30th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Who Am I in Prayer?

How do I present myself to God when I pray? Do I express my utter dependence on God alone with humility, admitting my sinfulness? Do I try to impress God with a focus on what I am doing for the poor, for the widow and the orphan, for the refugee?

When in my life do I find myself saying “Thank God I am not like the others?” How do we know when perhaps we are complicit in social sin?

I found this reflection very helpful in understanding the lessons of this parable for me today.
