First Reading: Ezekiel 43:1-7AB Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 85:9AB AND 10, 11-12, 13-14 Alleluia: Matthew 23:9B, 10B Gospel: Matthew 23:1-12 We may not notice it but when we are given positions of influence, when we have reached a certain level of success, wealth and stature, we begin to have that sense of entitlement that makes us ascribe to the attitude of being “holier-than-thou.” This is the 865th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings. [NOTE: All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives.
