Reading 1 Sir 3:17-18, 20, 28-29<\/a><\/h4>\n
\n My child, conduct your affairs with humility,
\u00a0and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts.
\u00a0Humble yourself the more, the greater you are,
\u00a0and you will find favor with God.
\u00a0What is too sublime for you, seek not,
\u00a0into things beyond your strength search not.
\u00a0The mind of a sage appreciates proverbs,
\u00a0and an attentive ear is the joy of the wise.
\u00a0Water quenches a flaming fire,
\u00a0and alms atone for sins.<\/div>\n

Responsorial Psalm Ps 68:4-5, 6-7, 10-11<\/a><\/h4>\n
\n R. (cf. 11b)\u00a0 God, in your goodness, you have made a home for the poor.<\/strong>
The just rejoice and exult before God;
they are glad and rejoice.
Sing to God, chant praise to his name;
whose name is the LORD.
R. God, in your goodness, you have made a home for the poor.<\/strong>
The father of orphans and the defender of widows
is God in his holy dwelling.
God gives a home to the forsaken;
he leads forth prisoners to prosperity.
R. God, in your goodness, you have made a home for the poor.<\/strong>
A bountiful rain you showered down, O God, upon your inheritance;
you restored the land when it languished;
your flock settled in it;
in your goodness, O God, you provided it for the needy.
R. God, in your goodness, you have made a home for the poor.<\/strong><\/div>\n

Reading 2 Heb 12:18-19, 22-24a<\/a><\/h4>\n
\n Brothers and sisters:
You have not approached that which could be touched
and a blazing fire and gloomy darkness
and storm and a trumpet blast
and a voice speaking words such that those who heard
begged that no message be further addressed to them.
No, you have approached Mount Zion
and the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,
and countless angels in festal gathering,
and the assembly of the firstborn enrolled in heaven,
and God the judge of all,
and the spirits of the just made perfect,
and Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant,
and the sprinkled blood that speaks more eloquently than that of Abel.<\/div>\n

Alleluia Mt 11:29ab<\/a><\/h4>\n
\n R. Alleluia, alleluia.<\/strong>
Take my yoke upon you, says the Lord,
and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.<\/strong><\/div>\n

Gospel Lk 14:1, 7-14<\/a><\/h4>\n
\n On a sabbath Jesus went to dine
at the home of one of the leading Pharisees,
and the people there were observing him carefully.<\/p>\n

He told a parable to those who had been invited,
noticing how they were choosing the places of honor at the table.
“When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet,
do not recline at table in the place of honor.
A more distinguished guest than you may have been invited by him,
and the host who invited both of you may approach you and say,
‘Give your place to this man,’
and then you would proceed with embarrassment
to take the lowest place.
Rather, when you are invited,
go and take the lowest place
so that when the host comes to you he may say,
‘My friend, move up to a higher position.’
Then you will enjoy the esteem of your companions at the table.
For every one who exalts himself will be humbled,
but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Then he said to the host who invited him,
“When you hold a lunch or a dinner,
do not invite your friends or your brothers
or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors,
in case they may invite you back and you have repayment.
Rather, when you hold a banquet,
invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you.
For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”<\/div>\n
