Mateus 12,1-8 | Homilia | 17/07/2026 | A Misericórdia Vem Antes das Regras

Gospel of the Day – July 17, 2026 (Matthew 12:1-8) In this homily for Friday of the 15th Week in Ordinary Time, Jesus teaches us that God desires a merciful heart rather than a cold observance of rules. What does the phrase "I desire mercy, not sacrifice" mean? How can we live an authentic faith, faithful to the Gospel and full of compassion? In this video, we reflect on: The true meaning of the Sabbath. The difference between legalism and holiness. How to avoid a religion without love. What Jesus wants to transform in our hearts today.
