In today’s Gospel Jesus was trying to teach us the importance of change, for the fact that something has always been done one way does not mean it should remain like that forever. There is room for change when a thing is no longer working. The Pharisees would clean their hands, legs and what not, yet their entire being remained filth. Jesus today, urges us to expand our mind and be open to a change of heart.

Let us pray: Lord, teach us to be open-minded to change and repentance. Teach us to accept others notwithstanding there social status, age, race and even religion. Above all, teach us to aspect our fellow Christian brethren, professing faith that are different from what we believe but still remain faithful to you through your son Jesus Christ. Amen.
