Scripture Readings
- First Reading: Sirach 35:12-14, 16-18
- Second Reading: 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18
- Gospel: Luke 18:9-14.
Reflection:
These readings focus on themes such as:
- God's Justice: God hears the cry of the oppressed and shows no favoritism.
- Humility: The tax collector's humility and recognition of his sinfulness earn him justification, while the Pharisee's self-righteousness does not.
- Perseverance: The importance of persistent prayer and trust in God's mercy.
