Saturday within the 22nd week, Year C. Col 1:21-23; Luke 6:1-5

September 6, 2025 Emily Arthur

Saturday within the 22nd week, Year C. Col 1:21-23; Luke 6:1-5

The Sabbath is made for man and not man for the Sabbath. These words Jesus puts the human person at the center of everything. Rules, rituals, and regulations are good but they are made to serve the dignity of man human life and not to enslave people. By invoking the story of David eating the bread of the offering, Jesus shows, all rules aims redemption and not oppression. He is the Lord of the Sabbath because our love for others fulfills better the Law and Christ's mission rather than blind legalism. Christianity is 

not about rigid conformity  with laws but love, compassion,  hope and freedom.  For Christ, the salvation of the human person should always be at the center of our actions.

People are more important than rules and regulations even if regulations and rules help regulate lives in the community. 

Jesus, I trust in you
