Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time“For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes

and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:20)

The scribes and Pharisees lived according to the letter of the laws and they used this to elevate themselves above the other people. Jesus is clear—it’s the love that you have in your heart that will get you to heaven. Simply following church rules out of obligation, not love, does not put you on the path to heaven. Attending Mass on Sunday and then gossiping about a fellow parishioner in the parking lot is an example of a modern-day Pharisee. Learn how you can show your faith by supporting your parish and contact The Catholic Foundation. For more information, please visit www.catholic-foundation.org/development.
