May 29 – Homily – Fr Elias: Love the Essence of the Law

Homily #150529b ( 09min) Play - Fr. Elias preaches on the essence of religious law, that it is to foster our love of God and neighbor and to wean ourselves away from inordinate self-love. This explains Jesus' constant opposition to the Pharisees, exemplified in today's Gospel with the expelling of the money changers from the temple, who turned the religious law into a means of dishonest self-enrichment.
