“Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted” (Luke 18:14).
The Parable of the Publican and Pharisee
Repentance is the door through which we enter Lent, the starting-point of the journey to Pascha (Easter). To repent signifies far more than self-pity or futile regret over things done in the past. To repent is to be renewed, to be transformed in our inward viewpoint, to attain a fresh way of looking at our relationship with God and with others.
Let Your Light Shine
Let us flee the proud speaking of the Pharisee and learn the humility of the Publican, and with groaning let us cry unto the Savior: Be merciful to us, for Thou alone art ready to forgive.
