Tuesday of the Twenty-eighth Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel text
Lk 11:37-41
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.
Gospel's Commentary
Today the Master, who has no prejudices, is eating with a Pharisee. Jesus is everyone’s friend. And, like a good friend, He does not keep quiet about things and denounces vices: “You Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filled with plunder and evil.”
—This warning still applies to us as well. To us? Yes! Here are some of our favorite sports: “political correctness,” “throwing the stone and hiding the hand”… Caring about the “how” without caring about the “what.” Does that sound familiar?
