Daily Prayer & Reading for January 14, 2023
It is so hard, Lord, to watch loved ones suffer. Whether it be a common cold or a life-threatening disease, their pain sometimes leaves me with doubts about Your love for us. Help me to remember that everything You do is for a reason, and to trust in You always. Amen.
Mark 2: 13-17
Jesus went out along the sea.
All the crowd came to him and he taught them.
As he passed by, he saw Levi, son of Alphaeus,
sitting at the customs post.
Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
And he got up and followed Jesus.
While he was at table in his house,
many tax collectors and sinners sat with Jesus and his disciples;
for there were many who followed him.
Some scribes who were Pharisees saw that Jesus was eating with sinners
and tax collectors and said to his disciples,
“Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
Jesus heard this and said to them,
“Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do.
I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.”

Es tan duro, Señor, ver sufrir a los seres queridos. Ya sea un resfriado común o una enfermedad que amenaza la vida, su dolor a veces me hace dudar de Tu amor por nosotros. Ayúdame a recordar que todo lo que Tú haces es por una razón, y a confiar siempre en Ti. Amén.
Mc 2, 13-17
En aquel tiempo, Jesús salió de nuevo a caminar por la orilla del lago; toda la muchedumbre lo seguía y él les hablaba. Al pasar, vio a Leví (Mateo), el hijo de Alfeo, sentado en el banco de los impuestos, y le dijo: “Sígueme”. Él se levantó y lo siguió.
Mientras Jesús estaba a la mesa en casa de Leví, muchos publicanos y pecadores se sentaron a la mesa junto con Jesús y sus discípulos, porque eran muchos los que lo seguían. Entonces unos escribas de la secta de los fariseos, viéndolo comer con los pecadores y publicanos, preguntaron a sus discípulos: “¿Por qué su maestro come y bebe en compañía de publicanos y pecadores?”
Habiendo oído esto, Jesús les dijo: “No son los sanos los que tienen necesidad del médico, sino los enfermos. Yo no he venido para llamar a los justos, sino a los pecadores”.
