The Gospel on Tuesday, Marco 7 1 13, has its starting point in the
reproach that some Pharisees direct Jesus because his disciples
They have not listed their hands before eating, as prescribed in the
Jewish traditions, a purification ritual is made. Jesus answers with
This reproach force and calls them hypocrites. This town says it honors me with
The lips but his heart is far from me, the cult they give me is empty
Because the doctrine they teach are human precepts, you leave aside the
God’s commandment to cling to the tradition of men. This phrase is
clue. Jesus accuses the Pharisees that
They are leaving aside the commandment of God and says to cling to the
Tradition of men. It is not bad that there are traditions.
Do things in principle as always have been done, according to the
tradition, it can be very good because it does not have some roots but clinging to it,
sticking to it, it can become a great obstacle that
prevents the action of the Holy Spirit with evangelical freedom with which
We have to proceed. We could put many examples of
That phrase of Jesus, leave aside the commandment of God to hold on to the
Tradition of men. I’m going to put two examples. It is not true that
times many traditions, parties, pilgrimages that are carried out
Being a folk phenomenon
Apart from the commandment of God, to love God over all the
things, to sanctify the parties, to put the
Eucharist in the center of our life. It is not true that those traditions
They can become merely folkloric and have not prioritized the
God’s command. Or I give another example, for example, the religious images that
have been created to give God cult, so that through the
Veneration of these images our heart rises to God and sometimes
These images are used in museums or exposures merely
From its aesthetic exterior appearance, forgetting the commandment of God
that through them our heart rises to God and glorifies God.
In the heart of man there is always that risk of making creators of
That reproach of Jesus. You set aside God’s commandment to hold on to
The traditions of men. We have to always be examining our
heart so that in all our actions, in life, in our life
social and our spiritual life, we are always prioritizing the
God’s command. You will love your God with all your heart, with all your mind, with
Your whole being. The blessing of Almighty God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit descend on you.
