Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Blindness of our Sins” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, the Pharisees complained to the disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” They were “blind to their own sins. Ponder on, “Do we judge and get angry with the sins of others? But, are we too blind to our own sins? Jesus’ Mercy forgives every sinner, who repents of their sins with sincerity.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 5:27-32
Jesus noticed a tax collector, Levi by name, sitting at the tax office, and said to him, ‘Follow me.’ And leaving everything Levi got up and followed him. In his honour Levi held a great reception in his house and with them at table was a large gathering of tax collectors and others.
The Pharisees and their scribes complained to his disciples and said, ‘Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?’ Jesus said to them in reply, ‘It is not those that are well who need the doctor, but the sick. I have come to call not the upright but sinners to repentance.’
