The Sin of Hypocrisy II
In today's Gospel (St. Luke 12:1-10), Jesus continues His discourse on hypocrisy, likening it to leaven, when He sees the mass of people trampling each other, like a mass of bread dough into which the yeast is kneaded. As yeast is so very small, yet leavens a whole loaf, so a bit of hypocrisy seems a minor thing, yet it is deadly. The piety of Christian people ought never be used as a pretense or a cloak to cover wickedness. True piety is born of a desire to see and be with Christ, the Author of mercy. The sermon is here.

What pericope are you following for Lent, Father? I've noticed that your Gospels aren't the same ones as in the Missal. Thanks!
I have used for years the daily lectionary in TLH, which is also the basis for the meditations in my book Every Day Will I Bless Thee.
AHHH. Makes sense!
