Stichera of the Triodion-Publican and Pharisee



When the Pharisee went up to the temple in his vainglory and the publican bowed in his repentance, they both stood before You, O Master! The one lost his reward through boasting; while the other won Your blessing through his sighs. Because I too am sighing in Your presence, strengthen me, Christ God, for You are the lover of mankind ...Almighty Lord, I have known how effective tears are, for they saved Ezekiel from the teeth of death and delivered the sinful woman from her repeated iniquities. As for the publican, they justified him instead of the Pharisee. Wherefore I beseech You to count me among the former and have mercy on me.
