TODAY’S READINGS

First Reading — Conduct your affairs with humility (Sirach 3:17-18, 20, 28-29). Psalm — God, in your goodness, you have made a home for the poor (Psalm 68). Second Reading — You have approached the city of the living God (Hebrews 12:18-19, 22-24a). Gospel — Those who humble themselves will be ex-alted (Luke 14:1, 7-14).

READINGS FOR THE WEEK

Monday: 1 Thes 4:13-18; Ps 96:1, 3-5, 11-13; Lk 4:16-30 Tuesday: 1 Thes 5:1-6, 9-11; Ps 27:1, 4, 13-14; Lk 4:31-37 Wednesday: Col 1:1-8; Ps 52:10-11; Lk 4:38-44 Thursday: Col 1:9-14; Ps 98:2-6; Lk 5:1-11 Friday: Col 1:15-20; Ps 100:1b-5; Lk 5:33-39 Saturday: Col 1:21-23; Ps 54:3-4, 6, 8; Lk 6:1-5 Sunday: Wis 9:13-18b; Ps 90:3-6, 12-17; Phlm 9-10, 12-17; Lk 14:25-33

HUMILITY

Today’s reading from Sirach celebrates what will be-come the theme of today’s Gospel: humility. Pride causes us to demand from others an exalted estimate of our status, but humility allows us to see things more clearly. It allows us a broader perspective. Hu-mility promises us the favor of God and the love of those who know us.

The second reading is a study in contrasts: the giving of the Law on Mount Sinai and the giving of salvation on Mount Zion. The Law’s appearance is greeted with solemnity, mystery, even fear. But Christians are not to be afraid. Coming to God’s mountain with Jesus, “the mediator of a new covenant,” is a happy, exuber-ant experience.

The parable in today’s Gospel concerns the danger of pride and the necessity of humility. The banquet set-ting, often used by Jesus, is a symbol of heaven’s abundance and of the fulfillment of God’s promise. The parable is not simply good advice on how to avoid embarrassment; it is about salvation. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Prayer for Students and Teachers

Lord our God, your Spirit of wisdom fills the earth and teaches us your ways.

You gave each of us a Guardian Angel to guide, protect, and enlighten us, and to bring us back to you

when we go astray.

Look kindly upon all students returning to school. Let them enjoy their learning and take delight in new dis-

coveries. Help them persevere in their studies and give the the desire to learn all things well.

Look kindly upon their teachers. May they strive to share their knowledge with gentle patience; and

endeavor always to bring the truth to eager minds.

Send your Holy Spirit upon all students and their teachers and fill them with your wisdom and blessings. May they always follow Jesus Christ, the way, the truth

and the life.

Grant this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
