O Filho do Homem é Senhor do Sábado: O verdadeiro descanso para a sua alma exausta!

If you understood what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not condemn the innocent. "For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." (Mt 12:7-8) 🌾👑❤️ In today's devotional, guided by the surgical, courageous, and pastoral writing of the Minister of the Word, Jobert, we enter the wheat fields of Galilee to witness the confrontation between Pharisaical rigidity and the freedom of God's children. Jesus' disciples are hungry and pluck ears of grain on the Sabbath. For the doctors of the law, this was a ritual crime; for the Master, it was the opportunity to reveal who He truly is: He who is above the temple, the law, and time. From Jobert's keen perspective, we perceive that Pharisaism did not die in ancient Judea; it continues to live today, wearing new clothes. It manifests itself when our Catholic practice becomes cold, judgmental, focused on the formalistic fulfillment of sterile rules while our hearts remain far from the suffering of our brothers and sisters. Jobert reminds us that God is not hungry for empty rites, But from broken hearts. Uniting this reflection with the wisdom of Saint Augustine and Saint John of the Cross, we understand that love is the only rule that gives meaning to all precepts. In the twilight of life, we will be judged by love. Watch, break the shackles of legalism and find your true Sabbath in the Heart of Jesus. In this video, we will meditate deeply on: Jobert's Meditation: The denunciation of "facade Catholicism" and the rescue of true devotion that springs from intimacy with God. The Hunger of the Disciples: Why Jesus defends the human need of His friends in the face of the inhuman demands of legalists. "I desire mercy, not sacrifice": The passage from the prophet Hosea used by Christ to unmask the spiritual pride of those who consider themselves perfect. The Lord of the Sabbath: The revelation of the divinity of Jesus, who invites us to rest from our own anxious attempts to save ourselves through works. Quotes from Jobert and From the Saints to Inflame Faith: ✨ "A law that does not generate love is a spiritual cage. Jesus did not come to give us more rules of religious etiquette, but to give us His own Heart as shelter." – Jobert ✨ "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. If your religion distances you from compassion for those who suffer, you are worshipping the rule and crucifying the Author of life." – Jobert ✨ "God does not need our sacrifices, but we need to offer Him something; however, the sacrifice that pleases Him most is a heart that inclines with mercy over the misery of others." – Saint Augustine ✨ "In the twilight of life, we will be judged by love. Outside of love, any penance, fasting, or sacrifice is nothing but smoke that the wind scatters." – Saint John of the Cross ✨ "The legalist uses the law as a shield to hide his inability to love." "The disciple uses mercy as a bridge to bring the sinner closer to the Savior." 🔔 Subscribe to the channel to shield your spiritual life with the firmness of Tradition and Jobert's meditations. 👍 Leave your Like if you wish to live a faith free from judgment and full of the Spirit of God. 💬 Comment: Have you ever felt the coldness of others' judgment on your journey of faith and understood the beauty of Jesus' merciful embrace? #FrDimarLuiz #Jobert #LordOfTheSaturday #Matthew12 #Mercy #NoLegalism #HeartOfJesus #DailyHomily #GospelOfTheDay #OrdinaryTime2026 🔔 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PARTNER CHANNELS: Juninho ➜    / @itamarjunior1936   Pascom Pv ➜    / @pascompv7384   Diocese of Araçuaí ➜    / @pascomdiocesedearacuai3074
