Interpretation of the Sunday Gospel with Father Isaak Maria Käfferlein OCist from the Cistercian monastery Priorat Neuzelle @Cistercian Neuzelle October 6, 2024, 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B) Mark 10: 2-16: At that time Pharisees came to Jesus and asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" They wanted to test him. He answered them, "What did Moses command you?" They said, "Moses permitted a certificate of divorce and the divorce of a woman." Jesus answered them, "It is because of your hardness of heart that he gave you this commandment. But at the beginning of creation God created them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. But what God has joined together, man must not separate. At home the disciples asked him again about it. He answered them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery. Then children were brought to him so that he might touch them. But the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it." And he took the children in his arms, and laid his hands on them and blessed them.
