August 31st : First reading
Behave humbly, and you will find favour with the Lord
A reading from the book of Ecclesiasticus 3: 17-18, 20, 28-29
My son, perform your tasks in meekness; then you will be loved by those whom God accepts. The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself; so you will find favor in the sight of the Lord. Seek not what is too difficult for you, nor investigate what is beyond your power. The mind of the intelligent man will ponder a parable, and an attentive ear is the wise man’s desire. Water extinguishes a blazing fire: so almsgiving atones for sin.
The Word of the Lord.
