reading from the holy gospel according to luke glory to you oh lord jesus saw a tax collector named levi sitting at the customs post he said to him follow me and leaving everything behind he got up and followed him [Music] then levi gave a great banquet for him in his house and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were at table with them the pharisees and the scribes complained to his disciples saying why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners jesus answered jesus said to them in reply those who are healthy do not need a physician but the sikh do i have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners the gospel of the lord praise to you lord jesus christ please be seated my dear brothers and sisters to the scribes and pharisees who were criticizing jesus for eating with sinners jesus said 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 by saying this jesus likens himself to a physician to a doctor whose mission is to heal and by saying this jesus also means that in order to be healed one has to admit that one is sick in order to be forgiven one has to admit that one has sinned [Music] is important in order to be healed and to be forgiven in our catechism this is called contrition is the humble admission of one's sins is important because according to our catechism it is the first act of the penitent contrition is what drives us to go to confession [Music] [Music] [Music] is [Music] foreign is important because contrition is the first step to healing and forgiveness we have to admit that we have sinned in order to receive forgiveness but contrition is only one part admission of one's sins is only one part the other part is the resolve not to sin again that completes the picture of contrition contrition is not just the humble admission that i have sinned contrition is also my resolve not to sin again and this is hinted in our first reading today where god asks us even begs us to remove from our maids sin oppression anything that we do against our neighbors and replace them with good [Music] and the sincerity of our contrition lies in that resolve [Music] foreign my dear brothers and sisters this lent and season god gives us the opportunity to examine ourselves to admit the many sins that we have committed and to go to confession to ask for his forgiveness there is nothing wrong in admitting that we are sick and that we have sinned [Music] ali there is nothing wrong in being humble and admitting our sins before god for after all that is the reason why jesus came jesus came precisely for you for sinners for healing for forgiveness of sins and for salvation please all stand christ came to call sinners offering them salvation with humility of spirit aware of his call let us bring our prayers to the father for every petition let us say lord hear our prayer lord hear our prayer that the church may be seen as the
