Holy Gospel, prayer of March 17

Today's Gospel
From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to John 7,40: 53-XNUMX.
At that time, when hearing the words of Jesus, some of the people said: "This is truly the prophet!".
Others said: "This is the Christ!" Others said, "Did Christ come from Galilee?
Does not Scripture say that Christ will come from the lineage of David and from Bethlehem, the village of David? ».
And dissent arose among the people about him.
Some of them wanted to arrest him, but nobody put his hands on him.
The guards then returned to the high priests and the Pharisees and they said to them, "Why didn't you lead him?"
The guards replied: "Never has a man spoken the way this man speaks!"
But the Pharisees replied to them: "Perhaps you too have been deceived?
Maybe some of the leaders, or among the Pharisees, believed him?
But these people, who do not know the Law, are cursed! ».
Then Nicodemus, one of them, who had previously come to Jesus said:
"Does our law judge a man before he has listened to him and knows what he is doing?"
They said to him, "Are you also from Galilee?" Study and you will see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee ».
And they each went back to his home.

Saint of today - SAINT PATRICK
I, Patrizio, go on my way, supported by the strength of God.
The power of God protects me, the wisdom of God guides me,
The eye of God shows me the way, the ear of God is witness of my words.
God's words be on my lips, God's hand support me,
the way to God opens before me, the shield of God defend me
God's invisible army save me from the snares of the devil,
from the defects that imprison me, from all those who want to deceive me.
During my journey, short or long, alone or accompanied by many,
Christ protect me on my way,
so that an abundant harvest is the fruit of my mission.
Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ below and above me, Christ inside and beside me,
Christ around me everywhere, Christ with me morning and evening.
Christ in the heart of those who think of me, Christ on the lips of those who speak of me,
Christ in the gaze of those who look at me, Christ in the ears of those who listen to me.
