In this week’s episode of Brother from Another Father (30th Sunday in Ordinary Time), Fr. Isaac reflects on how even our best intentions — like prayer, fasting, or celibacy — can be twisted by pride into self-righteousness. Drawing from the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, he explores what happens when religion becomes a contest of moral achievement instead of an encounter with mercy. Sometimes holiness itself can become the greatest obstacle to grace — until God, or a good friend, holds up the mirror.
