The tax collector, however, stood far off and would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, be merciful to me, sinner that I am!’ I tell you that this man went down to his home justified rather than the Pharisee. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 18

Will you not revive us again,
that your people may be glad in you?
Show us your kindness, O Lᴏʀᴅ,
grant us your salvation.
Psalm 85
Make us alive, Oh God!
