Thursday, July 25 : Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew 20,20-23.
The mother of the sons of Zebedee came with her sons, adoring and asking something of Jesus.
Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.
And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can.
He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.
