Humble Faith

Choosing Faith

Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost, Year C

How shall we pray? This isn’t the text where that question appears. But it does seem to be behind the parable that Jesus tells.

Humble and merciful God, you do not require perfection, only a heart that is open. Receive these gifts, not as a sign of our righteousness, but as a humble offering from those who know they need your grace. Teach us again that generosity begins not in pride, but in gratitude—not in proving our worth, but in trusting yours. May what we give today grow into mercy, justice, and joy in the lives of others and in our own. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen. (Luke 18:9-14)
