Isaiah 58:9-14:
***Thus says the Lord: If you remove from your midst oppression, false accusation and malicious speech; if you bestow your bread on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted; then light shall rise for you in the darkness, and the gloom shall become for you like midday; then the Lord will guide you always and give you plenty even on the parched land. ***He will renew your strength, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails. The ancient ruins shall be rebuilt for your sake, and the foundations from ages past you shall raise up; “Repairer of the breach,” they shall call you, “Restorer of ruined homesteads.” If you hold back your foot on the Sabbath from following your own pursuits on my holy day; if you call the Sabbath a delight and the Lord’s holy day honorable; if you honor it by not following your ways, seeking your own interest or speaking with malice - then you shall delight in the Lord and I will make you rise on the heights of the earth; I will nourish you with the heritage of Jacob, your father, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
Psalm 86: Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth…
St. Luke 5:27-32:
Jesus saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the customs post. He said to him, “Follow me.” And leaving everything behind, he got up and followed him. Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and thieves were at table with them. The Pharisees and their scribes complained to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” ***Jesus said to them in reply, “Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do. I have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners.” ***
*This passage (1st one) makes me feel guilty because i don’t do as much as i could for the less fortunate. I keep telling myself i will do this or that but somehow never get around to it (always forget… gotta a mind full of clutter these days…:hypno:
uch: :banghead: ). I don’t know too many less fortunate than myself…
but i know there are some in Africa…
Anyway, if there any priests out there, you can absolve me now
and i promise to do better… really.
I’m so thankful for Jesus who knows how unhealthy i am and how much i need Him to “come to call” me…
