Last updated on: January 9, 2017 at 7:22 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

“making the Word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down” (verse 13). This is the essence of Jesus’ teaching this morning. He is so concerned that people not exchange the Word of God for the traditions of men that He goes so far as to call the Pharisees hypocrites. It’s easy for us to root against the poor Pharisees. They seem so stiff, so self-righteous, and such hypocrites that it’s easy to despise them... Read more

The Circumcision of Christ – Luke 2:15-21

Last updated on: January 1, 2017 at 7:25 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Happy New Year! Although the lesson from today’s daily lectionary is taken from Ephesians 2:11-22, since today is the celebration of the Circumcision of Christ, I’m choosing to write about the lesson related to that event, which we celebrate on January 1.  There is one, unobtrusive verse in the Gospels that most of us skip over each year.  It’s tucked away right after the justly famous Christmas passage in St. Luke’s Gospel.  But after the angels had sung and announced,... Read more
