Reading 1 ( Dt 4:1-2,6-8)
Reading 2 (Jas 1:17-18,21b-22,27)
Moses said to the people: "Now, Israel, hear the statutes and
decrees which I am teaching you to observe, that you may
live, and may enter in and take possession of the land which
the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you. In your
observance of the commandments of the LORD, your God,
which I enjoin upon you, you shall not add to what I command
you nor subtract from it. Observe them carefully, for thus will
you give evidence of your wisdom and intelligence to the
nations, who will hear of all these statutes and say, 'This great
nation is truly a wise and intelligent people.' For what great
nation is there that has gods so close to it as the LORD, our
God, is to us whenever we call upon him? Or what great
nation has statutes and decrees that are as just as this whole
law which I am setting before you today?"
Dearest brothers and sisters: All good giving and
every perfect gift is from above, coming down
from the Father of lights, with whom there is no
alteration or shadow caused by change. He
willed to give us birth by the word of truth that
we may be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Humbly welcome the word that has been
planted in you and is able to save your souls. Be
doers of the word and not hearers only,
deluding yourselves. Religion that is pure and
undefiled before God and the Father is this: to
care for orphans and widows in their affliction
and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
Gospel (Mk 7:1-8,14-15,21-23)
When the Pharisees with some scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus, they observed that
some of his disciples ate their meals with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands. --For the Pharisees and, in fact, all
Jews, do not eat without carefully washing their hands, keeping the tradition of the elders. And on coming from the
marketplace they do not eat without purifying themselves. And there are many other things that they have
traditionally observed, the purification of cups and jugs and kettles and beds. -- So the Pharisees and scribes
questioned him, "Why do your disciples not follow the tradition of the elders but instead eat a meal with unclean
hands?" He responded, "Well did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honors me with
their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines human precepts.
You disregard God's commandment but cling to human tradition." He summoned the crowd again and said to
them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand. Nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person;
but the things that come out from within are what defile. "From within people, from their hearts, come evil
thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance,
folly. All these evils come from within and they defile."
