In
the parable before us now, known as "The Pharisee and The
Tax-Collector" Jesus
illustrated the spirit that ought to pervade our prayers. He teaches us how and in what manner we ought
to pray to be heard by God - Lk 18:14. Without
the proper spirit, our perseverance in prayer will be for nothing. This second parable on prayer is therefore very
important, and worthy of our consideration.
