PONDERING HOW WE PRAY - The Pharisee and the Tax Collector (Lenten Reflection, Day 22)

Saturday of the 3rd Week of Lent

In the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector Jesus presents two ways of praying, as well as two dispositions for prayer. How do we fit into both (not one or the other) of these examples and how can we grow away from the example of the Pharisee, to the humility and God-centered prayer of the Tax Collector?
