We humans are an odd species. We develop practices and habits for good reasons. We follow them so much we can’t imagine ourselves not following them. Then circumstances change and the relevance and force of these practices just evaporate. We are then invited to go deeper and decide what is important and what it is we should do. It’s called becoming morally and spiritually mature. That’s what’s happening in today’s Gospel at Mass. Are wedging to do something because we are told to or because we understand and want to? It’s really about freedom.
