Today we celebrate the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time. In that time we have a big opportunity to realize in ourselves: what is the sense of our faith; does our prayers, our worships, our coming to the church for mass really work for us and our salvation?
Today’s Gospel gives us the two examples of the people who came to the temple for the prayer: the Pharisee and the tax collector. These two attitudes are mixed in our spiritual life. The good direction for our life is: when the attitudes of the tax collector who is modest, humble and knows his sinfulness win in us. After this we can get the reconciliation and peace in our life.
The Eucharist is the time when we don’t brag about our high status. Simply we come before alter, we make confession of our sins, we hear the Word of God, we praise God in Liturgy of the Eucharist and we got the Holy Communion; after this we go to our daily lives and proclaim the Kingdom of God around us.
