“Follow me.”

Gospel mk 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.”

 

Refection question: Do I take time each day to pray that the word of God may be calling me to places I may not like venturing towards? Do I trust the Lord to let him lead and guide me when I resist his calling through the voice of family and friends? Today I will pray that my heart and soul would be open to Him alone.
 

Prayer: Lord God, help me to be open to whomever and whatever you are calling me to be in life. Help me to resist unnecessary worries when it comes to my future. Help me to lean on you and others whom you have placed in my life that they would help me towards you alone. Amen.
