SATURDAY 27TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR II
Galatians 3:22-29, Luke 11:27-28
FAITH IN GOD SHOWS IN OUR ATTITUDES
It is often disgusting to see people of faith behave in a very awkward way. We are not known to be Christians because we say we are, and that we believe in God; people will truly call us Christians if it shows in our lives that we are.
In the first reading of today, we see how St Paul admonish the Galatians that their christianity was still very shallow. The Jews were very attached to their laws, they believed that once they obeyed the law, it was good enough to make heaven. St Paul therefore told them that observing the law is not enough, it should be accompanied with good deeds. We cannot discriminate against people and treat them badly, yet we claim to be children of God. May almighty God give us the grace and resilience to practice the faith we profess. God help us. Amen
