🎧 Seeds of the Gospel – Episode: The Pharisee and the Tax Collector – The Prayer God Hears

Two men walk into the temple to pray — but only one walks out heard by God.

In this eye-opening episode, Fr. Dyson and Vinu unpack Jesus’ parable from Luke 18:9–14, where a religious leader boasts in front of God, while a broken sinner whispers a simple cry for mercy. One performs. One confesses. Jesus reveals which prayer moves heaven.

💡 In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Why the Pharisee’s prayer sounded holy — but wasn’t
  • How comparison kills authentic prayer
  • The powerful simplicity of “God, have mercy on me”
  • What God truly listens to: humility over perfection

🛑 Your Challenge Today:
Pray — not to impress, but to express. Take a moment and whisper from the heart:
“Lord, have mercy on me.”

🙏 Prayer Included

This episode is a reminder that God isn’t looking for polished words — He’s looking for a humble heart.

Real prayer doesn’t compare. It confesses.
