For 27 August 2019, Tuesday of week 21 in Ordinary Time, based on Matthew 23:23-26
Jesus said:  “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. It is these you ought to have practiced without neglecting the others. You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel!
 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup, so that the outside also may become clean.

Thank you, Fr. Nick for your profound insights of the gospel for us today. May we all
pray not to be blind guides. Rather, may we take the example of Pope Francis to
bring the gospel of God’s love and mercy to all.
I appreciate your challenging question at the end of your homily as to “where do I stand before God?â€
Continued blessings on your life and preaching,
Sr. Brigid
