Mindful of my imperfections, seeking to know Truth more deeply and to live Love more fully.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus? Cum vix iustus sit securus?

Are you talking to ME?

Caravaggio's 'The Calling of St. Matthew' - The Contarelli Chapel, Church of St. Louis of France, Rome

Today’s Gospel is a familiar one: the call of St. Matthew.

The thought that comes to mind is also a familiar one: which of the people in the Gospel is more like us?

The second thought is: are we sure?

Are we the righteous people?

Are we sure?

Are we the ones who 'think outside the box' and reach out to people who really need the Gospel?

Are we sure?

Are we the sinners?

I think he’s talking to me.
