At that time, The Pharisees went and consulted among themselves how to ensnare Jesus in his speech... (Matt. XXII. 15-21.)
HY DID THE PHARISEES TRY TO ENSNARE JESUS IN HIS SPEECH? In order to find some reason to accuse Him before the emperor, or to make Him hated by the Jews; for had He denied tribute to Caesar, they would
have accused Him before the emperor as guilty of high treason; had He, on the contrary made it obligatory to pay tribute, then they would have denounced Him as a destroyer of the liberty of the people, who considered themselves a free nation owing allegiance only to God. Like the Pharisees are all those who, under the appearance of friendship, only cause vexation and misfortune to their neighbor.
WHO ARE REALLY HYPOCRITES? Those who in order to cheat their neighbor, appear outwardly pious and holy, whilst inward they are full of malice; those who have honey on the tongue, but gall in the heart, and sting like scorpions, when we least expect it. Because there are so many vices connected with hypocrisy, (Matt. XXIII.) therefore Christ has denounced no sin more emphatically than this one. Hypocrites are brethren of Cain, Joab, and Judas, of whom the first killed his brother, the second his cousin and the third betrayed his divine Master with a kiss. Such false men are cursed

by God. (Mal, I. 14.) I hate a mouth with a double tongue. (Prov. VIII. 13.) "The devil silently possesses the hearts of hypocrites and quietly sleeps in them, whilst he gives them no peace," says St. Gregory; and St. Jerome writes: "Pretended holiness is double malice." Better is an open enemy, before whom we can be on our guard, than a hypocritical friend of whom we have no suspicion, because we look upon him as a friend. Beware, therefore, my dear Christian, of the vice of hypocrisy, which is so hateful to God; endeavor always to be sincere with God, thyself and thy neighbor, and to walk in-true humility before God, then mayst thou carry His image within thee.
PRAYER Help me, O Lord, for the number of the saints is decreasing and truth is becoming rare among men. They speak vain things each with his neighbor: their lips are deceitful, and they speak with double hearts. Let the Lord destroy all those who say: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us? O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips and deceitful tongues give me grace to preserve Thy image in my soul, by piety and virtue. Direct my heart to justice and keep it from avarice, that I may give to each his own. —Fr. Shannon, msjb, Pastor.
AJESTIC QUEEN OF HEAVEN AND MISTRESS OF THE ANGELS, thou didst receive from God the power and commission to crush the head of Satan; wherefore we humbly beseech
thee, send forth the legions of Heaven, that, under thy command, they may seek out all evil spirits, engage them everywhere in battle, curb their insolence, and hurl them back into the pit of Hell. “Who is like unto God?” O good and tender Mother, thou shalt ever be our hope and the object of our love. O Mother of God, send forth the holy Angels to defend us and drive far from us the cruel foe. Holy Angels and Archangels, defend us and keep us. Amen.
BOVE ALL, AVOID ONE ERROR; say not: I will love God and serve Him at some future time; I will love Him and serve Him when the passion of the senses will have grown cold in my ardent
breast. For in vain will you await that hour of peace; it comes not of itself and by the mere lapse of years. Time fortifies in beings that only which it finds in them, and if it finds vice, it seals it from day to day with a greater seal. Think not that the old man enjoys beneath his gray hairs the calm of a temperance which as it were innate in him; that is true of the man who has resisted his passions from the dawn of his liberty, and who has made of them a road to Heaven, the more secure as it cost him the more effort. But to the man who has basely abandoned the reins of his soul, who has reckoned upon age and not upon virtue, to such a man old age brings degradation, not deliverance. The forces of his will, relaxed by being long unaccustomed to rule, are impotent to govern him, and his intelligence, corrupted by the ever recurring images of beauty, causes to issue from his bones a vapour which intoxicates him, and permits him not to obtain even from sleep the purity denied him by day. Turn not, then, your hopes towards time; time will bring to you but the maturity of your vices or of your virtues. Let the reign of things you love commence within you from this hour, the reign of good, if it be good which has indeed your love. This reign will cost you much. Youth is a time of intelligence, it is also a time of combat, but it is a fruitful combat in which each victory will confirm you still more in the power to conquer, and sink the anchor of your destinies in the soil of eternity. – Pere Henri Dominique Lacordaire
