10/11/11 cblog, CATHOLICS, TOO, MUST BE AWARE OF BECOMING RITUALISTIC; st dominic [Strange homily, I kept waiting for him to say something significant..he just rambled & seemed to miss a good teachable moment..for some catholics, the rituals become their faith, nothing more] ...
".all these things are nice & beautiful but if they r externals for externals sake..that's a prob..."I would think...why is Jesus so recklessly ignoring the customs ? A certain storage of water..must be pure ..half a log is one 1/2 egg shells..cleansing from tips of fingers to wrists ..if u miss any part u have sinned..god knows we have our own details in mass..beautiful..helps us pray..take care of inside..one another..might wash one another's feet..literally & fig..w/ hair Rom 1.16-25 "Brothers and sisters I am not ashamed of the Gospel. It is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes for Jew first, and then Greek. For in it is revealed the righteousness of God from faith to faith as it is written, "The one who is righteous by faith will live." The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness For what can be known about God is evident to them because God made it evident to them Ever since the creation of the world his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. While claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes. Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator who is blessed forever. Amen. Responsorial Psalm R.
R. The heavens proclaim the glory of God Luke 11.37-41 "After Jesus had spoken a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home. He entered and reclined at table to eat. The Pharisee was amazed to see that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal. The Lord said to him, "Oh you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish inside you are filled with plunder and evil. You fools Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside? But as to what is within, give alms and behold, everything will be clean for you."
