Theme: Law and freedom
1st
Reading: Sirach, chapter 15: 15-20
God has given us the freedom of
choice. All the same, he makes us aware of the preferred options which can only
lead to salvation and not to condemnation.
2nd
Reading: The first letter of Paul to the Corinthians, chapter 2: 6-10
St. Paul lifts the veil off
what is generally accepted as wisdom; we are to know that although the wisdom
of God is beyond our understanding, it is accessible to those who seek him.
Gospel
Reading: Matthew, chapter 5: 17 – 37
Jesus Christ cautions against
creating ambiguities by way of superficial interpretation of the commandments
to serve our narrow interests. We must be firm in our “Yes” or in our “No”.
