    Having A Contrite Heart

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Oct 23, 2025
     | 292 views

    The parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector show us the importance of having a contrite heart that is aware of one's own sinfulness and lives in appreciation of God's mercy.

    ONE OF THE CHURCH’S ANCIENT LITURGIES IS WHEN THE PRIEST STARTED MASS WITH THE PRAYER “LORD, YOU WERE SENT TO HEAL THE CONTRITE OF HEART.” THE RESPONSE OF THE PEOPLE WAS TO SAY, “LORD, HAVE MERCY.” WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE A CONTRITE HEART AND TO SEEK GOD’S MERCY? TO HAVE A CONTRITE HEART MEANS ...read more

    Thirtieth Sunday In Ordinary Time - Year C. In Defense Of The Pharisee And Tax Collector

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 25, 2025
     | 222 views

    Jesus indicates that the Pharisee's virtue was destroyed by pride, but he certainly was objectively living a good moral life.

    Let’s see what the Pharisee did right, and the tax collector— The Pharisee prayed- 'O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity --greedy, dishonest, adulterous -- or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.' Jesus indicates ...read more

    True worship begins when performance ends; Jesus frees us from religion’s stage to live honestly before the Father who sees in secret.

    If you’ve ever stood backstage before the curtain rises, you know that trembling hush—the buzz, the heartbeat, the thought: Will they like it? That’s performance. And you don’t need a theater to feel it. The biggest stage ever built fits in our pockets. Every post, every selfie, every opinion ...read more

    Jesus frees us from religion’s stage—calling us from performance to presence, from spotlight to sunlight, to live unmasked before the Father.

    Religious Play-Acting The Sermon on the Mount opens with blessing and ends with a choice: sand or rock, appearance or obedience. Between those two poles, Matthew 6 sits like a quiet heart—Jesus’ exposition of motive. Here the Lord shifts from what disciples do to why they do it. He moves from ...read more

    Jesus is saying, no matter how rich you think you are, or how powerful you think you have become, it all because of the Lord. He is saying, not to think of yourself more then you should. And when you do, He is saying to you; "Who Do You Think You Are"!

    9. To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 10.

    God values humility and is drawn to those who earnestly offer themselves to Him. We must practice honest self-talk, intentional self-awareness, and adopt an "Us for Them" mindset to embrace humility in our lives.

    Today, we're going to talk about something that Jesus taught – humility. But first, let me show you something. (Bring out a deflated balloon and a fully inflated balloon) See these balloons?
