Reading from USCCB Website
This weekend's Gospel reading is the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. The Pharisee went the temple and said a prayer to himself thanking God that he is not like the rest of humanity then went on to say a list of things he did good. Where as the tax collector humbly prayed to be merciful for he is a sinner. Humility is not putting ourselves down or letting other people step all over us. Humility is more about thinking of others than yourself. The second reading, St. Paul is at the end of his life and praising God for his life, and not listing all of the good things that he did. He recognizes that God was his strength through his journey and that he was an instrument of God. See this video
