Gospel
text (Mathew 23,23-26): Jesus
said, «Woe to you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You do
not forget the mint, anise and cumin seeds when you pay the tenth of
everything, but then you forget what is most fundamental in the Law: justice,
mercy and faith. These you must practice, without neglecting the others. Blind
guides! You strain out a mosquito, but swallow a camel. Woe to you, teachers of
the Law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You fill the plate and the cup with
theft and violence, and then pronounce a blessing over them. Blind Pharisee!
Purify the inside first, then the outside too will be purified».
