Faraway hearts


In today’s gospel reading in ordinary time (Mark 7 : 1-13) Jesus calls the pharisees and scribes “hypocrites that Isaiah so rightly prophesised...” This people honours me only with lip-service, while their hearts are far from me.

Our Lady, in her latest message to Mirjana just a week ago (February 2), also recalls Isaiah’s prophecy mentioned by Jesus when she says: Your lips pronounce countless words, but your spirit does not feel anything.
