3 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Dt 4:1-2,6-8 /Jas1:17-18,21b-22,27/Mk 7:1-8, 14-15, Jesus chastised these officials from Jerusalem for paying lip service to religious practices, while their hearts were disconnected from God. With their empty grand gestures that sought to gain favor and impress, they were being religious without having a meaningful relationship with God. By looking at outward matters and not matters of the heart; replacing their relationship with God with rules; and putting laws before love, the Pharisees and scribes were failing to meet the challenges at the heart of God s commands. Because their hearts did not beat for God, they neglected other people and a true love of God and justice. Likewise, it is important for us to ask ourselves if our actions authentically represent God s divine life within us. Are we acting for our own glory, or are we sharing God s loving presence from our hearts? We can find ourselves trying to simply live our lives balancing precariously between tradition and love. It can be much easier to live by someone else s set of rules, than to obey and follow God. In today s Gospel reading, Jesus gave us a new tradition that begins and ends with love. He asks us to let love transform our hearts and our souls so that we transform the world. In the tradition of love, are we willing to climb down from the rooftop and scratch out our simple, pleasant tune grounded in God?

Make plans to attend this September 9th program sponsored by the Knights of Columbus and Right to Life ProLife Committee. WHAT IS BREAKING BREAD? Breaking Bread is a Parish Program open to all adult members. It is an awesome opportunity to meet other members of our Parish community in a relaxed, stress-free, fun environment. When you sign up you will be put in a group with 6 or 8 people, and take turns being the hosts during the next few months. This is a way to get to know people you only see at Mass. You host once and are a guest at the other dinners. Don t worry about being a good cook-this is not a cooking contest.
