learned and the wise and have revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, because that is how you liked it. Everything has been entrusted 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 what you see. I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it."

Gospel (Mt 15,29-37) - Having left there, Jesus arrived at the Sea of Galilee and, having ascended the mountain, stopped there. A large crowd gathered around him, bringing with them the lame, the crippled, the blind, the deaf and many other sick people; they laid them at his feet, and he healed them. And the crowd was astonished to see the dumb speaking, the crippled straightening, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And he glorified the God of Israel. Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said: «I feel compassion for this crowd: they have been following me for three days now and have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them back fasting, so that they don't faint along the way." And the disciples said to him: "Where in a desert can we find so many loaves of bread to feed such a large crowd?". But Jesus asked: "How many loaves do you have?" They replied: "Seven, and a few little fish." After ordering the crowd to sit on the ground, Jesus took the seven loaves and fish, gave…

Gospel (Mt 7,21.24-27) - At that time, Jesus said: «Not everyone who says to me: 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Therefore whoever hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain fell, the rivers overflowed, the winds blew and beat on that house, and it did not fall, because it was founded on the rock. Whoever hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, the rivers overflowed, the winds blew and beat on that house, and it fell, and its ruin was great."

Gospel (Lk 1,26-38) - At that time, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph of the house of David.

The angel said to her: «Do not be afraid, Mary, because you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive a son, you will give birth to him and you will call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever and his kingdom will have no end."

The angel replied to her: «The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will cover you with his shadow. Therefore he who is to be born will be…

Gospel (Mt 9,35-10,1,6-8) - At that time, Jesus traveled through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, announcing the gospel of the Kingdom and healing every disease and every infirmity. Seeing the crowds, he felt compassion for them, because they were tired and exhausted like sheep that have no shepherd. Then he said to his disciples: «The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few! Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest to send workers into his harvest." Calling his twelve disciples to him, he gave them power over impure spirits to drive them away and heal every disease and every infirmity. And he sent them commanding them: «Turn to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, preach that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, raise the dead, purify the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give."

Gospel (Mk 1,1-8) - Beginning of the gospel of Jesus, Christ, Son of God. As it is written in the prophet Isaiah: «Behold, before you I send my messenger: he will prepare your way. Voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths", there was John, who baptized in the desert and proclaimed a baptism of conversion for the forgiveness of sins. The whole region of Judea and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem flocked to him. And they were baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins. John was dressed in camel hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and ate locusts and wild honey. And he proclaimed: «The one who is stronger than me comes after me: I am not worthy to stoop down to untie the thongs of his sandals. I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

Gospel (Lk 5,17-26) - One day Jesus was teaching. Pharisees and teachers of the Law also sat there, coming from every village of Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord made him perform healings. And behold, some men, carrying a man who was paralyzed onto a bed, tried to bring him in and place him before him. Not finding which way to let him in because of the crowd, they climbed onto the roof and, through the tiles, lowered him and his bed in front of Jesus in the middle of the room. Seeing their faith, he said, "Man, your sins are forgiven." The scribes and Pharisees began to argue, saying: «Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, if not God alone?”. But Jesus, knowing their reasoning, replied: «Why do you think like this in your heart? Which is easier: to say «Your sins are forgiven», or to say «Rise up and walk»? Now, so that you may know that the Son of Man has the power on earth to forgive sins, I say to you - he said to the…

Gospel (Mt 18,12-14) - At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and look for the one that is lost? Truly I say to you: if he succeeds in finding it, he will rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that were not lost. Thus it is the will of your Father who is in heaven, that not one of these little ones should be lost."

Gospel (Mt 11,28-30) - At that time, Jesus said: «Come to me, all you who are tired and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, who am meek and humble of heart, and you will find refreshment for your life. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Gospel (Mt 11,11-15) - At that time, Jesus said to the crowds: «Truly I say to you: among those born of women no one has arisen greater than John the Baptist; but the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

And, if you want to understand, he is the Elijah who is to come. Whoever has ears, listen!

Gospel (Mt 11,16-19) - At that time, Jesus said to the people: «But to whom shall I compare this generation? It is similar to those children sitting in the squares who turn to their other companions and say: "We played the flute for you and you didn't dance, or sang a lament and you didn't cry." John came, who neither eats nor drinks, and they said: "He has a demon." The Son of Man came, eating and drinking, and they said: "Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners." But wisdom was vindicated by his works."

Gospel (Mt 17,10-13) - As they were coming down from the mountain, the disciples asked Jesus: "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" And he replied: «Yes, Elijah will come and she will restore everything. But I tell you: Elijah has already come and they did not recognize him; indeed, they did with him what they wanted. So the Son of Man will also have to suffer at their hands." Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them about John the Baptist.

Gospel (Jn 1,6-8.19-28) - A man sent by God came: his name was John. He came as a witness to bear witness to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but he had to bear witness to the light. This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent him priests from Jerusalem and stood up to ask him: "Who are you?". He confessed and did not deny. He confessed: "I am not the Christ." Then they asked him: «Who are you, then? Are you Elijah?". “I'm not,” he said. «Are you the prophet?». “No,” he replied. They then said to him: «Who are you? So that we can give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself? He replied: "I am the voice of one crying in the desert: Make the way of the Lord straight, as the prophet Isaiah said." Those who were sent were from the Pharisees. They questioned him and said to him: "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?". John answered them: «I baptize with water. Among…

Gospel (Mt 1,18-24) - Thus Jesus Christ was born: his mother Mary, being betrothed to Joseph, before they went to live together, found herself pregnant with her by the work of the Holy Spirit. Joseph, her husband, since he was a just man and did not want to accuse her publicly, thought of repudiating her in secret. However, while he was considering these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said to him: «Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary, your wife, with you. In fact the child that is generated in her comes from the Holy Spirit; she will give birth to a son and you will call him Jesus: in fact he will save his people from his sins." All this happened so that what had been said by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled: "Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son: he will be called Emmanuel", which means "God with us". When he awoke from sleep, Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had ordered him and took his bride…

Gospel (Lk 1,5-25) - At the time of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the class of Abijah, who had as his wife a descendant of Aaron, named Elizabeth. Both were righteous before God and impeccably observed all the laws and prescriptions of the Lord. They had no children, because Elizabeth was sterile and both were advanced in years. It happened that, while Zechariah was carrying out his priestly functions before the Lord during his class shift, it fell to his lot, according to the custom of priestly service, to enter the temple of the Lord to make the offering of incense. Outside, the whole assembly of the people was praying at the time of incense. An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense. When he saw him, Zechariah was troubled and fearful. But the angel said to him: «Do not be afraid, Zechariah, your prayer has been answered and your wife Elizabeth will give you a son, and you will call him John. You will have joy…

Behold, as soon as your greeting reached my ears, the child leaped for joy in my womb. And blessed is she who believed in the fulfillment of what the Lord told her."

Gospel (Lk 1,46-56) - At that time, Mary said: «My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God, my savior, because he looked at the humility of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed. The Almighty has done great things for me and Holy is his name; his mercy to those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown the power of his arm, he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; he has overthrown the mighty from their thrones, he has exalted the humble; he has filled the hungry with good things, he has sent the rich away empty-handed. He helped Israel, he was his servant, remembering his mercy, as he had said to our fathers, for Abraham and his descendants forever."

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. Instantly his mouth was opened and his tongue was loosened, and he 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.

Gospel (Lk 2,1-14) - In those days a decree from Caesar Augustus ordered that a census be taken of the whole land. This first census was taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria. Everyone went to be registered, each in their own city. Joseph also, from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, went up to Judea to the city of David called Bethlehem: he in fact belonged to the house and family of David. He had to be registered together with Maria, his wife, who was pregnant. While they were in that place, the days of her giving birth came to pass. She gave birth to her firstborn son, wrapped him in swaddling clothes and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the lodging. There were some shepherds in that region who, staying in the open air, kept watch all night guarding their flock.

But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you will say, because in that hour what you must say will be given to you: in fact it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you. Brother will kill brother and father will kill son, and children will rise up and accuse their parents and kill them. You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But whoever perseveres to the end will be saved."
