제1독서
갈라티아서 .5,1-6
형제 여러분, 1 그리스도께서는 우리를 자유롭게 하시려고 해방시켜 주셨습니다.
그러니 굳건히 서서 다시는 종살이의 멍에를 메지 마십시오.
2 자, 나 바오로가 여러분에게 말합니다. 만일 여러분이 할례를 받는다면
그리스도는 여러분에게 아무 소용이 없을 것입니다.
3 할례를 받는 모든 사람에게 내가 다시 분명히 말합니다.
그들은 율법 전체를 지킬 의무가 있습니다.
4 율법으로 의롭게 되려는 여러분은 모두 그리스도와 인연이 끊겼습니다.
여러분은 은총에서 떨어져 나갔습니다.
5 그러나 우리는 성령을 통하여 믿음으로 의로워지기를 간절히 희망합니다.
6 사실 그리스도 예수님 안에서는
할례를 받았느냐 받지 않았느냐가 중요하지 않습니다.
사랑으로 행동하는 믿음만이 중요할 따름입니다.
복음
루카. 11,37-41
그때에 37 예수님께서 다 말씀하시자,
어떤 바리사이가 자기 집에서 식사하자고 그분을 초대하였다.
그리하여 예수님께서 그 집에 들어가시어 자리에 앉으셨다.
38 그런데 그 바리사이는 예수님께서
식사 전에 먼저 손을 씻지 않으시는 것을 보고 놀랐다.
39 그러자 주님께서 그에게 이르셨다.
“정녕 너희 바리사이들은 잔과 접시의 겉은 깨끗이 하지만,
너희의 속은 탐욕과 사악으로 가득하다.
40 어리석은 자들아,
겉을 만드신 분께서 속도 만들지 않으셨느냐?
41 속에 담긴 것으로 자선을 베풀어라.
그러면 모든 것이 깨끗해질 것이다.”

Reading 1
Brothers and sisters:
For freedom Christ set us free;
so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.
It is I, Paul, who am telling you
that if you have yourselves circumcised,
Christ will be of no benefit to you.
Once again I declare to every man who has himself circumcised
that he is bound to observe the entire law.
You are separated from Christ,
you who are trying to be justified by law;
you have fallen from grace.
For through the Spirit, by faith, we await the hope of righteousness.
For in Christ Jesus,
neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything,
but only faith working through love.
Responsorial Psalm
Ps 119:41, 43, 44, 45, 47, 48
R. (41a) Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.
Let your mercy come to me, O LORD,
your salvation according to your promise.
R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.
Take not the word of truth from my mouth,
for in your ordinances is my hope.
R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.
And I will keep your law continually,
forever and ever.
R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.
And I will walk at liberty,
because I seek your precepts.
R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.
And I will delight in your commands,
which I love.
R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.
And I will lift up my hands to your commands
and meditate on your statutes.
R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.
Gospel
Lk 11:37-41
After Jesus had spoken,
a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home.
He entered and reclined at table to eat.
The Pharisee was amazed to see
that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal.
The Lord said to him, “Oh you Pharisees!
Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish,
inside you are filled with plunder and evil.
You fools!
Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside?
But as to what is within, give alms,
and behold, everything will be clean for you.”

There is so much talk these days about political freedom and how sacred it is to peoples everywhere. And it is. But I don’t think we focus enough on our spiritual freedom and how sacred that is to all of humanity. That is more critical to our hopes and survival. When Paul says to the Galatians, “Brothers and sisters: For freedom Christ set us free; so, stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery,” rousing as it sounds, he is not making a political statement. Nor is he trying to rally the masses around a set of legal certainties and social mandates. In fact, he is doing something quite the contrary. Paul tells us that we fall from grace when we seek justification by law. We separate ourselves from Christ when we bind ourselves to the law, which will become a yoke of slavery. Seems to me, that is what we are all trying to avoid these days.
Nowhere in his writings, however, does Paul say we don’t need laws and social mandates. It is a matter of priorities. Laws and social mandates are created to serve us, not for us to serve them. We have been set free for a greater purpose than just following the rules and norms of our societies. More significantly, we are called to the hope of righteousness, which we can obtain by faith working through love. That poses quite a problem for many of us. It is much easier to hold others accountable to the law than to love them. Yet, Jesus is straightforward about this. We can’t judge others and ourselves by what we do on the outside. It is more about how our hearts reflect faith working through love. I pray today that we can let Christ remove our yoke of slavery from seeking justification through the law so that we can more fully live in freedom through love.

IS MR. CLEAN MR. MEAN?
“You Pharisees! You cleanse the outside of cup and dish, but within you are filled with rapaciousness and evil.” —Luke 11:39
Would you eat off of a dirty dish? Would you eat food that had fallen on the floor? Would you eat in a restaurant where you know the cook is careless about washing his hands? Most of us are understandably concerned about at least minimal standards of cleanliness.
Jesus warned that we should be much more concerned about interior cleanliness. The same person who is squeamish about eating off a dirty dish may be unconcerned about being “filled with rapaciousness and evil” (Lk 11:39). A person who would never drink unfiltered water may be on the “inside full of filth and dead men’s bones” (Mt 23:27). A person who would feel uncomfortable if he didn’t brush his teeth daily may be on “the inside filled with loot and lust” (Mt 23:25). People who would be embarrassed to have dirty faces or to smell bad sometimes ignore the “hypocrisy and evil” within them (Mt 23:28).
Do you care that inside you there may be a garbage dump “stinking to high heaven”? If you don’t, ask Jesus to allow you to be able to see and smell the true condition of your soul. If you do, go to Confession and pray: “A clean heart create for me, O God” (Ps 51:12).
Prayer: Father, don’t just “clean up my act” but cleanse my heart.
Promise: Faith “expresses itself through love.” —Gal 5:6
Praise: Pope St. John XXIII enlarged the College of Cardinals and made it more international. He oversaw the Second Vatican Council and said he preferred “the medicine of mercy rather than severity.”

Is the Lord Jesus welcomed at your table and are you ready to feast at his table? A Pharisee, after hearing Jesus preach, invited him to dinner, no doubt, because he wanted to hear more from this extraordinary man who spoke the word of God as no one else had done before. It was not unusual for a rabbi to give a teaching over dinner. Jesus, however, did something which offended his host. He did not perform the ceremonial washing of hands before beginning the meal. Did Jesus forget or was he deliberately performing a sign to reveal something to his host? Jesus turned the table on his host by chiding him for uncleanness of heart.
What makes the heart clean and holy?
Which is more important to God - clean hands or a clean mind and heart? Jesus chided the Pharisees for harboring evil thoughts that make us unclean spiritually - such as greed, pride, bitterness, envy, arrogance, and the like. Why does he urge them, and us, to give alms? When we give freely and generously to those in need we express love, compassion, kindness, and mercy. And if the heart is full of love and compassion, then there is no room for envy, greed, bitterness, and the like. Do you allow God's love to transform your heart, mind, and actions toward your neighbor?
Lord Jesus, fill me with your love and increase my thirst for holiness. Cleanse my heart of every evil thought and desire and help me to act kindly and justly and to speak charitably with my neighbor.
Psalm 19:1-4
1 The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard;
4 Yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.
Daily Quote from the Early Church Fathers: Acts of mercy are examples of almsgiving, by Augustine of Hippo, 354-430 A.D.
"What our Lord says, 'Give alms, and behold, all things are clean to you,' applies to all useful acts of mercy. It does not apply just to the one who gives food to the hungry, drink to the thirsty, clothing to the naked, hospitality to the wayfarer or refuge to the fugitive. It also applies to one who visits the sick and the prisoner, redeems the captive, bears the burdens of the weak, leads the blind, comforts the sorrowful, heals the sick, shows the erring the right way, gives advice to the perplexed, and does whatever is needful for the needy. Not only does this person give alms, but the person who forgives the trespasser also gives alms as well. He is also a giver of alms who, by blows or other discipline, corrects and restrains those under his command. At the same time he forgives from the heart the sin by which he has been wronged or offended or prays that it be forgiven the offender. Such a person gives alms not only because he forgives and prays but also because he rebukes and administers corrective punishment, since in this he shows mercy... There are many kinds of alms. When we do them, we are helped in receiving forgiveness of our own sins." (excerpt from ENCHIRIDION 19.72)
