In disputing with the Pharisees over the rules about the Sabbath, Jesus reminds them that "something greater than the temple is here. " (Mt 12: 7): feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, visiting the hospitalized, visiting prisoners, etc...these can displace the rules intended to preserve order, for charity, LOVE, takes precedence. Our compassionate God desires mercy, not the sacrifice of animals. May this become our principle motive of action; may we in prayerful discernment sort through possibilities, find ourselves on the side of mercy and love and then discover the "something greater" that Jesus is talking about.
