The prayer of the humble pierces the clouds, and it will not rest until it reaches its goal (Sir. 35:17) ⧾ Like all of our Lord’s parables, the parable of the tax collector and the Pharisee is meant to lead gradually to the hidden reality that can be truly discovered only through discipleship (Pope Benedict[…]
