Comentario al evangelio. Domingo 26º Ordinario, ciclo A

The Diocese of Jaca released a commentary by Ricardo Mur regarding the Gospel for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle A. Mur explains that Jesus issued a harsh judgment against the high priests and leaders of the people, stating that tax collectors and prostitutes are ahead of them on the path to the Kingdom of God.

Mur compares the sinners to the first son in the parable, noting that although their words were not always appropriate, they believed in Christ and converted through his preaching. He describes the leaders of the Jewish people as the second son, who maintain a respectful outward appearance but fail to obey God.

The commentary emphasizes that words are ineffective without corresponding actions. Mur warns that people who live double lives or say one thing while doing another are building their lives on sand and face eventual failure. He concludes that while Jesus is compassionate toward all people, he remains firm against those who lack true conviction and live superficially.
