Lord, help me to find balance in my life. I am expected to be so much to so many people. Be with me as I struggle to meet expectations while still finding time to fulfill my own hopes and dreams. Amen.
Luke 18:9-14
Jesus addressed this parable
to those who were convinced of their own righteousness
and despised everyone else.
“Two people went up to the temple area to pray;
one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself,
‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity —
greedy, dishonest, adulterous — or even like this tax collector.
I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.’
But the tax collector stood off at a distance
and would not even raise his eyes to heaven
but beat his breast and prayed,
‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.’
I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former;
for whoever exalts himself will be humbled,
and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Audio de la oración diaira leída por el p. Uribe, O.M.I.
Señor, ayúdame a encontrar el equilibrio en mi vida. Se espera de mí que sea mucho para tanta gente. Acompáñame en mi lucha por cumplir las expectativas y, al mismo tiempo, encontrar tiempo para realizar mis propias esperanzas y sueños. Amén.
Lc 18, 9-14
En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo esta parábola sobre algunos que s tenían por justos y despreciaban a los demás:
“Dos hombres subieron al templo para orar: uno era fariseo y el otro, publicano. El fariseo, erguido, oraba así en su interior: ‘Dios mío, te doy gracias porque no soy como los demás hombres: ladrones, injustos y adúlteros; tampoco soy como ese publicano. Ayuno dos veces por semana y pago el diezmo de todas mis ganancias’.
El publicano, en cambio, se quedó lejos y no se atrevía a levantar los ojos al cielo. Lo único que hacía era golpearse el pecho, diciendo: ‘Dios mío, apiádate de mí, que soy un pecador’.
Pues bien, yo les aseguro que éste bajó a su casa justificado y aquél no; porque todo el que se enaltece será humillado y el que se humilla será enaltecido”.
