Reflection for Oct. 26, 2025

Humility, not self-assurance, opens the door to God's mercy

Like the tax collector, may we recognize our dependence on God each day

by Renae Bauer
Communications Director

What are we to learn from Sunday’s parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in the temple? Sure, the Pharisee was wrong to judge those around him, but let’s consider the tax collector and his prayer: “O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.” The tax collector acknowledged his need for God, whereas the Pharisee thought about himself.

How can you and I acknowledge our need for God each and every day?
