Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23:
In verse 8, Jesus exposes the Pharisee’s hypocritical “lip service” to God’s law. Their interpretation of the ritual has more to do with tradition than with those actions that honor God. Their piety is superficial. Goodness and purity come from within.
Don’t we all have the same tendencies as the Pharisees? Even in our Church today, there is an “us” and “them” mentality that can undo unity of faith. Come Holy Spirit.
Caritas Zambia is a Catholic Organisation that is an integral structure of the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB). The Conference of Bishops is a permanent grouping of Bishops of a given nation or territory that jointly exercises certain pastoral functions on behalf of the Christian faithful of their territory. This is done for the sake of effective evangelisation. To promote the principle of the common good which the Church offers humankind, especially through forms and programmes of the apostolate which are fittingly adapted to the circumstances of the time and place, is the role of Bishops.
