Tuesday Mass. 10.13.26. This homily is about the difference between following religious practices out of obligation and practicing them out of love. Using Saint Paul's confrontation with those insisting on circumcision and Jesus' words to the Pharisees about cleaning the outside while neglecting the inside, it reflects on how the Ten Commandments, Mass, confession, and devotions like the rosary are given to draw us into a relationship with Jesus, not to earn God's acceptance. It invites listeners to examine whether their prayers flow from love or from a sense of checking boxes.
