Basic prayer we all need to know and use
Published 4 years, 2 months ago
Description
Two persons were compared by Our dear Lord Jesus Christ in today's Gospel. Jesus declared the second one to be pleasing to God. And that is the prayer of the tax collector who simply said "God, be merciful to me, a sinner." This shows lots of humility which pleases God so much. There is nothing like speaking the truth about oneself to the One who is everything and more. The first one's prayer belonged to the Pharisee who prayed more about his virtues and good deeds before the One who is Good. He refrained from praying the lines about one's insufficiency.
