Sirach
35:12-14, 16-18
Psalm 34:2-3,17-19, 23
2 Timothy 4:6-8,16-18
Luke 18:9-14
Jesus draws a blunt picture in today's Gospel.
The Pharisee's prayer is almost a parody of the thanksgiving psalms
(see for example Psalms
30,118).
Instead of praising God for His mighty works, the Pharisee
congratulates...
