Luke 5:  ³¹ Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick."

Jesus was eating with Levi and his tax collector friends.  The righteous ones want to know why he keeps such company.

On this Sunday, I am thinking about the company I keep.  Last summer, when things were so bad, I considered leaving my church.  No one there seemed to care. 

Now trying times are here again.  Again, the indifference of people has me wondering.  I know that I do not "hear the cries of the needy" either.  Do we live in a sick society?  Are we focused on the "idols" and not on the love for our fellow man?  Do we rush right by the "sick" ones--the ones who need us most?

Prayer:  O. Lord, guide my steps to those who need to hear Your voice.  Help me to say and do the right things to further the plan You have for me and "the least of these, my brethren."
Amen
