Lk 6:1-5

The disciples are not “gathering grain,” which is considered work and forbidden on the Sabbath. They’re hungry. The Pharisees assume the worst and confront. Jesus defends his disciples and reminds the Pharisees of the Mosaic law. David had the authority to interpret the law then. Jesus, Son of God, is the Lord of the Sabbath.

Every day is a gift, but Lord’s Day is the high point. It is on that day that we are nourished and strengthened to move forward through the days ahead.
