Declare your resources Corban, dedicated to God, and suddenly you had a religious excuse to keep your wallet closed. The technicality trumped the commandment.This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.Meanwhile Solomon stands before his magnificent temple and admits the truth. Heaven cannot contain you. How much less this house I have built. He knew the temple was a meeting place, not a cage.And Saint Scholastica prayed for a thunderstorm because she could not bear to end a conversation about heaven. Her brother Benedict had a rule to keep. She had a love that would not let go.Which are you offering God? Clean hands or a captured heart?📖 ReadingsFirst Reading: 1 Kings 8: 22-23, 27-30Responsorial: Psalm 84:3, 4, 5 and 10, 11Gospel: Mark 7:1-13⏱️ Timeline00:00 Introduction00:15 Reading I - 1 Kings 8: 22-23,27-3001:25 Psalm Response - Psalm 8405:31 Gospel - Mark 7:1-1307:23 Reflection - When Love Wins the Argument🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?
