On Hidden Virtues

Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee

This Sunday begins our annual journey to the Holy Resurrection - Pascha.  We hear in the gospel reading assigned for this day, how two people approach prayer.

If you build a solid foundation, God will help you build the rest. The foundation you need is humility.

The Pharisee, a zealous follower of the law of Moses has built himself a palace out of his supposed virtues. However it stands on sand, it will not pass the test of life's trials.
