Gospel
Matthew 23:27-32
Jesus said: ‘Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You who are like whitewashed tombs that look handsome on the outside, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of corruption. In the same way you appear to people from the outside like good honest men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
‘Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You who build the sepulchres of the prophets and decorate the tombs of holy men, saying, “We would never have joined in shedding the blood of the prophets, had we lived in our fathers’ day.” So! Your own evidence tells against you! You are the sons of those who murdered the prophets! Very well then, finish off the work that your fathers began.’
Reflection
This reading tells us to glorify God quietly. There is no need to tell the whole world how we pray. Yes there will be people who make comments but it doesnt matter as long as done in sincerity with a heart of worship.
Let us pray
Oh God grant us a sincere heart of worship as we continue to glorify you.
Amen
