Needing A Physician

When criticized by the Pharisees for eating with "sinners and tax collectors" (Mk 2:14) Jesus retorted that "those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do," and the he came to call sinners, not the righteous. (Mk 2:17). These words are consoling for us, who look in the mirror and see sinner, not righteous. May we remain humble in accepting ourselves as we are and take advantage of the sacrament of Reconciliation at least monthly and take time each evening for a brief examen of conscience or review of the day, asking pardon and giving thanks.
