your majesty through our lord jesus christ your son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit god for ever and ever amen a reading from the book of the prophet isaiah thus says the lord if you remove from your midst oppression false accusation and malicious speech if you bestow your bread on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted then light shall rise for you in the darkness and the gloom shall become for you like midday then the lord will guide you always and give you plenty even on the parched land he will renew your strength and you shall be like a watered garden like a spring whose water never fails the ancient ruins shall be rebuilt for your sake and the foundations from ages past you shall raise up repairer of the breach they shall call you restorer of ruined homesteads if you hold back your foot on the sabbath from following your own pursuits on my holy day if you call the sabbath a delight and the lord's holy day honorable if you honor it not by not following your ways seeking your own interests or speaking with malice then you shall delight in the lord and i will make you ride on the heights of the earth i will nourish you with the heritage of jacob your father for the mouth of the lord has spoken the word of the lord thanks be to god teach me your way o lord that i may walk in your truth teach me your way o lord that i may walk in your

lord be with you and with your spirit a reading from the holy gospel according to luke glory to you o 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 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 their scribes complained to his disciples saying why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners jesus said to them in reply 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 the gospel of the lord praise to you lord jesus christ in today's gospel passage the scribes and the pharisees asked jesus why it is that he eats with tax collectors and sinners for them eating with tax collectors and sinners was to risk being contaminated by them for them it was better to keep oneself separate from such people in order to preserve one's own moral health but jesus wasn't concerned about that rather than the sin of others infecting him he knew that his goodness the goodness of his father in heaven would in fact or transform them the lord is never reduced by our failings rather we are always enriched by the lord's holiness that's why the lord doesn't separate himself from us even when we might be tempted to separate ourselves from him because of what we have done or because of what we have failed to do the lord is always ready to sit with us to break bread with us to enter into communion with us so that in our weakness we might draw from his strength and in our many failings we may draw from his goodness and from his love recognizing our need for the mercy and the grace of god we now turn to him with
