Lectio - Mk 7.1-13

Meditatio: "You nullify the word of God in favor of your tradition that you have handed on.” Mk 7.13a

Oratio: "O God, your ways are spirit and life.

I remember Jesus condemned the Pharisees and Scribes for nullifying your ways in favor of their traditions of external piety.

Grant that I may worship you with a sincere heart and that what I am on the inside is what I reflect on the outside.

I ask this of you, who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.”

Contemplatio – Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes.
