I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
All Commentaries on Luke 18:12 Go To Luke 18
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
See how the Pharisee here, by pride, lays open to the enemy his heart, which he had in vain shut against him by fasting and prayer. It is in vain to defend a city, if you leave the enemy a single passage, by which he may enter in. (St. Gregory, mor. lib. xix. chap. 12.)
