Saturday after Ash Wednesday

Jesus saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the customs post.
He said to him, "Follow me."
And leaving everything behind, he got up and followed him.
Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house,
and a large crowd of tax collectors
and others were at table with them.
The Pharisees and their scribes complained to his disciples, saying,
"Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"
Jesus said to them in reply,
"Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do.
I have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners." (Lk 5:27-32)

***

Lord Jesus, as you called Levi,
you called me to follow you.
Not because I am worthy.
Not because I am qualified.
Not because there is anything I can give.
But because you know I need you,
and you alone can heal my broken soul.
Thank you, Lord.
Make me an instrument of your healing.
Make me an instrument of you love.

***

Have a holy Lent.
