Luke 18:9 Douay-Rheims

And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:

Greek Expositor (anonymous)

Patristic

(Asterius.) To be diligent in prayer was the lesson taught by our Lord in the parable of the widow and the judge, He now instructs us how we should direct our prayers to Him, in order that our prayers may not be fruitless. The Pharisee was condemned because he prayed heedlessly. As it follows, The Pharisee stood and prayed with himself.
