Theme: The prayer of the lowly pierces the clouds
1st Reading
Sirach, Chapter 35: 12-14, 16-18
Scripture says that God treats all of us equally and fairly,
but he pays particular attention to the needs of the deprived and downtrodden.
2nd Reading:
2 Timothy, Chapter 4: 6-8, 16-18
This event in the life of St Paul teaches us that when we are
lonely or feel rejected, we should not be dejected. We should find strength in
prayer.
Gospel Reading: Luke, Chapter
18: 9-14
Jesus condemns the self-righteousness of the Pharisee. The
lesson for us is that he whose prayer is acceptable to God, is the one who
approaches the Most High in humility.
