Jesus wants us to help those on the margins on society and those who seem beyond help. Our society is sometimes supportive, and at other times we condemn those less fortunate. How can we help those in need, those who are marginalized today?
Gospel Mt 9:18-26
We should question tradition if we are being asked to follow blindly without understanding. In today’s reading Jesus makes reference to the new time coming, and that as he spends time with his disciples this is not a time for “mourning or fasting”. He alludes to the New Covenant, where salvation will be revealed for all.
Jesus again gives us the message that he wants us to be merciful to others, not just penitent for ourselves.
