Listen "The Danger of Self-Righteousness"
Episode Synopsis
Fr. Miguel reflects on Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector — a lesson on pride, humility, and the heart that truly reaches God. The Pharisee prayed to himself, convinced of his own righteousness, while the tax collector could only cry out, “O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.”Through this Gospel, Fr. Miguel shows how easily we fall into self-deception — and how humility opens the way to God’s mercy. With wisdom from the saints, Mother Angelica’s humor, and the realism of St. Paul, this homily invites us to see ourselves honestly before God — not as we imagine, but as we are: sinners loved by mercy.
