Is
58, 9-14;
Sal 85;
Lc. 5, 27-32
'healthy need not a physician but the sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners ... 'What greatest comfort are the words of Jesus. Comfort and hope that we move to more love, that move us to conversion.
When you feel overwhelmed by the evil he has done, for his sins, he wants to leave everything and of course do not want to be in the presence of which is good and right and your life can be a reproach to our sin . Perhaps we have happened on occasion that when we are troubled by the sin we have committed, we do not know what to say to the Lord and almost what we want is to get away and in his presence because we do not consider him worthy to stand before 'Depart for me, a sinner ', said Peter as he felt the power and greatness of the Lord's miraculous catch in the lake, he had been tempted not to trust the word of Jesus that sent him to cast their nets.
why I say what a comfort to hear these words from Jesus because that gives us the confidence to approach Him knowing that we will have the health and salvation. A doctor and the Savior who comes to restore our lives.
However, what other thought the Pharisees and the scribes that appear there. Jesus invited Levi to follow 'and he left all, rose and followed him' . But his joy in following Jesus offers a feast. There it is Jesus and his disciples, but there are also friends and professional colleagues of Levi, the tax collectors. But we know everyone is measured with the same size and because they were tax collectors and all were sinners.
'How is that Jesus eats with publicans and sinners? " was the question, blame, complaint or claim to believe that those who are righteous and perfect Jesus eat with tax collectors and friends of Levi, his new disciple. Moreover, do not say directly to Jesus, but they will tell the disciples. Any form of wanting to discredit the teacher? Was to sow doubt.
But soon is the reply of Jesus that gives us much comfort and fills us with hope even though we consider ourselves sinners and not worthy of being with Jesus. But Jesus has called for a publican to be his disciples and Jesus sits at the table of the publican recaudores surrounded by all friends of Levi by their own profession and were considered sinners.
When we feel and the compassion and mercy of the Lord in our lives we feel more motivated to get in the way of Jesus by repenting of our sins, changing our lives and our hearts. So in we must have new attitudes. So now our lives will be full of light.
When you do that change your life, this conversion and has these new attitudes, 'when pointing of oppression, and calumny, threatening gesture, when share your bread with the hungry and satisfy the stomach of the indigent, shine your light in the darkness, the darkness will become lunch ', will turn upon us the blessings of the Lord as we continue describing the prophet.
is that 'the Lord is good and gracious, full of mercy and heard my cry for mercy ...' What can we ask the Lord? What we have said in the psalm. 'Teach me, Lord, your way, to follow your truth. " we learn, yes, ways of the Lord and follow. Should not we follow who so loves us and bring us salvation! 'Look at our weakness and extends compassion on Thy mighty hand, "we asked also in liturgical prayer.
