Daily Shots - March 21, 2020 - a podcast by Verbum Dei Philippines

Listen to today's daily shot for a reflection on the Gospel of Luke 18:9-14.

?

Jesus addressed this parable

  to those who were convinced of their own righteousness

  and despised everyone else.

“Two people went up to the temple area to pray;

  one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.

The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself,

  ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity—

  greedy, dishonest, adulterous—or even like this tax collector.

I fast twice a week,

  and I pay tithes on my whole income.’

But the tax collector stood off at a distance

  and would not even raise his eyes to heaven

  but beat his breast and prayed,

  ‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.’

I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former;

  for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,

  and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
