Ignatian Prayer Suggestion 2
Read Luke 18:9-14.
Put yourself in turn in the places of the Pharisee and the
Publican.
Does your ordinary prayer resemble that of the Pharisee or the Publican?
What changes are needed to make your prayer more in accord with the teachings of
Jesus and the example of the Publican?
Imagine yourself as the Pharisee standing in the front of the church on a Sunday
morning praising and thanking God that you are not like the rest of the people or
like some poor wretches you know.
Does this resemble any experiences in your own life?
Does your prayer ever fall into the category of the prayer of the Pharisee?
How can you become more like the Publican?
