Sixth Sunday of the Year
Jer 17:5-8; 1 Cor 15:12 & 16-20; Lk 6:17 & 20-26 (Year C)
"Happy indeed is the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked, nor lingers in the way of sinners, nor sits in the company of scorners, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who ponders his law day and night.”
The responsorial psalm sets before us an attitude of mind and heart rather than a series of detailed commandments and prohibitions. It invites us to a prayerful communion with the Lord, so that his ways might become our ways, his thoughts our thoughts. Echoing these sentiments, Jesus warned his disciples that what is said and done flows from what fills the heart.
