Why not join us this Sunday?
19th Sunday after Pentecost
Two men went up to the temple to pray but only one of them prayed. The Pharisee was too busy exalting himself and yet his gratitude is genuine. He really doesn’t want to be like other people because he belongs to a social class that does not include the tax collector. A friend used to refer to them as NOKD’s – ‘Not our kind, dear.’ The Pharisee tries to follow the Law by fasting twice a week. Moreover, gives a tenth of his income, which is particularly praiseworthy and an indication of what we could do for our stewardship campaign! His mistake is when he turns to condemn the tax collector. For he is no longer willing to let God be God but remains trapped in a world where he seeks recognition without God. Before God, humility is the appropriate virtue required by all persons.
