As in today’s parable (Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time) it’s easy to fall into the trap of pride, whether we are believers or not.

Jesus reminds us that true righteousness lies in humility. Let’s step out of our comfort zones, acknowledge our need for mercy and quiet our hearts so we can truly listen to what He has to say.
