The Church Year is now within the Season of the Sundays After Pentecost 

The season is represented by the colour green which symbolises hope.  It is the longest season of the Church's year and its readings often concern Jesus's works and actions.  An interesting discussion about this season can be found here   During Ordinary time and after Holy Mass we also sing the Salve Regina,  one of the four main liturgical anthems to Our lady. This will continue up to Advent.  

Depending upon the timing of Easter and Advent,  the season after Pentecost can have as few as 23 weeks an as many as 28. 

Below is a useful summary of the Season After Pentecost 

"In order to give solidity and permanence to the image of Christ formed within us, it was necessary that the Holy Ghost should come, that so He might increase our light, and enkindle a fire within us that should never be quenched. The liturgy of this Season after Pentecost signifies and expresses this regenerated life, which is to be spent on the model of Christ's, and under the direction of His Spirit".

Taken from The Liturgical Year by Abbot Gueranger

This particular Sunday,  we hear about the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.  A traditional commentary on this Gospel Reading can be heard here.
