1 Samuel 9:1-4, 17-19, 10:1; Ps 30; Mark 2:13-17

Not the virtuous, but sinners

Richard Rohr says that ‘my ticket to Eucharist, to life, is unworthiness,’ The Lord calls me constantly, and makes me worthy – ‘only say the word and my soul shall be healed,’ It is an immense consolation that Jesus’ compassion embraces us sinners, and says to us, ‘follow me’, at every moment of our lives.
