"If you meditate on the Scriptures it will appear to you in its brilliant splendor." ―St. Pio of Pietrelcina
Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time ( B )Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 6-8 | Psalm 15:2-3, 3-4, 4-5 | James 1:17-18, 21b-22, 27 | Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23  Simply following God's rules does not make you holy. As we pray with the Scriptures on this Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time, we are challenged to discover what it really means to live a holy life, what it really means to follow God's law, and through that law, to become holy.
