John answered them all, saying,\u00a0\u201cI am baptizing you with water, but one mightier than I is coming. I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.\u201d After all the people had been baptized\u00a0and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying,\u00a0heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove.\u00a0And a voice came from Heaven,\u00a0\u201cYou are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord, fill my heart with expectation. Fill me with joyful anticipation of your peace, love, and mercy. May I gratefully remember the gifts the Holy Spirit gives to me: Understanding, Knowledge, Fortitude, Counsel, Wisdom, Piety, and Fear of the Lord. Continue to work in my heart, bringing me closer to you.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Not Worthy:<\/strong> John the Baptist, a great saint and man of God, realized that he was truly not worthy to loosen the thong of Jesus\u2019 sandals\u2014a lowly task performed by a servant. We see this in all of the saints: this instinctive knowledge that no matter what we accomplish or how holy we become, we can never be worthy of Christ\u2019s love. Although we are exhorted to be \u201cperfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect\u201d (Mt 5:48), we can take comfort in knowing that \u201cfor human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God\u201d (Mk 10:27).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The Holy Spirit and Fire:<\/strong> John\u2019s words were a foretelling of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit would descend in tongues of fire, inspiring the frightened and bereaved Apostles to leave their hiding place and go out and preach the Good News. One of the single greatest proofs that Jesus is the Messiah is the story of Pentecost. The followers of Jesus were in fear for their own lives after seeing their beloved Rabbi brutally executed. They were in hiding, convinced that the soldiers would finish them off if they were found. Yet something happened in their hiding place that transformed these fugitives into bold proclaimers of the Good News. There is no human explanation for this. It could only be the power of God Almighty that compelled this group of men from a poor, occupied country to become the fearless leaders of the greatest religious movement the world has ever known.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The Gift of Baptism:<\/strong> In his public ministry, Jesus often made choices that illuminated a path for his followers. His decision to be baptized points to the beauty and necessity of our own Baptism. The fact that the man baptizing him claimed to be unworthy reminds us that none of us, whether priest or laity, is worthy. \u201cAll have sinned and are deprived of the glory of God\u201d (Rom 3:23). Our faith is in God, not in his sometimes imperfect messengers. In C.S. Lewis\u2019s book <em>The Screwtape Letters<\/em>, he depicted a senior devil advising his protegee that the best time to distract a Christian is when he is at worship. He advised the junior devil to fill the mind of the Christian with judgmental thoughts about the priest and his fellow worshippers. Truly, the enemy of our souls would love to pull us away from the need for Baptism and the other sacraments by distracting us with negative thoughts about a particular priest or the Church in general. But Jesus powerfully reminds us by his own Baptism to keep our eyes on God and his gifts of the sacraments. Here in Scripture we see the first sacrament\u2014Baptism\u2014administered to the Lord by a man who acknowledged his own unworthiness. And the importance of this moment was reinforced by an audible voice from Heaven proclaiming, \u201cYou are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conversation with Christ:<\/strong> Lord, quiet my heart. I thank you for this time with you. I know that all you did during your time on earth was done with purpose. Teach me to gratefully embrace and seek out the sacraments. Help me keep my focus on you.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will take advantage of your promptings to receive the sacraments, whether it is to attend daily Mass, to sit in Adoration, or to go to Reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Further Reflection<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Screwtape-Letters-C-S-Lewis\/dp\/0786172797\/ref=asc_df_0786172797\/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=344089412818&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=16777068890821591691&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9007811&amp;hvtargid=pla-587182728627&amp;psc=1&amp;tag=&amp;ref=&amp;adgrpid=69543897032&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvadid=344089412818&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=16777068890821591691&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9007811&amp;hvtargid=pla-587182728627\"><em>The Screwtape Letters<\/em><\/a> by C.S.

The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel.\u201d As he passed by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea; they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, \u201cCome after me, and I will make you fishers of men.\u201d Then they left their nets and followed him. He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets. Then he called them. So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord, quiet my mind. Help me to take a step back from my anxieties, cares, and worries and just rest quietly with you. I long to follow you and answer your call. Please give me the grace to do so today.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>John Arrested:<\/strong> John was enormously popular and regarded as a prophet. He publicly criticized King Herod for taking his own sister-in-law from his brother Philip and making her his wife. Herod was fascinated and confused by John the Baptist. His confusion was a result of hearing the truth but not wanting to make any changes in his life. When Herod arrested John, we can only imagine the impact that made on the crowds who revered John and had witnessed the amazing events surrounding the Baptism of Jesus. It was a period of growing uncertainty and political unrest. However, instead of being fearful or cautious, Jesus boldly used this moment to proclaim the time of fulfillment and the coming of the Kingdom of God. Nothing ever kept Jesus from speaking Truth. By his example, we are encouraged to put aside all fears of reaching out to others with Christ\u2019s love.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The Fishermen:<\/strong> Jesus called two sets of busy working men, Simon (Peter) and Andrew, and the brothers James and John, to abandon the tools of their livelihood and follow him. This is one of many times in Scripture where we see God call working people as they went about the business of their lives. Whether they were working the fields, fishing, or tending a flock, they were asked to abandon these tasks and answer his call. And so often, those called by God were simple folk, not particularly well-equipped for missionary activity. This certainly highlights the divine nature of the call. Only by the power of God can we fulfill our unique calling. \u201cThe Holy Spirit is the protagonist, \u2018the principal agent of the whole of the Church\u2019s mission\u2019\u201d (CCC 852).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>They Left Their Nets:<\/strong> How many pivotal times in the Bible we see God counting on a human \u201cyes!\u201d Moses agreed to confront Pharaoh, David accepted the call to defeat Goliath and become king. Most profoundly, Mary\u2019s <em>fiat <\/em>brought the Messiah into the world. Here we see four more \u201cyes\u201d responses to the call of the Spirit. Why does our all-powerful God seek a \u201cyes\u201d from human beings? Our \u201cyes\u201d to God is an expression of our free will, a gift God gave each of us so as to unite ourselves to him in love. \u201cBy free will, [man] is capable of directing himself toward his true good. He finds his perfection \u2018in seeking and loving what is true and good\u2019\u201d (CCC 1704). Every call is an invitation to love God more perfectly, and through him to love others.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conversation with Christ: <\/strong>Lord, I may not be called to be one of the Apostles, to be a king, or to be a famous follower of yours. I know that you are calling me to follow you nonetheless. I know that you are strong even though I am weak. Help me to trust in your strength. Today, as I ponder this particular Gospel, I ask that you make me open to your call for my life. Grant me wisdom and a servant\u2019s heart as I follow you.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will say a decade of the rosary, praying to discern more deeply God\u2019s call in my life.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Further Reflection<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredspace.ie\/content\/mark-114-20\"><em>Sacred Space:<\/em><\/a> Commentary on Mark 1:14-20.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cathy Stamper lives in Maryland with her husband, Mike.

The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes. In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; he cried out, \u201cWhat have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are\u2014the Holy One of God!\u201d\u00a0Jesus rebuked him and said, \u201cQuiet!\u00a0Come out of him!\u201d The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him. All were amazed and asked one another, \u201cWhat is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him.\u201d His fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord, your authority rings out through the ages. May I seek you with true humility each day as I encounter you in your Word. May I cling to you when the enemy of my soul agitates me with thoughts and anxieties that do not come from you. I give you thanks for your Word, which brings me comfort. May your grace remain with me and with all who are dear to me.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The Author Has Authority:<\/strong> The scribes were learned men who lectured the people with informed opinions on Scripture. The people were accustomed to seeing the scribes as leaders and authorities. Their teachings were revered. Suddenly, this young preacher Jesus was talking authoritatively about Scripture. His teaching was like nothing they had ever heard, infused with his divine knowledge and wisdom. The listeners began to understand things differently because the author of the word, God himself, was teaching, and his authority was unmistakable. \u201cLet us therefore yield ourselves and bow to the authority of the Holy Scriptures, which can neither err nor deceive\u201d (St. Augustine).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Casting Out Demons:<\/strong> Before this man with an unclean spirit, Jesus\u2019 authority was on perfect display. The crazed man ranted and raved, creating quite a scene, but Jesus wasn\u2019t drawn into his chaos. Jesus simply and commandingly ordered, \u201cQuiet! Come out of him!\u201d and the demon immediately obeyed. No wonder the crowds were amazed! Our modern conception of Jesus tends to focus on his mercy, his forgiveness, and his personal love for each of us. And, while these things are true, Jesus is also a God of infinite power and might. As creatures before our Creator, we owe him praise, humble adoration, and perfect obedience. \u201cYours, Lord, are greatness and might, majesty, victory, and splendor. For all in Heaven and on earth is yours; yours, Lord, is kingship; you are exalted as head over all\u201d (1 Chr 29:11).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Fame and Precedent: <\/strong>This tale of the devil\u2019s expulsion would be told again and again as Jesus\u2019 fame spread. The Gospel of Mark tells us of even more miraculous healings in which Jesus not only brought relief to the healed but belief to the witnesses. Jesus was setting a precedent for the Apostles and for the faithful today. The third luminous mystery, the Proclamation of the Kingdom, recalls this beautiful time in human history. If we are to be known for anything, let us be known for sharing our faith, not just in words, but in active service to everyone we encounter, in imitation of Our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> So often the devil besets me with regrets from the past and worries about the future. Lord, keep me centered in the present moment. Ground me in your word, and keep me aware of your love and your power over all evil and temptation. Help me to be a true extension of your power and might in the world today so that your Kingdom may be realized.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will seek out a concrete way to share the Gospel, whether through a social media post, a chat with a friend or neighbor, or serving a neighbor\u2019s need.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Further Reflection<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sacrament-Present-Moment-Jean-Pierre-Caussade\/dp\/0060618116\"><em>The Sacrament of the Present Moment<\/em><\/a> by Jean-Pierre de Caussade<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cathy Stamper lives in Maryland with her husband, Mike.

Simon\u2019s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever. They immediately told him about her. He approached, grasped her hand, and helped her up. Then the fever left her and she waited on them. When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were ill or possessed by demons. The whole town was gathered at the door. He cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons, not permitting them to speak because they knew him. Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed. Simon and those who were with him pursued him and on finding him said, \u201cEveryone is looking for you.\u201d He told them, \u201cLet us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come.\u201d So he went into their synagogues, preaching and driving out demons throughout the whole of Galilee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord, your power to heal and overcome darkness is as strong today as it was when you walked upon the earth. Strengthen my faith in your power, your goodness, and your plans for me and those I love. I believe; help my unbelief!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Compassionate Healer: <\/strong>Jesus left the synagogue where he had just astounded the congregation with his divine knowledge of Scripture and his power over a demon. When he entered the house of Simon and Andrew, he probably did so as a man who would have liked a hot meal and a rest! However, when he heard that Simon\u2019s mother-in-law was ill, he immediately healed her of her illness. No matter how weary he was, Jesus always drew strength from his Father to minister to the people. His innate compassion and love for everyone he encountered shone throughout the Gospel of Mark. Simon\u2019s mother-in-law was changed fundamentally by her healing experience of Christ. Not only was her illness gone, she felt a compelling desire to wait upon Jesus. She exemplifies the response we should all have when we personally encounter Christ in prayer, in the sacraments, and in others.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Ultimate Power:<\/strong> As the day of miracles seemed to draw to a close, the word was out in Capernaum that a healer was in their midst. Every family in town with a loved one suffering from physical illness or afflicted with demons rushed to Simon\u2019s house, hoping against hope that their loved ones might be healed. Jesus did not disappoint. It is hard to imagine how great the rejoicing must have been as seriously ill people were made well and people who were tormented and afflicted by demons were set free. Nothing like it had ever been recorded in human history! We gather as a community every Sunday at Mass. What is our expectation? Do we anticipate an increased sense of Christian friendship? Are we seeking a healing? A spiritual boost? We encounter Jesus, Son of the living God, who has the ultimate power to heal and strengthen us. He encourages us to hope in him.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Fueled by Prayer: <\/strong>Despite a long and eventful day, Jesus rose early the next morning to seek solitude. Physically fueled as he was by the hospitality of Simon\u2019s mother-in-law, he needed something more than a few extra hours of sleep. He needed the connection with his Father that prayer alone can provide. When the Apostles found Jesus and told him that everyone was looking for him, he responded with renewed purpose, and they left to preach in the neighboring villages throughout Galilee. If we want to be servants of God, we can imitate Jesus by making prayer our first priority.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Lord, teach me to seek you in prayer at the beginning of each and every day. Open my eyes to those who you are calling me to serve, and give me the grace to serve with love. Give me a grateful heart.

Be made clean.\u201d The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean. Then, warning him sternly, he dismissed him at once. Then he said to him, \u201cSee that you tell no one anything, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them.\u201d The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter. He spread the report abroad so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly. He remained outside in deserted places, and people kept coming to him from everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord, how I need your healing in my own life! Today I kneel before you, and I beg, that if you wish, I may be made clean.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Kneeling and Begging:<\/strong> Leprosy was a dreaded disease, and in the time of Jesus lepers were considered unclean and had to live segregated from society. The pain and discomfort of their illness were made even worse by the loss of the comfort they needed from other human beings. This leper was truly in a sad state. It took tremendous courage to break the societal rules isolating lepers and seek out Jesus. He prostrated himself and begged to be made clean. Even though this was a life or death matter for the leper, he didn\u2019t demand healing from Jesus. Instead, he told Jesus that he knew his healing would occur only if Jesus wished it. Is this our posture when interceding with the Lord for blessings, conversion, healings, etc.? Do we beg in the words Jesus taught us during his Agony in the Garden, \u201cYet, not as I will, but as you will\u201d (Mt 26:39)?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Healing Touch:<\/strong> The leper\u2019s bravery, faith, and humility were richly rewarded. Jesus did the unthinkable for a man of his time. He reached out and touched the leper, this man with a dreadful and highly contagious disease. Moved with pity, Jesus had not let the human revulsion and fear of contagion stop him from his healing mission. As \u201cother Christs\u201d we are called to reach out to the disenfranchised in much the same way Jesus did. Pope Francis calls all members of the church to be \u201cwelcoming those who do not think as we do, who do not have faith or who have lost it. Welcoming the persecuted, the unemployed. Welcoming the different cultures, of which our earth is so richly blessed. Welcoming sinners&#8230;\u201d (Pope Francis, July 12, 2015).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Can You Keep a Secret?:<\/strong> Did Jesus know that it would be almost impossible for the leper to keep this healing a secret? Perhaps the leper tried to keep the secret\u2014but how could he explain the fact that he had been deathly ill and was now the picture of health? As his amazing story spread throughout the region, Jesus and his followers felt the consequences. They couldn\u2019t enter a town openly because of the crowds. As we will see later in the Gospels, the crowds still came to Jesus, so his ministry wasn\u2019t thwarted by this man\u2019s disobedience. Truly, God is never limited by our actions. But he desires our faithfulness and fidelity for our own good.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Jesus, please make me aware of my deep need to be made clean. I place my mind, body, and soul into your care.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will make an act of faith, asking for healing of mind, body, and soul, if you will it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Further Reflection: <\/strong>Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, \u201cSit here while I go over there and pray.\u201d He took along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to feel sorrow and distress. Then he said to them, \u201cMy soul is sorrowful even to death. Remain here and keep watch with me.\u201d He advanced a little and fell prostrate in prayer, saying, \u201cMy Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet, not as I will, but as you will.\u201d When he returned to his disciples he found them asleep (Mt 26:36-40).<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cathy Stamper lives in Maryland with her husband, Mike.

Many gathered together so that there was no longer room for them, not even around the door, and he preached the word to them. They came bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. Unable to get near Jesus because of the crowd, they opened up the roof above him. After they had broken through, they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to him, \u201cChild, your sins are forgiven.\u201d Now some of the scribes were sitting there asking themselves, \u201cWhy does this man speak that way?\u00a0He is blaspheming. Who but God alone can forgive sins?\u201d Jesus immediately knew in his mind what\u00a0they were thinking to themselves,\u00a0so he said, \u201cWhy are you thinking such things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, \u2018Your sins are forgiven,\u2019 or to say, \u2018Rise, pick up your mat and walk\u2019? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth\u201d\u2014he said to the paralytic, \u201cI say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home.\u201d He rose, picked up his mat at once,\u00a0and went away in the sight of everyone. They were all astounded and glorified God, saying, \u201cWe have never seen anything like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord, soften my heart and teach me to lose my doubt. I love you; I have faith in you. I want to serve you, but sometimes doubt creeps in. Strengthen my faith and my trust in you. You alone are the source of life and healing.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Extraordinary: <\/strong>The readings of this First Week in Ordinary Time have depicted events that are anything but ordinary. Today\u2019s Gospel is no exception. Jesus had shown that he could heal lepers, free the possessed, and raise the dying. His popularity had exploded. Excitement was at a fever pitch. When the word got out that he was at home, the crowds who followed him unrelentingly gathered there as well. They were all looking for healing, meaning, purpose. We come to Jesus\u2019 home every Sunday. What are we looking for?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Friends Like This:<\/strong> The paralytic has some very devoted and loyal friends. Their faith and devotion moved the heart of Jesus and won for their friend the greatest of all gifts\u2014forgiveness of his sins. Jesus\u2019 message to us is clear: It is good to be physically well, but to avail ourselves of the sacrament of Reconciliation so as to be forgiven our sins is a far greater good. This paralytic, with the help of his friends, went to great lengths to encounter Christ. We have only to prepare our hearts and show up at church at the appointed time. How grateful are we for this experience of divine forgiveness? \u201cEvery time you go to confession, immerse yourself in my mercy, with great trust, so that I may pour the bounty of my grace upon your soul. When you approach the confessional, know this, that I myself am waiting there for you. I am only hidden by the priest, but I myself act in your soul. Here the misery of the soul meets the God of mercy\u2026\u201d) Jesus to Sr. Faustina, <em>Divine Mercy in My Soul<\/em>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>They Just Didn\u2019t Get It: <\/strong>One would think that the scribes, who had spent their lives studying Scripture, would recall the words of the prophets regarding the Messiah and realize that he was in their midst. Instead, they criticized Jesus and demanded to know why he thought he had the right to forgive sins. Jesus\u2019 brilliant response did three things: It established his authority to heal, it established his authority to forgive sins, and it held the door open for the scribes to accept the Messiah. Jesus, our Savior, is a God of second chances. He truly loves each one of us and wants us to enter into a loving relationship with him. Jesus can reach even the most hardened sinners.\u00a0Jacques Fesch was a murderer in the 1950s who experienced a profound conversion while in prison. He said of this experience: \u201cAt the end of my first year in prison, a powerful wave of emotion swept over me, causing deep and brutal suffering. Within the space of a few hours, I came into possession of faith, with absolute certainty. I believed \u2026 Grace came to me. A great joy flooded my soul, and above all a deep peace.\u201d Jacques Fesch is being considered for canonization. Truly no one is beyond the reach of Jesus\u2019 saving grace\u2014not the scribes who tried to derail his mission, not a man who found Our Lord while he was on death row\u2014no one.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> O my Lord, I am so grateful for two things: that you look beyond my prayer to see what I really need; and that you are a God of second chances. Often I pray for something and you do not grant what I ask. Later I see that you were working the whole time for the betterment of my soul. When I mess up, you are always there to redirect, transform, and forgive me.

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, \u201cFollow me.\u201d 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, \u201cWhy does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?\u201d\u00a0Jesus heard this and said to them, \u201cThose who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord, please give me the grace to answer your call. Free me from any wrong thinking or constraint that may hinder me. Teach me humility. Make me keenly aware of my need for your healing and your mercy as I read these words today.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Calling All Sinners: <\/strong>Jesus\u2019 fame is spread far and wide at this point in his ministry. He needed no one to help him succeed or make him more popular. We don\u2019t know why he called Levi, the tax collector, to follow him, but by doing so, Jesus sent a powerful message to those of us who may feel unwelcome or unworthy to be Christians. Clearly, the Kingdom of God is open to anyone who accepts the invitation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Tax Collectors and Sinners:<\/strong> It is especially significant that Jesus \u201cwas at table in his (Levi\u2019s) house.\u201d Eating a meal with someone, whether accepting or offering hospitality, can be a sign of intimate friendship. We break bread with those we love or those whom we wish to know better. In his book <em>A Meal with Jesus<\/em>, author Tim Chester says, \u201cHis (Jesus\u2019) mission strategy was a long meal, stretching into evening. He did evangelism and discipleship around a table with some grilled fish, a loaf of bread, and a pitcher of wine.\u201d Here, in this simple setting, Jesus was exercising his divine physicianship, showing his unconditional love for Matthew and his friends (cf. Mt 9:12). He has the same unchanging and perfect love for us.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Doctor, Doctor:<\/strong> Just in case the Pharisees or anyone else missed the point, Jesus drove it home with a clear analogy: People do not seek out medical care when they are well. It is when we are sick, injured, or infirm that we seek a doctor. Likewise, people who are full of their own righteousness are sometimes so intent on judging others that they do not always see their deep need for Christ\u2019s healing in their lives. \u201cAll have sinned\u201d (Rom 3:23). As sinners, we humbly acknowledge our sicknesses\u2014our attachments\u2014and leave the judgment of others to Christ. We seek with faith and hope our personal cure from the Divine Physician.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ: <\/strong>Jesus, how easily I can fall into the trap of judging other people. Please remind me that I will be judged the same way I judge others (cf. Mt 7:2). Soften my heart that I might look at my sinfulness with honesty and humbly come to you for the cure. Help me to look on the people in my life with love and mercy. I give you thanks for your love, grace, and mercy.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution: <\/strong>Lord, today by your grace I will pause before each meal to give praise and thanks for the food and drink you provide, also remembering your merciful love.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Further Reflection: <\/strong><em>A Meal With Jesus,<\/em> by Tim Chester.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cathy Stamper lives in Maryland with her husband, Mike.

Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding. When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, \u201cThey have no wine.\u201d And Jesus said to her, \u201cWoman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come.\u201d His mother said to the servers, \u201cDo whatever he tells you.\u201d Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told them, \u201cFill the jars with water.\u201d So they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, \u201cDraw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.\u201d So they took it. And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from\u2014although the servers who had drawn the water knew\u2014, the headwaiter called the bridegroom and said to him, \u201cEveryone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.\u201d Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs at Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer: <\/strong>Lord, I come before you as one of the participants in this wedding feast, along with Mary, putting myself beside her at the table as she approaches you with this problem. Like her, I renew my faith that you have the power to do great things in my life, in the world around me, and in my soul in prayer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>They Have No Wine:<\/strong> The hosts of this wedding had run out of the most important ingredient for their celebration. Wine is a symbol of joy and adds to the warmth of celebration. We can experience this kind of want, spiritually speaking, when we lack inspiration, fervor, zeal, or joy\u2014when we find ourselves dry and unmotivated. Mary is the one to go to. She brings our problems to Jesus. She is our mother and the first one to notice when we are down and in need of her Son. When we want to renew the source of our life and joy we can always turn to her, confident that she will intercede most powerfully for us with her Son. <br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li><strong>Fill the Jars with Water: <\/strong>In many places in the Gospels, Jesus began his miracles by working with ordinary things, like loaves and the fishes in the feeding of the five thousand, or like his bread and wine in the Eucharist. Here, to give these people the wine (joy, inspiration, fervor) that they need, he first asked them to give him what they had. In our moments of need and emptiness, it can seem we have absolutely nothing to give or that what we have to give is useless. Jesus wants us to give him what we have anyway. Then he uses it to do extraordinary miracles. This is what happens in every sacrament; in Holy Orders God makes an ordinary man into <em>another Christ; <\/em>in every Baptism he makes a human person the dwelling place of the Holy Trinity. He often shows his power and glory by giving us great gifts using ordinary means, so let\u2019s not hesitate to surrender everything to him.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Kept the Good Wine Until Now: <\/strong>The result of Jesus\u2019 action surprised the wine expert. The wine he made was better than what they had before and was more abundant than they needed. No matter where we are on our spiritual path, we can always be open to deeper transformation, knowing that when we run out of what we think we need, he will take us by surprise. He will change our emptiness, our need, the little we have to offer, into something beautiful, superabundant, and everlasting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Lord, here is my little effort, the little bit I have to offer you. I give you my prayer this morning, knowing you draw good out of my effort. I give you my vocation and my work. These are also \u201cjars of water\u201d that you can turn into wine. I count on you to make the things I do bear fruit beyond my imagination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I offer you an area of my life where I am running out of what I need. I ask you to fill up what is lacking, in trust that you will.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Further Reflection:<\/strong> \u201cHow often we say: \u2018I must change, I can\u2019t go on like this \u2026 My life, on this path, will not bear fruit, it will be a useless life and I will not be happy.\u2019 How often these thoughts come to us. \u2026 And Jesus by our side, with his hand outstretched, says to us, \u2018Come, come to me. I will do the work: I will change your heart, I will change your life, I will make you happy.\u2019 \u2026 Jesus is with us and invites us to change our life. It is he, with the Holy Spirit, who sows in us this restlessness, to change our life and to become a little better\u201d (Pope Francis, General Audience, June 18, 2016).<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fr.
