There's the condemnation of outward sacrifices in the first reading 📖 today. Sacrifices are required by the Way of God but they are not acceptable if they are not carried out with the right disposition of mind and heart.
The Lord rejects sacrifices and devotions that are borne out of external show alone .
You come for Mass because it's the greatest prayer on earth 🌍 to praise worship and give thanks to Him for His protection over you. Or do you go to Church ⛪ because people are going, just because cos it's an obligation.
You find yourself even dosing off while the Mass is being celebrated. You come you are only looking for what will amuse you so that you Can laugh without having the right mind to worship God in spirit and in truth. All these kinds of actions are unacceptable in the sight of God.
In this kind of situation we hear the ipsissima verba of Jesus in Matthew 15:8 these people honor me with lip service but their hearts 💕 are far from me. They use prescribed form of worship but in vain do they worship me. May this not be our lot.
We are exhorted to feel sorry for these sins of omissions and commission. Placing God above every other thing or person so that we can be worthy of God .
May God assist us to make our sacrifices to Be acceptable in His sight through Christ our Lord.
