He emphasizes that human traditions are not as important as following God\u2019s commandments.<br><br>Core Message (01:27 &#8211; 02:45): Jesus teaches that nothing external can defile a person; instead, it is what comes from within\u2014the thoughts and intentions of the heart\u2014that defiles.<br><br>Critique of Pharisaic Traditions (02:45 &#8211; 03:22): The reflection notes that the Pharisees are criticized for substituting human traditions for divine commandments, with an example of how they circumvented responsibilities like honouring their parents.<br><br>Moral Lesson (03:22 &#8211; 05:55): The emphasis is on the importance of internal purity and genuine faith over external adherence to traditions. The reflection highlights the need for authenticity in one\u2019s spiritual life.<br><br>Reflection and Prayer (05:55 &#8211; 12:49): The discussion concludes by encouraging personal reflection on one&#8217;s motives and actions, emphasizing that true spirituality involves both internal sincerity and external practices, and ends with a prayer for guidance and grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you found this exploration of Lectio Divina enlightening, don&#8217;t forget to give it a thumbs up, subscribe for more spiritual insights, and share it with those seeking a deeper connection.<br><br>Timestamps<br>0:00 Intro<br>0:14 First Reading<br>2.:05 Bishop David Walker<br>5:10 Mrs Virginia Ryan<br>6:20 Fr John Frauenfelder<br>8:06 Self Reflection<br>8:18 Second Reading<br>10:08 Bishop David Walker<br>10:37 Mrs Virginia Ryan<br>11:00 Fr John Frauenfelder<br>11:48 Self Reflection<br>12:11 Farewell &amp; Final Prayer<br><br>The Tradition of the Elders<br>7 Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him, 2 they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands, that is, without washing them. 3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they wash their hands, thus observing the tradition of the elders, 4 and they do not eat anything from the market unless they wash, and there are also many other traditions that they observe: the washing of cups and pots and bronze kettles and beds.) 5 So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, \u201cWhy do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders but eat with defiled hands?\u201d 6 He said to them, \u201cIsaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written, <br><br>\u2018This people honors me with their lips, <br>but their hearts are far from me;<br>7 in vain do they worship me, <br>teaching human precepts as doctrines.\u2019<br><br>8 \u201cYou abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition.\u201d<br><br>14 Then he called the crowd again and said to them, \u201cListen to me, all of you, and understand: 15 there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile.\u201d<br><br>21 For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, pride, folly. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bible-study-book-religion-religious-text-holy-bible-27da7c71aae3e26345c9323513639560-1024x590.png\" alt=\"bible-study-book-religion-religious-text-holy-bible\" class=\"wp-image-26178\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bible-study-book-religion-religious-text-holy-bible-27da7c71aae3e26345c9323513639560-1024x590.png 1024w, https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bible-study-book-religion-religious-text-holy-bible-27da7c71aae3e26345c9323513639560-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bible-study-book-religion-religious-text-holy-bible-27da7c71aae3e26345c9323513639560-768x442.png 768w, https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bible-study-book-religion-religious-text-holy-bible-27da7c71aae3e26345c9323513639560-24x14.png 24w, https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bible-study-book-religion-religious-text-holy-bible-27da7c71aae3e26345c9323513639560-36x21.png 36w, https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bible-study-book-religion-religious-text-holy-bible-27da7c71aae3e26345c9323513639560-48x28.png 48w, https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bible-study-book-religion-religious-text-holy-bible-27da7c71aae3e26345c9323513639560.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding:20px;text-align:center\" class=\"wp-block-tnp-minimal\"><p>Subscribe to our newsletter!<\/p><div><div class=\"tnp tnp-subscription-minimal  \"><form action=\"https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=tnp&amp;na=s\" method=\"post\" style=\"text-align: center\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"nr\" value=\"minimal\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"nlang\" value=\"\">\n<input class=\"tnp-email\" type=\"email\" required name=\"ne\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"Email\"><input class=\"tnp-submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Subscribe\" style=\"\">\n<\/form><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to a transformative journey as we delve into the profound practice of Lectio Divina, a spiritual meditation technique rooted in ancient traditions.
