Episode Details

The Lord today in the Gospel of the mass today makes us think about this matter. He called the attention of the scribes and Pharisees because they expertly make up policies on practices and make them traditions for the ordinary Jew to follow. They finagle things things so that theses practices supersede the laws of God. This is another manifestation of man acting like gods, obviously a desire our first parents had to distrust Him and disobey his commandment not to eat the forbidden fruit. We should beware of this tendency we may have. We need to change how we set up these traditions and practices, i.e., they should only hold sway in our lives only when they follow the Will of God.
