오늘의 복음 : http://info.catholic.or.kr/missa/default.asp 

제1독서

창세기 1,20ㅡ2,4ㄱ

20 하느님께서 말씀하셨다.

“물에는 생물이 우글거리고, 새들은 땅 위 하늘 궁창 아래를 날아다녀라.”

21 이렇게 하느님께서는

큰 용들과 물에서 우글거리며 움직이는 온갖 생물들을 제 종류대로,

또 날아다니는 온갖 새들을 제 종류대로 창조하셨다.

하느님께서 보시니 좋았다.

22 하느님께서 이들에게 복을 내리며 말씀하셨다.

“번식하고 번성하여 바닷물을 가득 채워라.

새들도 땅 위에서 번성하여라.”

23 저녁이 되고 아침이 되니 닷샛날이 지났다.

24 하느님께서 말씀하시기를 “땅은 생물을 제 종류대로,

곧 집짐승과 기어 다니는 것과 들짐승을 제 종류대로 내어라.” 하시자,

그대로 되었다.

25 하느님께서는 이렇게 들짐승을 제 종류대로, 집짐승을 제 종류대로,

땅바닥을 기어 다니는 온갖 것을 제 종류대로 만드셨다.

하느님께서 보시니 좋았다.

26 하느님께서 말씀하셨다. “우리와 비슷하게 우리 모습으로 사람을 만들자.

그래서 그가 바다의 물고기와 하늘의 새와 집짐승과

온갖 들짐승과 땅을 기어 다니는 온갖 것을 다스리게 하자.”

27 하느님께서는 이렇게 당신의 모습으로 사람을 창조하셨다.

하느님의 모습으로 사람을 창조하시되 남자와 여자로 그들을 창조하셨다.

28 하느님께서 그들에게 복을 내리며 말씀하셨다.

“자식을 많이 낳고 번성하여 땅을 가득 채우고 지배하여라.

그리고 바다의 물고기와 하늘의 새와

땅을 기어 다니는 온갖 생물을 다스려라.”

29 하느님께서 말씀하시기를 “이제 내가

온 땅 위에서 씨를 맺는 모든 풀과 씨 있는 모든 과일나무를 너희에게 준다.

이것이 너희의 양식이 될 것이다.

30 땅의 모든 짐승과 하늘의 모든 새와

땅을 기어 다니는 모든 생물에게는

온갖 푸른 풀을 양식으로 준다.” 하시자, 그대로 되었다.

31 하느님께서 보시니 손수 만드신 모든 것이 참 좋았다.

저녁이 되고 아침이 되니 엿샛날이 지났다.

2,1 이렇게 하늘과 땅과 그 안의 모든 것이 이루어졌다.

2 하느님께서는 하시던 일을 이렛날에 다 이루셨다.

그분께서는 하시던 일을 모두 마치시고 이렛날에 쉬셨다.

3 하느님께서 이렛날에 복을 내리시고 그날을 거룩하게 하셨다.

하느님께서 창조하여 만드시던 일을 모두 마치시고

그날에 쉬셨기 때문이다.

4 하늘과 땅이 창조될 때 그 생성은 이러하였다.

복음

마르코.7,1-13

그때에 1 예루살렘에서 온 바리사이들과 율법 학자 몇 사람이

예수님께 몰려왔다가,

2 그분의 제자 몇 사람이 더러운 손으로,

곧 씻지 않은 손으로 음식을 먹는 것을 보았다.

3 본디 바리사이뿐만 아니라 모든 유다인은 조상들의 전통을 지켜,

한 움큼의 물로 손을 씻지 않고서는 음식을 먹지 않으며,

4 장터에서 돌아온 뒤에 몸을 씻지 않고서는 음식을 먹지 않는다.

이 밖에도 지켜야 할 관습이 많은데,

잔이나 단지나 놋그릇이나 침상을 씻는 일들이다.

5 그래서 바리사이들과 율법 학자들이 예수님께 물었다.

“어째서 선생님의 제자들은 조상들의 전통을 따르지 않고,

더러운 손으로 음식을 먹습니까?”

6 예수님께서 그들에게 이르셨다.

“이사야가 너희 위선자들을 두고 옳게 예언하였다.

성경에 이렇게 기록되어 있다.

‘이 백성이 입술로는 나를 공경하지만 그 마음은 내게서 멀리 떠나 있다.

7 그들은 사람의 규정을 교리로 가르치며 나를 헛되이 섬긴다.’

8 너희는 하느님의 계명을 버리고 사람의 전통을 지키는 것이다.”

9 또 이어서 그들에게 말씀하셨다.

“너희는 너희의 전통을 고수하려고 하느님의 계명을 잘도 저버린다.

10 모세는 ‘아버지와 어머니를 공경하여라.’

그리고 ‘아버지나 어머니를 욕하는 자는 사형을 받아야 한다.’고 말하였다.

11 그런데 너희는 누가 아버지나 어머니에게

‘제가 드릴 공양은 코르반, 곧 하느님께 바치는 예물입니다.’

하고 말하면 된다고 한다.

12 그러면서 아버지나 어머니에게 더 이상 아무것도 해 드리지 못하게 한다.

13 너희는 이렇게 너희가 전하는 전통으로 하느님의 말씀을 폐기하는 것이다.

너희는 이런 짓들을 많이 한다.”

Reading 1

Gn 1:20-2:4a

God said,

“Let the water teem with an abundance of living creatures,

and on the earth let birds fly beneath the dome of the sky.”

And so it happened:

God created the great sea monsters

and all kinds of swimming creatures with which the water teems,

and all kinds of winged birds.

God saw how good it was, and God blessed them, saying,

“Be fertile, multiply, and fill the water of the seas;

and let the birds multiply on the earth.”

Evening came, and morning followed?the fifth day.

Then God said,

“Let the earth bring forth all kinds of living creatures:

cattle, creeping things, and wild animals of all kinds.”

And so it happened:

God made all kinds of wild animals, all kinds of cattle,

and all kinds of creeping things of the earth.

God saw how good it was.

Then God said:

“Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.

Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,

the birds of the air, and the cattle,

and over all the wild animals

and all the creatures that crawl on the ground.”

God created man in his image;

in the divine image he created him;

male and female he created them.

God blessed them, saying:

“Be fertile and multiply;

fill the earth and subdue it.

Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air,

and all the living things that move on the earth.”

God also said:

“See, I give you every seed-bearing plant all over the earth

and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit on it to be your food;

and to all the animals of the land, all the birds of the air,

and all the living creatures that crawl on the ground,

I give all the green plants for food.”

And so it happened.

God looked at everything he had made, and he found it very good.

Evening came, and morning followed?the sixth day.

Thus the heavens and the earth and all their array were completed.

Since on the seventh day God was finished with the work he had been doing,

he rested on the seventh day from all the work he had undertaken.

So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy,

because on it he rested from all the work he had done in creation.

Such is the story of the heavens and the earth at their creation.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 8:4-5, 6-7, 8-9

R. (2ab) O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!

When I behold your heavens, the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars which you set in place?

What is man that you should be mindful of him,

or the son of man that you should care for him?

R. O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!

You have made him little less than the angels,

and crowned him with glory and honor.

You have given him rule over the works of your hands,

putting all things under his feet.

R. O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!

All sheep and oxen,

yes, and the beasts of the field,

The birds of the air, the fishes of the sea,

and whatever swims the paths of the seas.

R. O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!

Gospel

Mk 7:1-13

When the Pharisees with some scribes who had come from Jerusalem

gathered around Jesus,

they observed that some of his disciples ate their meals

with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands.

(For the Pharisees and, in fact, all Jews,

do not eat without carefully washing their hands,

keeping the tradition of the elders.

And on coming from the marketplace

they do not eat without purifying themselves.

And there are many other things that they have traditionally observed,

the purification of cups and jugs and kettles and beds.)

So the Pharisees and scribes questioned him,

“Why do your disciples not follow the tradition of the elders

but instead eat a meal with unclean hands?”

He responded,

“Well did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites,

as it is written:

This people honors me with their lips,

but their hearts are far from me;

in vain do they worship me,

teaching as doctrines human precepts.

You disregard God’s commandment but cling to human tradition.”

He went on to say,

“How well you have set aside the commandment of God

in order to uphold your tradition!

For Moses said,

Honor your father and your mother,

and Whoever curses father or mother shall die.

Yet you say,

‘If someone says to father or mother,

“Any support you might have had from me is qorban”’

(meaning, dedicated to God),

you allow him to do nothing more for his father or mother.

You nullify the word of God

in favor of your tradition that you have handed on.

And you do many such things.”

Today’s gospel reading reminds us of the importance of having an interior disposition towards God in our life. While rituals and traditions are good, they can only be helpful if our heart is oriented towards God. But this interior disposition means nothing if it does not show itself in action. The purity that we are invited to as disciples of Jesus is one that emanates from our heart and that is manifested by our love for our neighbor. Ironically, this might mean getting dirty or as Pope Francis says, ‘getting our shoes muddied.’ The purity that the gospel advocates is one of being engaged with the messiness of our world, of fighting for justice and equity, of advocating for peace and reconciliation, of respecting human life in all its forms, of caring for the environment etc

NEW CREATIONS (PART 2)

“God created.” —Genesis 1:27

On the threshold of Lent, we pray for a new springtime in the Spirit resulting in new creations. The Lord continues to create through His Spirit, Word, and light.

In God’s light, we see the “formless wasteland” (see Gn 1:2) of our lives. We see the need to establish God’s order, harmony, shalom. Accordingly, we begin to separate things in our life, just as God separated the light from the darkness (Gn 1:4), the waters above from the waters below (Gn 1:7), and the land from the sea (Gn 1:9). A re-ordering is necessary for re-creations and new creations. We must “come out from among them and separate [ourselves] from them” (2 Cor 6:17); that is, we must separate from the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (see 1 Jn 2:16, RSV-CE). We must separate from the ways of the world, for Jesus has chosen us out of the world (Jn 15:19). In the darkness of the world, the growth of God’s creations is stifled.

Additionally, for God to create anew in our lives, we must “be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it” (Gn 1:28). We must bear fruit for God’s kingdom by sharing our faith and leading others to new life in Christ. If we don’t co-create with God by sowing the seed of God’s Word, then we don’t want and don’t receive God’s new creations that much.

This Lent, be separated from the world and fruitful in the Spirit. Be newly created and creative.

Prayer: Father, create in me a creative spirit.

Promise: “God created man in His image; in the divine image He created him; male and female He created them.” —Gn 1:27

Praise: Fr. Charles developed a free Bible school so everyone could train in holiness.

What makes a person unclean or unfit to offer God acceptable worship? The Jews went to great pains to ensure that their worship would conform to the instructions which God gave to Moses on Mount Sinai. God's call to his people was a call to holiness: "be holy, for I am holy" (Leviticus 11:44; 19:2). In their zeal for holiness many elders developed elaborate traditions which became a burden for the people to carry out in their everyday lives. The Scribes and Pharisees were upset with Jesus because he allowed his disciples to break with their ritual traditions by eating with unclean hands. They sent a delegation all the way from Jerusalem to Galilee to bring their accusation in a face-to-face confrontation with Jesus.

God's law teaches us how to love God and neighbor in holiness and truth

Jesus dealt with their accusation by going to the heart of the matter - by looking at God's intention and purpose for the commandments. Jesus gave an example of how their use of ritual tradition excused them from fulfilling the commandment to honor one's father and mother. If someone wanted to avoid the duty of financially providing for their parents in old age or sickness they could say that their money or goods were an offering "given over to God" and thus exempt from any claim of charity or duty to help others. They broke God's law to fulfill a law of their own making. Jesus explained that they void God's command because they allowed their hearts and minds to be clouded by their own notions of religion.

Allow God's word to purify your thoughts, intentions, and actions

Jesus accused them specifically of two things. First of hypocrisy. Like actors, who put on a show, they appear to obey God's word in their external practices while they inwardly harbor evil desires and intentions. Secondly, he accused them of abandoning God's word by substituting their own arguments and ingenious interpretations for what God requires. They listened to clever arguments rather than to God's word. Jesus refers them to the prophecy of Isaiah (29:31) where the prophet accuses the people of his day for honoring God with their lips while their hearts went astray because of disobedience to God's laws.

If we listen to God's word with faith and reverence, it will both enlighten our mind and purify our heart - thus enabling us to better understand how he wants us to love and obey him. The Lord invites us to draw near to him and to feast at his banquet table. Do you approach with a clean heart and mind? Ask the Lord to cleanse and renew you with the purifying fire of his Holy Spirit.


Lord Jesus, let the fire of your Holy Spirit cleanse my mind and my heart that I may love you purely and serve you worthily.


Psalm 84:1-5, 9-10

1 How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts!

2 My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.

3 Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God.

4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise! Selah

5 Blessed are the men whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.

9 Behold our shield, O God; look upon the face of your anointed!

10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Daily Quote from the Early Church Fathers: Mammon refuses to provide for parents in old age, by John Chrysostom (347-407 AD)

"Christ says, 'Care for the poor' (Matthew 19:21; Mark 10:21; Luke 14:13); Mammon says, 'Take away even those things the poor possess.' Christ says, 'Empty yourself of what you have' (Matthew 16:24; Mark 8:34; Luke 9:23); Mammon says, 'Take also what they possess.' Do you see the opposition, the strife between them? See how it is that one cannot obey both, but must reject one?... Christ says, 'None of you can become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions' (Luke 14:33); Mammon says, 'Take the bread from the hungry.' Christ says, 'Cover the naked' (Matthew 25:34-40; Isaiah 58:7); the other says, 'Strip the naked.' Christ says, 'You shall not turn away from your own family (Isaiah 58:7), and those of your own house' (1 Timothy 5:8; Galatians 6:10); Mammon says, 'You shall not show mercy to those of your own family. Though you see your mother or your father in want, despise them' (Mark 7:11)." (excerpt from HOMILIES ON PHILIPPIANS 6.25)
