August 19, 2018 - In the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector Jesus offers us the way of justification. To be justified is to have the burden of a guilty conscience stripped away and, at the same time, to be made righteous by the God who transforms the soul. The way to this blessed gift is wrapped up in the virtue of humility. In this reflection, we examine this great virtue so that we may in humility cry out for mercy to the God who longs to bestow that great and limitless blessing upon us.
