Which of these two men is more like us?

(Jesus) also told this parable
to some
who trusted in themselves
that they were righteous
and despised others:

"Two men
went up into the temple
to pray,
one a Pharisee
and the other a tax collector.

The Pharisee stood
and prayed thus with himself,
`God, I thank thee
that I am not like other men,
extortioners,
unjust,
adulterers,
or even like this tax collector.
I fast twice a week,
I give tithes of all that I get.'

But the tax collector,
standing far off,
would not even
lift up his eyes to heaven,
but beat his breast, saying,
`God, be merciful to me a sinner!'

I tell you,
this man went down to his house justified
rather than the other;

for every one who exalts himself
will be humbled,
but he who humbles himself
will be exalted."

(today's Gospel - Luke 18:9-14)
