Lk 5:27-32

“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.”

Jesus always reached out to the marginalized and despised. Now, as his followers, it is up to us to do the same. In our acts of service and charity, do we do what is convenient and easy or do we go out of the way for the greatest need? If we follow Jesus, it will be the road less traveled. However, it will have the greatest reward. Our duty is to remove everything that lies in the way of that path, even if it is ourselves. This is not an easy task, and is one we have to work at each day. May God give us strength to do it! - Fr. Will
