‘I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted (NRSV, Luke 18:14).’
Let us pray.
Father, everything I am and everything I have comes from you. Of myself I am nothing. And even then, what I have received from you, I do not always use rightly but surrender myself to selfishness and sin. How grateful I must be that you, Father, in every situation offer me forgiveness and reconciliation. May I be ever more responsive to your kindness and make better use of your gifts, growing in humble acceptance of your freely bestowed life.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
