GOD IS ENOUGH
Saturday after Ash Wednesay
Luke 5-27-32
Better a humble sinner than a self righteous saint.
Our Gospel present to us two different types of persons- the sinner (Levi) and the self-rigtheous (Pharisees). The sick and those who pretend to be healthy. In today’s gospel it tells us that Jesus did not come to call the righteous. He is here for the sick. “Those who are well have no need of a physician”. He is inviting us to follow Him. Have yourself check to our Divine physician.
Levi was an outcast, unwanted, despised, hated because of his profession. Someone no one wants to be around. You know what, our sins makes us the modern Levi but I have goodnews to tell you-the world may not care about us but God does. Yes, He does! He hates our sins but He loves us. I made mistakes, I messed up, I am not perfect but God’s grace is perfect and greater than my sins. We maybe a great sinner but the goodnews is, we have a greater savior.
When Jesus invited Levi to follow Him; Levi left everything and gave a great banquet in his house. Levi understand that Jesus is more important than his wealth and his career. Friends, like Levi repent and rejoice. When we found Jesus we have the great reason to celebrate and initiate a party. The Eucharist is always party because it is celebration of a sinner who found a saviour. "Eucharist is 'not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak”. (Pope Francis) Brothers and sisters don’t miss to attend the party everyday. Jesus is waiting for you!
Blessings
