It is critical to understand the difference between tradition that honors God and others that do not. The Pharisees had forgotten the importance of acting in God’s name instead of meaningless signs of their own piety. We all should watch for such pride, self-glorification and disrespect that separates us from our heavenly Father.

3 line reflection on the Gospel 5th February 2012
Do not despair.
God will find you and help.
Be ready to see him work miracles around us.
REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 3 FEBRUARY 2012
I know the mother was the mover in this scripture, but for some reason, I thought it was the girl. Perhaps I didn’t study the scripture accurately in the past. It shows how others see themselves above the law and how God’s law (not to marry your brother’s wife) was to be interpreted. In this case I am above the law. No-one is above the law, and we will have to atone for our sins when the time comes.
