Monday, September 25 : Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew 22,34-46.

At that time the Pharisees came to Jesus,
And one of them, a doctor of the law, asked him, tempting him:
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind.
This is the greatest and the first commandment.
And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.
And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them,
Saying: What think you of Christ? Whose son is he? They say to him: David’s.
He saith to them: How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying:
The Lord said to my Lord: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
And no man was able to answer him a word: neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
