Sunday Sermon

The message in this Gospel reading is clear, The tax collector standing at the back of the Temple, who was humiliated in the eyes of the Pharisee was afraid even to lift his eyes towards Heaven; the only thing he knew to do was to humbly beg God’s forgiveness for his sins, which indeed were many. Jesus assures us that “this man went down to his house justified and righteous, rather than the other… for he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
