Today's Gospel speaks about the hypocrisy of man's law. Today, like the Pharisees, men make hypocritical laws forgetting about morality.
Luke 11:37-41
37 After Jesus had spoken, a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home. He entered and reclined at table to eat. 38 The Pharisee was amazed to see that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal. 39 The Lord said to him, “Oh you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, inside you are filled with plunder and evil. 40 You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside? 41 But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you.”
Let us not be like the Pharisees. Let us not repeat their mistakes.

Reflection:
Do we really follow God's will? Are we living a life like the Pharisees? In today's modern world, you will find many quotes posted in facebook, twitter and etc. about following God. I bet most of us post such quotes, but the question is, do we really apply them in our lives? Or are we just like the Pharisees living lives in superficiality and legality?
