Proper 17, Year A

Readings 

First:  
Song of Solomon 2:8-13 - the song of the beloved - Look, he comes, leaping upon the mountains, bounding over the hills, saying "Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away, for .. the flowers appear on the earth ..."
OR
Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 6-9:   "You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it; that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you."

 Psalm: 14 - The just will live in the presence of the Lord / Lord who shall dwell on your holy mountain

 Second: James 1:17-27 -  live true to the true Law

 Gospel:  Mark 7:1-8, 14-15,21-23 -  The Pharisees challenge Jesus because his disciples don't follow their interpretation of the law.  Jesus condemns them for their hypocrisy and use (abuse) of God's Law to oppress people. He lists the things that defile people, knowing that some of these sins were being committed by his listeners.


Themes

God's Law is wisdom and truth, doing God's will rather than human traditions.   Keeping the commandments - living by God's word.
