Pastor’s Corner Prayer Corner
Weekly Income For October 19-20, 2019
Today’s parable teaches us that there is a journey we all have to make, a pilgrimage we are all called to undertake, and that is the journey from pride to humility. That is the journey or pilgrimage that the Pharisee in today’s Gospel needs to make. It was easy for the Pharisee to fall into the temptation of thinking he was better because he really was a good man. He fasted twice a week whereas Jewish law asked to fast only once a year. He paid tithes, giving away 10% of all his income, whereas Jewish law required one to tithe 10% of grain and firstborn of the flock. He was a really good man; however, he had the sin of pride and lacked compassion toward others. When it comes to sin and grace, we are all on the same playing field, none of us deserves or earns heaven, it is a gift from God to us won by Jesus’ suffering, death and resurrection. St. Paul reminds us in Romans 3:23, “We all fall short of His glory.” So, we have every reason to humble ourselves before God and ask for forgiveness and his mercy. There is some of the pride of the Pharisee and some of the humility of the tax-collector in each of us. So, each of us is called by Jesus in today’s Gospel to make that journey from pride to humility. Thanks I would like to thank you for all your prayers and best wishes on my birthday last Sunday. Special thanks to those who gave me birthday cards and gifts. Special thanks to the families that provided the birthday cake and the punch right after church last weekend. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. You made my day! May God continue bless you, your families and our community!
