Pharisee or Tax Collector: Which Prayer is Yours? – Oct 26 – Homily – Fr Isidore
Views 14
From Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford, MA, Fr. Isidore M. Cipres gives the homily, warning against the subtle trap of pride in our spiritual lives, and contrasting it with the strength found in true humility (Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Oct 26, 2025).
Commenting on the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, Father Isidore calls us to approach God with a surrendered heart, reminding us that the prayer of the humble is what truly "pierces the clouds" and reaches Him.
Ave Maria!
