Call to repentance

“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: 31-32)

When we recognize ourselves as sick and sinners, we can put all our trust in Him. He will take care of us; He will come as a physician and as a protector; Saviour and Redeemer. When we think that we are healthy and righteous, He can’t help us. Lent is the perfect time to stay in truth and recognize our weakness and wickedness, which is not an obstacle but an amazing place of encounter with God’s love and power.

“I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked man, says the Lord, but rather in his conversion, that he may live.” (Gospel Acclamation)
