They had distorted the meaning of the Sabbath just like so much of the law God had revealed to Moses and Jesus came to restore it, but rather than be converted, they sought to kill the messenger. Jesus withdrew and took many people with him away from the Pharisees and their false leaven. In the first reading today we see the Israelites leave Ramses as a result of the Passover. The whole scene of the exodus is about true worship. God wanted his people to go to the desert for a retreat, to pray for three days, to restore them to their full dignity through worship of him, which would reestablish them in his image and strengthen them to love according to his standard. But Pharaoh refused. Both the exodus and Jesus&#8217; fulfillment of the Passover was about restoring true worship. What we discussed yesterday in the liturgical prescriptions of the Passover rite was meant to help us to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice wholly and acceptable to God, our spiritual worship, in the new and eternal Passover of Jesus&#8217; body and blood. This worship of God is supposed to transform us, but that is something that the Pharisees resisted.<\/li>\n<li>How is it supposed to transform us? It&#8217;s supposed to make us more and more like God. Earlier this week, Jesus said, &#8220;Learn me, for I am meek and humble of heart.&#8221; Today we see God the Father give witness to that meekness and humility in the saying from the Suffering Servant Song of Isaiah that was incorporated into St. Matthew&#8217;s Account: &#8220;<em>Behold, my servant [the Greek word, <\/em>pais<em>, is better translated obedient Son] whom I have chosen,\u00a0my beloved in whom I delight;\u00a0I shall place my Spirit upon him,\u00a0and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.\u00a0He will not contend or cry out,\u00a0nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.\u00a0A bruised reed he will not break,\u00a0a smoldering wick he will not quench,\u00a0until he brings justice to victory.\u00a0And in his name the Gentiles will hope.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>Meekness, as I mentioned, is not weakness but a strength that doesn&#8217;t have to show itself in order to satisfy one&#8217;s need for superiority. It&#8217;s the self-discipline of a martial arts expert who doesn&#8217;t have to break someone when his dignity is offended, because it&#8217;s connected to humility. Jesus could have broken the Pharisees. He could have extinguished them. But he didn&#8217;t break their bruised reeds or smoldering wicks. He didn&#8217;t need to. Instead, Jesus meek and humble of heart, because to serve others, curing all those who were with him.<\/li>\n<li>Both of these lessons lead us to focus on today&#8217;s feast of St. Camillus de Lellis. His true worship, and his meekness and humility, led him to found a religious order dedicated to caring for the sick even at the cost of their own life. When he was young, he had a terrible temper. He joined the military as a means of handling his aggression, but it only increased his violence. But after he got a leg infection, the Capuchins caring for him really led him to conversion at the age of 25. He couldn&#8217;t join them because his leg injury was incurable, but he was cared for in Rome by the Hospitallers of St. John in such a way that he used his organizational skills, talents, and charity to revolutionize the type of care that was given to incurables in their clinic. And he surrounded himself by others to give spiritual care in addition to care at the risk of their lives even for those with the plague.<\/li>\n<li>Today as we come forward, we ask the Lord for the grace to give him true worship today, that will transform us to be meek and humble like the Savior we&#8217;re about to receive, and become so sensitive to him in the Eucharist that we will continue St. Camillus&#8217; work of seeking to bring Jesus and his healing to all those in need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The readings for today&#8217;s Mass were:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div
