The Pharisee and theTax Collector 

[Cox Cable is on the blink in case you experience difficulty.]

This parable is familiar to everyone.

As my neighbor Stephanie used to say:

"Do not be hoity toaty."

Or as the nursey rhyme proclaims, "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall and Humpty Dumpty had a great fall!"

So we pray:

Deliver us from the arrogance

that is the result of overweaning pride.

Jesus meek and humble of heart,

make our hearts like unto thine.

Amen
