in the Carmel Chapel at Lisieux

Oh! how I love Thee, Jesus! my soul aspires to Thee —

And yet for one day only my simple prayer I pray!

Come reign within my heart, smile tenderly on me,

To-day, dear Lord, to-day.

From the poem "My Song of today" by St Therese de Lisieux

GOSPEL

Luke 18:9-14

At that time, Jesus spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others. 

Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one was a pharisee, and the other a publican. 

The pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give Thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers; as also is this publican. 

I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I possess. 

And the publican standing afar off would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven, but struck his breast saying: O God, be merciful to me a sinner.

 I say to you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
