Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ Saint Luke 6,1-5 The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath.

Jesus justifies the disciples who pick ears of wheat violating the precept of Jewish law. He answers the Pharisees by saying that God gave man the Sabbath law to serve his good, not to hinder it.
The Sabbath, the day of rest, was made for man and not man for the Sabbath (Mk 2, 23-28). And at this moment the disciples are hungry.

Before specifying what I think is the teaching that Jesus gives us with this passage, I would like to underline certain things, even if they seem obvious to me. In fact, I believe that the practice of a religion has three aspects:

It seems obvious to me that these three aspects are not always in this order: a person can have faith and pray even without knowing all the rites, dogmas and precepts.
Be that as it be, God gives the gift of Faith to man in mysterious ways. We also have the example of great sinners like Saint Augustine, or others who later became saints and who learned the forms and precepts after receiving the God call.

Obviously, if I have faith and know well my duties as a Christian, I must at first not only to realize that I am always in the presence of God, but also and above all I must show Him that I am grateful for what He gives today, and also for what he will want to give me if I am capable of final perseverance.

  Don't be like me, who          then I thought

   almost only of my work.

          Time passesby and then we will repent

For this I must prepare a plan of acts of gestures and prayers that allow me to be consciously in his presence at every moment of my day.
To give a concrete idea of how this presence manifests itself, I would say that it is as if God were my father who looked at me as a child on the beach and when I swam in the sea in summer.
I would watch at him to call him and show me even when I was playing, and he would sometimes intervene, correct me, maybe teach me how to make a sand volcano, or a castle, and other things. He sometimes he even saved me when I was about to accidentally hurt myself. I was aware of his affection even when he was reading his newspaper, he was my guardian angel.

I must say that it wasn't often that he scolded me when I didn't behave exactly as he wanted, or if I sometimes forgot to do something he asked me to do. It was enough for me to show him my good will and for him to understand that I had done it without malice, but maybe 'cause I couldn't, or I was tired, or I had forgotten.

WHOEVER HAD A FATHER, A GRANDFATHER, A MOTHER, A GRANDMOTHER OR ANY OTHER PERSON WHO HAD THE ATTENTION AND LOVE THAT MY FATHER HAD FOR ME, PUTTING ME TO THE TEST SOMETIMES ALTHOUGH NOT EASILY, REMEMBER THAT GOD IS LIKE HIM, AND CONSCIOUSLY TRY TO DO YOUR BEST.
He who has ears to hear, must hear....

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 6,1-5.

While Jesus was going through a field of grain on a sabbath, his disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
Some Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?"
Jesus said to them in reply, "Have you not read what David did when he and those (who were) with him were hungry?
(How) he went into the house of God, took the bread of offering, which only the priests could lawfully eat, ate of it, and shared it with his companions."
Then he said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath."

`How to be or become a follower of Jesus Christ in the world and in your situation`
« The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath.» Jesus justifies the disciples who pick ears of wheat violating the precept of Jewish law. He answers the Pharisees by saying that God gave man the Sabbath law to serve his good, not to hinder it. The Sabbath, the day of rest, was made for man and not man for the Sabbath (Mk 2, 23-28). And at this moment the disciples are hungry. ¿Por qué hacéis lo que no está permitido en el día de reposo? Before specifying what I think is the teaching that Jesus gives us with this passage, I would like to underline certain things, even if they seem obvious to me. In fact, I believe that the practice of a religion has three aspects: the first one is the knowledge of the forms of the rites, of the dogmas, precepts and commandments. the second one is the exterior made by acts of prayerful and devotional gestures, which must spring from it. third is the deepest one, which depends on the Faith that God gives us. It is the inner attitude that makes the gestures of devotion and prayer authentic and vivid. It seems obvious to me that these three aspects are not always in this order: a person can have faith and pray even without knowing all the rites, dogmas and precepts. Be that as it be, God gives the gift of Faith to man in mysterious ways. We also have the example of great sinners like Saint Augustine, or others who later became saints and who learned the forms and precepts after receiving the God call. Obviously, if I have faith and know well my duties as a Christian, I must at first not only to realize that I am always in the presence of God, but also and above all I must show Him that I am grateful for what He gives today, and also for what he will want to give me if I am capable of final perseverance. `Don't be like me, who then I thought almost only of my work.
