The Gospel. St. Luke xviii. 9 JESUS spake this parable unto certain which trusted in

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself: God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are,extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this Publican: Ifast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the Publican standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself, shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
