Gospel (Lk 2,16-21) - At that time, they went without delay and found Mary and Joseph and the child lying in the manger. And when they had seen him, they reported what they had been told about the child. All those who heard were amazed at the things the shepherds told them. Mary, for her part, kept all these things, meditating on them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, as they had been told. When the eight days prescribed for circumcision were completed, he was given the name Jesus, as he had been called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

Gospel (Jn 1,19-28) - 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 Elia?». “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 you stands one whom you do not know, the one who comes after me: I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandal." This happened in Bethany, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Gospel (Jn 1,29-34) - At that time, John, seeing Jesus coming towards him, said: «Behold the Lamb of God, he who takes away the sin of the world! He is the one of whom I said: "After me comes a man who is ahead of me, because he was before me." I did not know him, but I came to baptize with water, so that he might be revealed to Israel." John testified, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and remaining upon him. I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me: "He on whom you will see the Spirit descend and remain, it is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit." And I saw and testified that this is the Son of God."

Gospel (Jn 1,35-42) - At that time, John was with two of his disciples and, fixing his gaze on Jesus as he passed by, said: "Behold the lamb of God!".

They answered him: «Rabbi (which means teacher), where do you live?». He said to them, “Come and see.” So they went and saw where he lived, and they stayed with him that day; it was around four in the afternoon. One of the two who had heard John's words and followed him was Andrew, brother of Simon Peter. He met his brother Simon first, and said to him: «We have found the Messiah (which means the Christ)» and led him to Jesus. Jesus, fixing his gaze on him, said: «You are Simon, the son of John ; you will be called Cephas (which means Peter)".

Gospel (Jn 1,43-51) - At that time, Jesus had decided to leave for Galilee; he met Philip and said to him: "Follow me". Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip met Nathanael and said to him: "We have found him about whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote, Jesus, son of Joseph of Nazareth." Nathanael exclaimed; «Can anything good ever come from Nazareth?». Philip answered him: "Come and see." Meanwhile, Jesus, seeing Nathanael coming towards him, said of him: "Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no falsehood." Nathanael asked him: "How do you know me?". Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, I saw you when you were under the fig tree." Nathanael replied to him: "Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are the king of Israel!". Jesus answered him: «Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you think? You will see greater things than these! Then he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened and the…

Gospel (Mt 2,1-12) - Born Jesus in Bethlehem of Judea, in the time of King Herod, behold, some Magi came from the east to Jerusalem and said: «Where is he who has been born, the king of the Jews? We saw his star rising and we came to worship him." When King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and with him all Jerusalem. Having gathered all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired from them about the place where Christ was to be born. They answered him, “In Bethlehem in Judea, for thus it is written through the prophet: “And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means the least of the chief cities of Judah: for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people, Israel." Then Herod, having secretly called the Magi, had them tell him the exact time in which the star had appeared and sent them to Bethlehem saying: «Go and find out carefully about the child and, when you have found him, let me know, because also 'I come to worship him."…

Gospel (Mk 1,7-11) - At that time, John proclaimed: «The one who is stronger than me comes after me: I am not worthy to bend down to untie the laces of his sandals. I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." And behold, in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. And immediately, coming out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending towards him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: "You are my beloved Son: I am well pleased with you."

Gospel (Mk 1,14-20) - After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee preaching the gospel of God and saying: «The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is near; convert and believe in the gospel." Passing along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting their nets into the sea; they were in fact fishermen. Jesus said to them: "Follow me, I will make you become fishers of men." And immediately, leaving their nets, they followed him. Going a little further, he also saw James of Zebedee and his brother John on the boat while they were mending the nets. He called them. And they, leaving their father Zebedee on the boat with the boys, followed him.

Gospel (Mk 1,21-28) - At that time, in the city of Capernaum, Jesus, having entered the synagogue on a Saturday, began to teach. And they were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who has authority and not as the scribes. Then a man who was in the synagogue, possessed by an unclean spirit, began to shout: “What have you got to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? You have come to ruin us! I know who you are: the saint of God." And Jesus rebuked him: “Shut up! Get out of that man." And the unclean spirit, tearing him apart and crying out loudly, came out of him. Everyone was filled with fear, so much so that they asked each other: “What is this? A new doctrine taught with authority. He even commands unclean spirits and they obey him!”. His fame immediately spread everywhere around Galilee.

Gospel (Mk 1,29-39) - At that time, Jesus left the synagogue and immediately went to the house of Simon and Andrew, in the company of James and John. Simone's mother-in-law was in bed with her fever and they immediately told him about her. He, approaching her, lifted her up, taking her by the hand; the fever left her and she began to serve them. When evening came, after the sun set, they brought him all the sick and possessed. The whole city was gathered in front of the door. He healed many who were afflicted with various diseases and cast out many demons; but he did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew him. In the morning he got up while it was still dark and, leaving the house, he withdrew to a deserted place and prayed there. But Simon and those who were with him set out on his trail and, having found him, they said to him: "Everyone is looking for you!". He said to them: “Let us go elsewhere to the nearby villages, so that I can preach there too; for this in fact I…

Gospel (Mk 1,40-45) - At that time, a leper came to Jesus: he begged him on his knees and said: "If you want, you can heal me!". Moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, touched him and said: "I want it, get well!". Immediately the leprosy disappeared and he was healed. And, admonishing him severely, he sent him away and said to him: "Be careful not to say anything to anyone, but go, present yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification what Moses commanded, as a testimony for them." But he, having moved away, began to proclaim and spread the fact, to the point that Jesus could no longer enter a city publicly, but stayed outside, in deserted places, and they came to him from everywhere.

Gospel (Mk 2,1-12) - After a few days Jesus entered Capernaum again. It became known that he was in the house and so many people gathered that there was no longer room even in front of the door, and he announced the word to them. They came to him with a paralytic carried by four people. However, since they were unable to bring it to him due to the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was and, having made an opening, lowered the bed on which the paralytic was lying. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic: "Son, your sins are forgiven." There were some scribes sitting there who were thinking in their hearts: «Why does this man speak like this? Blasphemy! Who can forgive sins if not God alone?”. But Jesus, having immediately known in his spirit that they thought thus within themselves, said to them: «Why do you think thus in your hearts? Which is easier: to say to the paralytic: Your sins are forgiven, or to say: Get up, pick up your mat and walk? Now, so that you may…

Gospel (Mk 2,13-17) - At that time, Jesus went out again along the sea; the whole crowd came to him and he taught them. As he passed, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax counter, and said to him: "Follow me". He got up and followed him. While Jesus was at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners sat at table together with Jesus and his disciples; in fact there were many who followed him. Then the scribes of the sect of the Pharisees, seeing him eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples: "Why does he eat and drink in the company of tax collectors and sinners?" Having heard this, Jesus said to them: «It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick; I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

Gospel (Jn 1,35-42) - At that time John was with two of his disciples and, fixing his gaze on Jesus as he passed by, said: "Behold the lamb of God!". And his two disciples, hearing him speak thus, followed Jesus. Jesus then turned and, observing that they were following him, said to them: "What are you looking for?". They answered him: "Rabbi - which, translated, means teacher - where do you live?". He said to them, “Come and see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day; it was around four in the afternoon. One of the two who had heard John's words and followed him was Andrew, brother of Simon Peter. He met his brother Simon first and said to him: «We have found the Messiah» – which translates as Christ – and led him to Jesus. Fixing his gaze on him, Jesus said: «You are Simon, the son of John; you will be called Cephas" – which means Peter.

Gospel (Mk 2,18-22) - At that time, John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. They came to Jesus and said to him: "Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?". Jesus said to them: «Can the wedding guests fast when the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the groom with them, they cannot fast. But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them: then in that day they will fast. »No one sews a piece of raw fabric onto an old dress; otherwise the new patch takes something away from the old fabric and the tear becomes worse. And no one pours new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the wine will burst the wineskins, and the wine and wineskins are lost. But new wine in new wineskins!

Gospel (Mk 2,23-28) - At that time, on the Sabbath, Jesus was passing through fields of wheat and his disciples, as they walked, began to pick the ears of corn. The Pharisees said to him: «Look! Why do they do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?". And he answered them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions were hungry? Under the high priest Abiathar, he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the offering, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and he also gave some to his companions! And he said to them: «The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath! Therefore the Son of Man is also lord of the Sabbath."

Gospel (Mk 3,1-6) - At that time, Jesus entered the synagogue again. There was a man there who had a paralyzed hand, and they were going to see if he would heal it on the Sabbath, to accuse him. He said to the man who had a paralyzed hand: "Get up, come among us!". Then he asked them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save a life or to kill it?" But they were silent. And looking around at them with indignation, saddened by the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man: "Stretch out your hand!". He held it out and his hand was healed. And the Pharisees immediately went out with the Herodians and held counsel against him to put him to death.

Gospel (Mk 3,7-12) - At that time, Jesus with his disciples retreated to the sea and a large crowd from Galilee followed him. From Judea and Jerusalem, from Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from the parts of Tire and Sidon, a large crowd, hearing what he was doing, came to him. Then he told his disciples to keep a boat ready for him, because of the crowd, so that they would not crush him. In fact he had healed many, so that those who had some ailment threw themselves on him to touch him. The impure spirits, when they saw him, fell at his feet and shouted: "You are the Son of God!". But he strictly ordered them not to reveal who he was.

Gospel (Mk 3,13-19) - At that time, Jesus went up the mountain, called to him those he wanted and they came to him. He appointed Twelve of them - whom he called apostles - to be with him and to send them to preach with the power to drive out demons. He therefore constituted the Twelve: Simon, to whom he gave the name of Peter, then James, son of Zebedee, and John, brother of James, to whom he gave the name of Boanèrghes, that is, "sons of thunder"; and Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James, son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who then betrayed him.

Gospel (Mk 3,20-21) - 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".

Gospel (Mk 1,14-20) - After John was arrested, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and said: «The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; convert and believe in the Gospel." Passing along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting their nets into the sea; they were in fact fishermen. Jesus said to them: "Come after me, I will make you become fishers of men." And immediately they left their nets and followed him. Going a little further, he saw Giacomo, son of Zebedèo, and Giovanni his brother, while they were also repairing the nets in the boat. And immediately he called them. And they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the boys and went after him.

Gospel (Mk 3,22-30) - At that time, 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 forever: he will be guilty of eternal guilt." For they said, "He is possessed by an unclean spirit."

Gospel (Mk 3,31-35) - At that time, the mother of Jesus and her brothers arrived and, standing outside, sent for him. A crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers and your sisters are outside looking for you.” But he answered them, "Who is my mother and who are my brothers?" Looking at those who were sitting around him, he said: «Here are my mother and my brothers! Because whoever does the will of God is brother, sister and mother to me."

Gospel (Mk 4,1-20) - At that time, Jesus began to teach along the sea again. An enormous crowd gathered around him, so much so that he got into a boat and sat down in the sea, while the whole crowd was on land along the shore. He taught them many things in parables and said to them in his teaching: «Listen. Behold, the sower went out to sow. While he sowed, some fell along the road; the birds came and ate it. Another part fell on the stony ground, where there was not much soil; and immediately it sprouted because the soil was not deep, but when the sun rose, it was burned and, having no roots, withered. Another part fell among the brambles, and the brambles grew, suffocated it and it did not bear fruit. Other parts fell on good soil and bore fruit: they sprang up, grew and yielded thirty, sixty, a hundredfold." And he said: «Whoever has ears to hear, listen!». Then when they were alone, those who were around him together with the Twelve questioned him about the parables. And he said…
