Theme : " Renouncing Evil "
Text : Matthew 23:25-26
25. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you clean the outside of the cup and the platter, and inside they are full of greed and intemperance. 26. Blind Pharisee! First cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside also becomes clean.
Let's remember:
We act badly when we attract the gaze of our neighbor by a false impression. By our actions, we attract the attention of others who think we are good people; when we are hypocrites. We hide our interior filled with lies, doubt, negligence, hatred, tears, misunderstanding, lust and all kinds of evil. Our appearance shines while our interior deteriorates. Our mouth smiles but our heart cries. This duality is an evil that God condemns. Let's clean up the debris buried in our lives. Let us dislodge the stains that sully our relationship with God and with our neighbour. Let's be sincere! When we blame ourselves for something, find the right solution before moving forward so as not to pile up the faults. Let the visible expression of our life reflect our hidden inner expression. Let's wash what people don't see; what we hide. Excellent Saturday. Amen Alain Louz.-
