For 15 October 2024, Memorial of Saint Teresa of Ávila, Virgin, Doctor, based on Luke 11:37-41
While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited him to dine with him; so he went in and took his place at the table. The Pharisee was amazed to see that he did not first wash before dinner. Then the Lord said to him, ‘Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. You fools! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? So give for alms those things that are within; and see, everything will be clean for you.

Thank you, Barbara. You’ve given us/ me a lot to ponder. I too need to let go of the desire to be liked and esteemed. The call to embrace our authentic selves is a lifelong journey.
I was also touched by your comments regarding who we think is welcomed into the kingdom of God. May we expand our vision and hearts – to welcoming all as God does.
Peace
