Twenty-second Sunday in
Ordinary Time
Sirach 3:17-18, 20, 28-29
Psalm 68
Hebrews 12:18-19, 22-24a
Luke 14:1, 7-14
Introduction to the Liturgy of the Word
True humility requires that we acknowledge our weak-
nesses, our imperfections, our humanness. We are not
more important than our neighbor. Sirach offers this as
a lesson to guide the listener. Jesus tries to teach this to
the Pharisees in the Gospel we hear today. Humility
begets generosity, as it recognizes the value in our
neighbor, especially those who are put down. True
generosity is shown when giving to those who cannot
repay.

Eclesiástico 3:19-21, 30-31
Salmo 68
Hebreos 12:18-19, 22-24a
Lucas 14:1, 7-14
Introducción a la Liturgia de la Palabra
La verdadera humildad require que reconozcamos
nuestras debilidades, nuestras imperfecciones y nuestra
humanidad. No somos más importantes que nuestro
prójimo. El libro del Sirácide nos dice eso como una
lección que guíe al oyente. Jesús trata de enseñarles
eso a los fariseos en el Evangelio que escuchamos hoy.
La humildad engendra generosidad, pues reconoce el
valor de nuestro prójimo, sobre todo del menospre-
ciado. La verdadera generosidad se demuestra cuando
le damos a aquellas personas que no nos pueden re-
tribuir.
