OCTOBER DEVOTIONS
During the month of October we pray a decade of the Holy Rosary after 10.00am Mass during the week and also the Prayer to St. Joseph for the Universal Church.
​
Pope Leo has asked us to pray the Rosary in October for peace in the world, particularly in the Holy Land and the Ukraine, so we will also say the Prayer for Peace in the Holy Land.
Luke 18.9-14
‘The tax collector went down to his house justified, rather than the Pharisee.’
Two examples of prayer: one from a self-righteous Pharisee who is really speaking to himself as he reels off the virtue which he sees is clearly part of him. He also detests those he considers lower than him—like the tax collector, also at prayer, who stands a distance away, saying, ‘God be merciful to me, a sinner’. Jesus makes no bones about whose prayer is heard: the sinner who is forgiven. The Pharisee was talking to himself.
