22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Jesus, the fulfillment

of God’s laws and

prophets, tells us

how to live out God’s

Commandments.

Today, we think about the best way to follow God’s Commandments, passed on to us through Moses, by witnessing God’s blessings and pres-ence in our midst. We can go beyond our human traditions and rituals by washing our hearts and getting rid of evil thoughts and desires. We practice it by caring for all who are vulnerable and in need.
