Br. Ben Keller, O.P. preaches during Vespers on Sirach 35:12-14, 16-18, 13-14 for the Thirtieth Sunday of Ordinary Time.  God is a God of justice who knows no favorites. Br. Ben invites us all to ask, "Who do I look down upon? Who do I make myself better than?" And he reminds us that just as Jesus laid down his life for us, so He laid down his life for them. 

 "The prayer of the lowly pierces the clouds..."
