Friday of Week 15 in Ordinary Time

What I want is mercy.
Not sacrifice.
Nor controversy.
For this we will pay any price.
Now here I tell you.
Is something greater than the temple.
As gentle as summer dew.
We need never ever tremble.
This new teaching.
Not based on sacrifice.
Loving , calming.
The message concise.
A new life is here.
Not just anywhere, here.
………
We ask for mercy
Which is greater than sacrifice
And that’s all we need
……..
See Matthew 12 : 1-8
