Where ever you look, you are surrounded by sinners. You
spend your days fasting and keeping all the “rules” of the Church, and every
night you thank God that you’re not like those sinners you know it the world.
Did you ever stop to think, YOU might be sinning? Did you ever consider the YOU
were the one that needed to repent? As the Triodion period begins, and Orthodox
Christians begin to prepare themselves for the coming of Great and Holy Lent,
the Church reminds of the Parable of the Publican and the Pharisee. One went
home justified, and I’ll give you a hint....it wasn’t the one who kept all the
rules.
