I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.\u2019 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, \u2018God, be merciful to me a sinner!\u2019 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stpeterorthodoxchurch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/hopko-speaking-logo.png\" alt=\"hopko-speaking-logo\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-704\" \/>February 10, 2009 Length: 19:12<\/p>\n<p>Fr.
