Reading

Timothy 1: 1- 2, 12- 14

1:1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the authority of God our Savior and Christ Jesus our hope,
1:2 to Timothy, beloved son in the faith. Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
1:12 I give thanks to him who has strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he has considered me faithful, placing me in the ministry,
1:13 though previously I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and contemptuous. But then I obtained the mercy of God. For I had been acting ignorantly, in unbelief.
1:14 And so the grace of our Lord has abounded greatly, with the faith and love that is in Christ Jesus.

Gospel

Luke 6: 39- 42

6:39 Now he told them another comparison: “How can the blind lead the blind? Would they not both fall into a pit?
6:40 The disciple is not above his teacher. But each one will be perfected, if he is like his teacher.
6:41 And why do you see the straw that is in your brother’s eye, while the log that is in your own eye, you do not consider?
6:42 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, allow me to remove the straw from your eye,’ while you yourself do not see the log in your own eye? Hypocrite, first remove the log from your own eye, and then will you see clearly, so that you may lead out the straw from your brother’s eye.
