#TheWordExposed #CardinalTagle #30thSundayinOrdinaryTime

We are on the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time; and in today’s Gospel, Jesus shows through two people praying, two attitudes towards justice before God.

The Pharisee thanks God because he is not “greedy, dishonest, adulterous” like “the rest of humanity”. The tax collector stayed at the back of the temple, beating his breast, praying: “O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.”

Unlike the Pharisee who exalts himself by looking down on others, the tax collector focuses on himself. He knows and admits that he needs God’s mercy. Jesus then tells his disciples that it is the tax collector who goes home “justified.”

Friends, what is our disposition when we pray? It is good to be reminded: “whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
