NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS.
Two men went up into the temple to pray; two men, each, in God’s sight, just an immortal soul, although their circumstances, their “training, were so different, recounts Monsignor Ronald Knox, writing in the “Sunday Times.” One a Pharisee, highly respected, scrupulous, fastidious, a man of rank; and the other a publican, nobody’s friend, nobody’s hero, all his thoughts wrapped up in his business, and that business certainly a sordid, perhaps a dishonest one. Both went up into the temple to pray; religion has that great gift of levelling us; it takes all sorts to make a Church.
