Thirtieth Sunday in
Ordinary Time Sirach 35:12-14, 16-18
Psalm 34
2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18
Luke 18:9-14
Introduction to the Liturgy of the Word
It is the prayers of the needy that scripture tells us God
hears. Sirach mentions the widow and the orphan, the
lowly and the oppressed. Jesus tells of the tax collec-
tor, acknowledging his sinfulness and his need for
God’s mercy. The Lord hears the cry of the poor, we
sing in the psalm. Let us look inside ourselves and rec-
ognize our needfulness, our humanness, our poverty.
What prayer do we need to make to God today?

Salmo 34
2 Timoteo 4:6-8, 16-18
Lucas 18:9-14
Introducción a la Liturgia de la Palabra
Las Sagradas Escrituras nos dicen que es la oración del
necesitado la que Dios escucha. El libro del Sirácide
menciona a la viuda y al huérfano, al humilde y al
oprimido. Jesús habla del publicano que reconoce su
pecado y su necesidad de la misericordia de Dios. El
Señor no está lejos de sus fieles, cantamos en el salmo.
Mirémonos interiormente y reconozcamos nuestra ne-
cesidad, nuestra humanidad y nuestra pobreza. ¿Cuál
es la oración que debo elevar a Dios hoy?
