Saturday – 16th Week of Ordinary Time B
Today, we hear a powerful message from the Prophet Jeremiah and his and our Lord, Jesus, in the Gospel. Both readings speak to us about the importance of living a life of authenticity through embracing God’s word. Jeremiah reminds us that we cannot simply claim to worship God while persisting in sin. When we do this, we deceive others and ourselves. As Jesus would say, we become like tombs, beautiful on the outside, but full of corruption on the inside.
