Today's gospel talks about Jesus and about the Sabbath. In the end, we learn that God is Lord of the Sabbath, and that our human ways impede on God's will. The Pharisees had the Jewish thing down to a science: eat this, not that; talk to this person, not that; say this prayer, not that. Of course their ways were highly questionable, as Jesus pointed out. Now look at us today. Look at our community! A gay man must weigh this much. A lesbian must dress with these clothes. How about we let God into our lives so that we can have everything sorted out? How about we let the Lord rule over us on today, the days after we have witnessed Jesus Christ, the days we have witnessed the Holy Spirit?
