17th SUNDAY OF THE YEAR
Our Father in Heaven
Christ has given us in very truth the power to become the children of God. Compare the timidity and self-abnegation of Abraham’s prayer with the confidence with which Christ teaches us to pray to our Father in heaven.
1st Reading: Genesis 18:20-32 2nd Reading: Colossians 2:12-24 Gospel Luke 11:1-13
