Last week we learned a little bit about God’s infinite Mercy. Today, we hear about how we need to respond to that Mercy, in our actions. It isn’t enough to believe, we have to act on that belief. Jesus today takes the Pharisees to task for not repenting.
Let’s listen closely to see how God is calling us to repent in today’s Scripture readings for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time and the commentary on those readings by Dr. Peter Kreeft from his book, “Food for the Soul”, Reflections on the Mass Readings for Cycle A. Scripture readings are from the Lectionary for Mass for Use in the Dioceses of the United States of America, second typical edition, Copyright Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Inc., used with permission.
