Amos 5:21

“The prophets of the Old Covenant often denounced sacrifices that were not from the heart or not coupled with love of neighbor.” — Catechism footnote: Cf. Am 5:21-25; Isa 1:10-20.

“…your fasting, and feasts, and ceremonies my soul hateth;” also by Amos, “I hate, I despise your feast-days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies;” and again by Hosea, “I will cause to cease all her mirth, and her feast-days, and her sabbaths, and her new moons, and all her solemn assemblies.”” — editor's note: Amos v. 21.
