I am back from my 8 day retreat at the Mary and Joseph Retreat Center. A lot went on during those 8 days, of course, but one of the more curious incidents was when i was talking to my Spiritual Director about my becoming a Catholic, as if the BVM had called me personally.
This brought us around the the topic of a painting I can identify with, of a man being called by Jesus, and reacting with a surprised “Who, me?” Here is the painting…

When I get some spare change, I’d like to buy a print of this painting, 'cause I can identify so well with Levi (soon to be renamed Matthew).:yup:
