“If you want God to hear your prayers, hear the voice of the poor. If you wish God to anticipate your wants, provide those of the needy without waiting for them to ask you. Especially anticipate the needs of those who are ashamed to beg. To make them ask for alms is to make them buy it.”

Mark 2:13-17
In our reading today, we hear that Jesus did not come to call the rightness, but He came to call the sinners. Sometimes, we need help understanding what Jesus is telling us. He has unconditional love for us no matter what we do in our lives. He forgives us our sins unconditionally because that was part of His unshakeable faith.
Lord God, thank You for Your love for each of us and for allowing us to be forgiven for our sins. Help us remember that we need to forgive one another as well. You have set an example for us, so help us follow Your lead when we need to forgive one another.

Mark 2:1-12
Saint Anthony, Abbott
In our Gospel reading today, we have a man who is paralyzed and has lost his faith, but his friends carry him to Jesus for healing. His friends have the faith to ask Jesus for his healing, and their faith in Jesus has healed their friend. How is your faith? How do you grow your own gift of faith?
Lord, we come to You this day to thank You for the gift of friends in our lives. Help us to grow the gift of faith we received when we were baptized so we can continue to do what You have called us to do.

Mark 1:40-45
God is inviting us to listen deeply. If today you hear God’s voice, how will you respond? You may have to have ears to hear that voice. You may also need to awaken the cells of our bodies so we may hear His voice.
Creator God, help us develop our listening skills so we may hear Your voice in the stillness of our hearts. Quiet ourselves down with all of the business so we can pause and hear Your voice. Listening to Your voice will sometimes call for a response from us. Let us be open to hearing and responding to Your word. Thank You, God.
