wisdom literature. In the reading for today, the writer of the book warns against the sin of
pride, proclaiming that God will utterly overthrow the proud.
Second Reading: Hebrews 13:1-8, 15-16
The conclusion of the letter to the Hebrews contains suggestions for the conduct of a holy
life, all of which are shaped by God’s love toward us in Jesus Christ.
Gospel: Luke 141, 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 mimic God’s gracious hospitality to the poor and the broken.
