The Gospel today relates a parable of the Tax Collector and the Pharisee. The Pharisee's prayer is very self centered, grandiose, and prideful - whereas the Tax Collector's prayer is simple and humble.
There is an element of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector in each of us. Each of us is on a pilgrimage from Pride to Humility.
We ask the Lord, even in difficult times, to be our shield, our strength, and accompany us on this pilgrimage - as the Lord's own people.
Peace
