Liturgy of the Day...

​​

​We are needy people.  We each stand before God as someone in need.  No matter how well off we are, how healthy we are, or how satisfied we are with our lives, we are still in need of God’s saving mercy.  If we look at ourselves honestly, we see that we are far from perfect, that we in fact are sinful and always in need of forgiveness.  May we, like the tax collector in today’s Gospel, be aware of our neediness so that no matter our situation in life we too may humbly pray, “O God, be merciful to me a sinner.”
