The Gospel of the day: 15th July

    • Saint Matthew 12:1-8 Jesus was going through a field of grain on the sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “See, your disciples are doing what is unlawful to do on the sabbath.” He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry, how he went into the house of God and ate the bread of offering, which neither he nor his companions but only the priests could lawfully eat? Or have you not read in the law that on the sabbath the priests serving in the temple violate the sabbath and are innocent? I say to you, something greater than the temple is here. If you knew what this meant, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned these innocent men. For the Son of Man is Lord of the sabbath.” Saint of the day:  St…

The act of burying the dead – Love without end

  • It is worth noting that in the Creed, the profession of the Christian faith, we recall that Jesus “died and was buried” (cf. 1 Cor 15:3-4), and that this second part indicates not only a timely event, a result of death, but also a precise action that was carried out by some of Jesus’ disciples (cf. Mk 15:46-47; Jn 19:40-42): he not only reached the ground, in the cave of a grotto, but “he was buried”.  The Gospels attest that even John the Baptist, after being decapitated, was placed in a tomb by his disciples (cf…
