In the synagogue, the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees were watching Jesus closely in order to find something to accuse him of.
Why do people go to church or places of worship? Evidently, it is to pray. However, there are times when you listen to some regular churchgoers and you cannot help wondering: Did they really go to worship God? For, once the service is over, they come to you and share with you everything they found wrong with the priest’s manner of doing the Mass or preaching the homily. They comment about latecomers. They criticize the faithful departed, those who leave before the Mass ends. They complain about the disorder caused by children and mourn the absence of youth at the Mass.
They accuse the pastor for bringing up financial needs and forcing a second collection. And of course, the choir—wasn’t it terrible?
Why do I go to church?
