GOSPEL  REFLECTION

The parable tells us that behind the law lies God’s desire that all people be saved. Superficial observance or the semblance of dutiful obedience is not the key element. The elders probably thought well of themselves in contrast to the tax collectors and sinners. When have you been surprised by good you found in a person about whom you had preconceived and prejudiced opinions?
