FRIDAY 2
Mark 2:13-22
God of mercy, we rejoice that Jesus
did not limit his call to discipleship to people who had already demonstrated a
great aptitude for following, or who had proven themselves righteous, or
We rejoice that You have extended that call to us, in our unworthiness,
and that You have enabled us to follow Jesus with some measure of fidelity.
Continue the work of healing and transformation that You have begun in
us. Help us not to try to squeeze your gifts into lives and structures that are
not prepared to receive newness and help us to discern when radical change is
necessary within us in order for us to carry your presence into the world.
Enable us to welcome others as Jesus welcomed us. Enable us to live our
lives with great joy because of Christ’s presence among us. May we celebrate
that presence with many who answer the call of Jesus. Amen.
