Matthew 23:1-12:
The parables and controversies concerning the hypocrisy of Jesus’ opponents reach a climax in the Gospel. Jesus names in detail their problematic behavior and instructs the crowds not to follow the example of the Jewish leaders. All their efforts are a means to serve themselves.
We pray for the leaders of our Church. May they truly understand what it is to follow your example by leading with the heart of a servant.
