A Reflection: We have been reflecting on prayer, and today brings us to the great classic, the two men in the temple. Luke said that Jesus told this story to those who considered themselves as righteous, which indicates that his audience were Pharisees. The name Pharisees, the separated one, usually meant one who became dedicated to the observance of the Law. Like all groups, there were some people who got caught up in legalism, or became strict observers of the letter of the law, and forgot the spirit of the law. Jesus had many friends among the Pharisees, but occasionally issued warnings to those who forgot the purpose of the law. Two people go to the Temple to pray, a Pharisees and a tax agent. We become eaves droppers on their prayers. The Pharisees gives thanks to God, not for the wondrous works of God, but for himself, “Thank God I am not like them”. He is aware of the tax agent in the background, so his religious superiority is strengthened. The tax agent has only one prayer, which he says over and over, “Have mercy on me, I am a sinner”. Jesus is pointing out the pitfalls of losing sight of the goal of prayer. What is the purpose of prayer? Prayer is an outward sign of our relationship with God. Our focus is God, and in God, all of humanity. The first action of prayer is to listen. We are told God speaks in a variety of ways. Four key ways are given: God speaks through Prophets, through our human story past and present through Jesus and in and through creations. The second action of prayer is to respond. Out of active listening to God we move forward to act on behalf of God. The letter to Timothy sums up the Christian life. We are to be Eucharist for others, “bread broken and wine poured” for the life of all.
