Gospel Reflection
The kingdom of God is like yeast:
a woman takes it and mixes it with flour until the dough is risen.
The kingdom of God is like a buyer looking for fine pearls.
When he finds one exceptional pearl,
he sells everything he has, and buys it.
Listen to Jesus who proclaims good news,
which he alone fulfills.
Gospel Reading - A lesson on purity
37-38As he was speaking, one of the Pharisees asked him home for a meal. When Jesus arrived, he sat down to eat without first performing the ceremonial washing required by Jewish custom. This greatly surprised his host.
39Then Jesus said to him, “You Pharisees wash the outside, but inside you are still dirty — full of greed and wickedness! 40Fools! Didn’t God make the inside as well as the outside? 41Purity is best demonstrated by generosity.
. . . . .Luke 11:37-41The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.
