Personal prayer cycle · Day 25 of 31 · Luke 18:9–14
Read Luke 18:9–14 in your Bible, then take a moment to reflect.
One man’s prayer becomes a comparison with others; the other asks for mercy. Jesus warns against turning religion into evidence of our superiority. Humility allows us to speak truthfully about our need without despair. Prayer opens us to grace when we stop defending a flawless image.
Bring it to prayer
Where am I comparing instead of praying?
One act of faith
Ask for mercy in one simple sentence.
Original meditation by Life of the Saints. This is part of a repeating personal-prayer cycle, not an assignment of the Mass Gospel.
