Mark 2:23–28

One sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields;
and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. The
Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the
sabbath?" And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did
when he and his companions were hungry and in need of food? He entered the
house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence,
which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and he gave some to his
companions." Then he said to them, "The sabbath was made for
humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of
the sabbath."

 

Reflection

Do I sometimes seek security by exercising too much
control over other people’s lives?

 

Have I ever thought that I meet
God in many ways?
