In Your Presence

Is it possible that I am actually a hypocrite?


Listen Later

Fr. Eric Nicolai invites us to imagine Jesus saying these words to the Pharisees: "woe to you pharisees, you hypocrites…" (Matt 23, 23-26).  I don’t know what it sounded like in Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke. But the tone was important.  Sternest words of condemnation that ever came from our Lord's lips. There was also tone of deep sorrow. This is an invitation to examine how often we seek to ingratiate ourselves with others. To win applause. Or am I somehow sad when I am forgotten? When I am passed over? Let's often rectify, to do everything for God the father. We have the example of Dora del Hoya who worked in the domestic administration of the centres of Opus Dei in Rome. She served all her life, and was ready to disappear. That is one of the main reasons her cause of canonization was opened in 2012.
