Stewardship in His Name…. Both the first reading and today’s psalm say clearly that the

Lord hears the cry of the poor. Have I been given the gifts —

of time or money or abilities — to be the means by which God

answers their need?

Background on the Gospel Reading

Luke 18:9-14 The second parable that Jesus tells in Luke 18 addresses attitude in prayer. In contrasting 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 members of a sect of Judaism active in Jesus'

time. They taught an oral interpretation of the Law of Moses as the basis for Jewish piety. If anyone

would be a model 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 authorities 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, Jesus 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 little room for God's grace to work in us.
