Justified in Prayer

Father Anthony reflects on the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, showing how authentic humility draws God’s mercy like a magnet. He reveals how self-righteousness blinds the heart, while honest repentance opens it wide to grace. In this simple but piercing story, we learn that true discipleship begins not with boasting in our virtue, but with trusting in God’s compassion—where the lowly are lifted and sinners go home justified.
