If we lived our lives in Your presence Lord, we will recognise and see Your loving hand in all things. We would constantly be in awe of Your great love for us;praising and thanking You all our lives. But we are a fallen people Lord often blinded by Sin.
Still in Your great love and mercy You seek us out Lord Jesus. It does not matter to You how soiled we are or how lowly and poorly we have lived our lives. You invite us to come follow You and with our Yes Your loving mercy is upon us and we are transformed by Your love. Grant us the Grace to remain steadfast in Your love.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Amen

GOSPEL
Mark 2:13–17
Jesus went out along the sea. All the crowd came to him and he taught them. As he passed by, he saw Levi, son of Alphaeus, sitting at the customs post. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed Jesus. While he was at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners sat with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many who followed him. Some scribes who were Pharisees saw that Jesus was eating with sinners and tax collectors and said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” Jesus heard this and said to them, “Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.”
