In this episode of AM 1160 The Quest, we dive into a thoughtful reflection on the Gospel reading for the 22nd Sunday of Ordinary Time, Mark Chapter 7. Joined by our wonderful guest, Kathy McCormick, we explore the powerful message behind Jesus’ words on what truly defiles a person — not external actions but the condition of one’s heart. Together, we discuss how Jesus challenges the Pharisees on their adherence to human traditions and external judgments, while calling us to focus on the inner transformation that aligns us with God’s will. You’ll hear insights on the importance of the heart’s posture in living out our faith and how God’s laws, often seen as rules, are pathways to freedom and healing.
This episode is filled with wisdom about how spiritual practices and disciplines, like Confession and daily prayer, help guide us to live more in line with Christ’s teachings. Whether you’re preparing for Sunday Mass or seeking a deeper relationship with God, this conversation offers encouragement and reflection on how we can look within to root out evil and live with love and integrity.
