Then Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath.” (Lk 6:1-5)

The Lord doesn’t need us to pass judgment on anyone. The Lord is the boss, not us. Today’s photo is a cartoon by the NakedPastor (don’t let the name throw you).(The difference between me and you is you use scripture to determine what love means, and I use love to determine what scripture means.) It sums up very nicely what Jesus means when he says, “The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath.” As the Mother of Jesus says to the servants at the wedding feast of Cana, she also says to us: “Do whatever he tells you.” https://youtu.be/tuaxni79iFw?si=a-Ezj6tiGb-gqpZr
These reflections are a result of more than 40 years of ministry as a Roman Catholic priest. Most of these years I spent in the Diocese of Charlotte which covers Western North Carolina. Now I am retired, and live in Medellín, Colombia where I continue to serve as a priest in the Archdiocese of Medellín.
