In today’s first reading, Moses said to keep the commandments. He also said the others will look to Israel as great people because their God is close.
In the second reading, James said to care for orphans and widows in their affliction. He said to keep oneself unstained by the world.
In the gospel, the leaders pointed out that the disciples were unclean when eating, not observing custom. Jesus said that what comes from the outside does not defile. What comes from within defiles. Do not let your heart harbor sin and evil thoughts.
Holy Spirit be our guide.
