Gospel : Luke 18:9-14
9
He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
10
"Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
11
The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: 'God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12
I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.'
13
But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn't even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!'
14
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Sirach 35:12-14, 16-18＊
12
Give to the Most High as he has given to you,
generously, according to your means.
13
For he is a God who always repays
and will give back to you sevenfold.
14
But offer no bribes; these he does not accept!
16
He shows no partiality to the weak
but hears the grievance of the oppressed.
17
He does not forsake the cry of the orphan,
nor the widow when she pours out her complaint.
18
Do not the tears that stream down her cheek

2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18
6
For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
7
I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
8
From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
16
At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.
17
But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18
And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
