Loving Father, 

As we prepare for Catholic Education Week, help us reflect on this week’s Gospel and remember that faith is not just something we show on the outside, but something we live through our words, actions, and choices. May we never simply look like a Catholic school, but truly be one by showing compassion, welcoming others, serving those in need, and sharing Your love each day. 

As we celebrate Catholic education, encourage us to attend Catholic Education Sunday this weekend and give thanks for the gift of faith in our schools and communities. 

May we be rooted in joy, grounded in faith, and committed to living the Gospel in all that we do. 

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Luke 11.37-41 of Tuesday October 13, 2026 

While Jesus was speaking to the crowds, a Pharisee invited him to dine with him; so Jesus went in and took his place at the table. 
 
The Pharisee was amazed to see that he did not first wash before dinner. Then the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. You fools! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? So give for alms those things that are within; and see, everything will be clean for you.
