Healing and Forgiveness

Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time 8/29/21 - Fr. Carlson homily

In today's Gospel reading from Mark chapter 7, the Pharisees challenge Jesus about washing and purification before meals. Jesus' response is that sin is what really defiles us and separates us from God the Father.

When we go to God and ask for mercy and forgiveness from our sins, He will answer AND give us the grace we need.
