Daily Inspiration

“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.” -Mark 2:13-17

Jesus calls to each of us and says, “Follow Me.” If we get up and follow Him, Christ will enter into our house, too. Often, we fail to see this unseen miracle, so Christ gives us the Eucharist, a physical action where He enters into our being as we dine with Him at table.

Even in this, we often fail to appreciate the miracle that unfolds before us. Our God, the King of the universe, enters into time and space to call to us. He enters into our life, soul, and very being to celebrate our life through Him. He comes not only for the just but for the sinner, too, for you, me, and all those in most need of His healing.

Saint Hilary of Poitiers, pray for us.
