Thirtieth Sunday In Ordinary Time 3
Family ConnecAon
In the family, one some%mes observes a level of
compe%%on between children for parent aIen%on,
for acknowledgement of their abili%es. Somehow,
children seem to internalize that the aIen%on given
to one member of the family diminishes the aIen-
%on given to another. In this way, children can o5en
sound like the Pharisee in Jesus' parable. Parents
who provide con%nual reminders to their children
that they are loved for who they are, not for what
they do, help children develop a healthy spirituality.
As a family, talk about what it means to compare
oneself to another. Discuss whether it is helpful to
compare oneself to another. In what ways might this
be posi%ve? (when it mo%vates one to use one's tal-
ents) In what circumstances might this be unhelpful?
(when it proves discouraging, when it prevents one
from valuing the abili%es of another)
As a family, read today's Gospel, Luke 18:9-14. Dis-
cuss: What was wrong about the prayer of the Phari-
see? How can we emulate the prayer of the tax col-
lector?
Pray together as a family in thanksgiving for the
blessing that is each member of your family. Pray
that your family will be free from unhealthy compe%-
%on. Pray in thanksgiving that God's love for us is
uncondi%onal.
First Reading
Sirach 35:12-14,16-18
God hears the prayer of the poor.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 34:2-3,17-18,19, 23
The Lord hears and answers the cry of the poor.
Second Reading
2 Timothy 4:6-8,16-18
Paul perseveres in faith, confident that God will res-
cue him.
Gospel Reading
Luke 18:9-14
Jesus tells the parable of the proud Pharisee who
prayed from his self-importance and the tax collec-
tor who prayed humbly.
Background on the Gospel Reading
The second parable that Jesus tells in Luke 18 ad-
dresses aStude in prayer. In contras%ng the prayer
of the Pharisee with the prayer of the tax collector,
Jesus teaches his disciples to pray in humility before
God. Jesus again surprises his listeners by showing
the tax collector as the example of faith, rather than
the Pharisee. Remember that Pharisees were mem-
bers of a sect of Judaism ac%ve in Jesus' %me. They
taught an oral interpreta%on of the Law of Moses as
the basis for Jewish piety. If anyone would be a mod-
el for prayer, a Pharisee was a likely candidate. In
contrast, Jesus offers the tax collector as a model for
prayer. Tax collectors were collaborators with the
Roman authori%es in a system that allowed the tax
collectors to line their own pockets by charging in
excess of the defined taxes. Yet, in this parable, Je-
sus offers the humility of the tax collector as a model
for the prayer of a disciple. The parable reminds us
that when we pray, we must remember our need for
God in our lives. If we are too full of ourselves, there
is too liIle room for God's grace to work in us. CollecAon for the Weekend: of Oct. 19 & 20
