My sisters and brothers in Christ,
Is there anyone who can teach us as Jesus does? Is there any faith tradition that is as strong and true as
our own? There is no God other than ours, Father, Son and Spirit, that claims to give us the truth about
what it means to be human, what it means to believe and what it means to live with complete faith in God.
The second reading today is from the Letter of James. We are told to be doers of the Word and not only
hearers. This is echoed so much today: we need actions and not just words. All of us should recognize
that if we only speak about God or about Jesus or about the Spirit—and our lives have no actions showing
that our beliefs have taken effect—then no one will believe our words. This is echoed strongly today in the
movement to combat sexual abuse and the cover-ups of sexual abuse by bishops and religious
leaders. We humans get tired of words that do not change our lives into action. This is why today’s short
except from the Letter of James ends this way: “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.” Actions must come from beliefs.
The Gospel today is from Saint Mark and tells us about the complaint of the Pharisees and some scribes
that the followers of Jesus were not observing the proper Jewish laws when they did not wash their hands
before eating. Jesus shows Himself to be impatient with this understanding of faith: “You disregard God’s
commandment but cling to human tradition.” What use is it to wash our hands if we don’t love other people
and only use religious traditions to make life difficult for others?
Jesus is so clear in His teachings. He tells us that He did not come to destroy the Law and the Prophets,
but to fulfill them. Jesus has no problem with the person who washes His hands and still serves the poor
and the needy. The problem is with us who make sure to wash our hands but never pay attention to the
poor and the needy in our midst! If I go to Church regularly but don’t care about the poor and the needy,
my Church-going is in vain. I should both be going to Church and serving the poor and the needy.
We can never use our faith to think that we are just fine and ignore the poor and the needy. We must seek
how to serve others. God calls us in Christ Jesus to serve all others and to sacrifice ourselves and our own
desires in the serving of others.
Your brother in the Lord, Abbot Philip
