St Martin de Porres

Romans 9:1-5; Psalm 147; Luke 14:1-6

Laws are for…..?

Good laws are important to follow. Normally they are to protect you and me – our rights, our lives, our property. Sometimes, though, I can make my own opinion a law, and expect others to act in accord with it. It can blind me to good common sense. And it can also prevent my seeing the needs of others. Jesus chided the Pharisees for doing exactly this. What blinds me to seeing how I can help others? Pray today that I listen to, and do my best to understand, the opinions of others.
