Readings for Sunday, August 31st --
  • Sirach 3:17-29 -- The book of Sirach, like the book of Proverbs, is part of a collection of writings known as wisdom literature. The writer is warning against the sin of pride, proclaiming that God will utterly overthrow the proud.
  • Psalm 68:4-10 -- ...your flock found a dwelling in it; in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy. (Ps. 68:10)
  • Hebrews 12:18-24a -- 
  • Luke 14:1, 7-14 -- Jesus observes guests jockeying for position at the table. He uses the opportunity to teach his hearers to choose humility rather than self-exaltation. Jesus also makes an appeal for hosts to imitate God's gracious hospitality to those in need.
