This weekend we celebrate the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C. The readings for today emphasize the Lord's disdain for those who are smug and complacent in their wealth while also showing His compassion and mercy toward the poor.
The psalm for today is from chapter 146:
"Praise the Lord, my soul!"
A reminder of God's desire to comfort and lift up the poor is found in the communion antiphon for today. Taken from Psalm chapter 119 verses 49 and 50, it says:
"Remember your word to your servant, O Lord,
by which you have given me hope.
This is my comfort when I am brought low."
