Matthew 9:9-13
As Jesus passed on
from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax office; and he said
to him, "Follow me." And he rose and followed him. And as he sat at
table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down
with Jesus and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his
disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and
sinners?" But when he heard it, he said, "Those who are well
have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what
this means, `I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.' For I came not to call the
righteous, but sinners."

Sa paghagit nan mga
Pharisee kan Jesus kon uno man na makigsayo pangaon man Sija sa mga public
sinner, an tubag ni Jesus na dili kinahanglan bisitahon nan doctor an mga tawo
na waya’y sakit.
An doctor, laong pa
Nija, an mokadto sa mga may sakit.
Si Lord an makakagagahum
sanan tinood na doctor na modajaw nan tibook kalawasan nan tawo – lawas, huna-huna
sanan espiritu.
Nokanhi si Jesus sa
kalibutan para dajawon an mga tawo na may sakit para mahibalik sila sa katibok’an
nan ila mga kinabuhi pinaagi nan Ija kalooy sanan gugma.
Mapasalamaton ba kita
kan Lord sa Ija kalooy nan tagpakita dato?

"Lord Jesus, our
Savior, let us now come to you: Our hearts are cold; Lord, warm them with your
selfless love. Our hearts are sinful; cleanse them with your precious blood.
Our hearts are weak; strengthen them with your joyous Spirit. Our hearts are
empty; fill them with your divine presence. Lord Jesus, our hearts are yours;
possess them always and only for yourself.”
