Bible reading: Isaiah 1:10, 16-20; Psalm 50; Matthew 23:1-12. In the gospel of today – Matthew 23:1-12, Jesus exhorted the people to respect the scribes and Pharisees because their magisterial authority is divine. However, he dissuaded the people from following their conducts and practice because these are at variance with what they teach. In other words, they teach something and practice something else.

Sleep no more, city of gold, for thou art a great mold. Shout without lookout, for fallen folks do not tryout those who can take them out… Poem by Ubongabasi Oliver Okon who writes from Uyo…
