“Now while he was at table in the house it happened that a number of
tax collectors and sinners came to sit at the table with Jesus and his disciples. When the Pharisees
saw this, they said to his disciples, ‘Why does your master eat with tax collectors and sinners?’
When he heard this he replied, ‘It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick.” Matthew
9:10-12. St. John Chrysostom said, “Sin makes a man a coward; a life in the truth of Christ
makes him bold.” Let us pray, Lord Jesus, You associate with those who long for reform,
renewal, those who want to rise again in grace. Strengthen my weak bones that I may sit among
the elect like Matthew. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
