MONDAY 21ST SEPTEMBER
Matthew 9, 9-13:
“As Jesus passed by, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, ‘Follow me”. He got up and followed him.
We all have our “tax counters”.
We sit at it and from there we take our toll from each one because we believe that everyone is our debtor.
Jesus today teaches us to get up and leave our “tax counter”.
Stop believing that everyone owes you and should be grateful to you.
The important thing is to follow Jesus and to leave our “taxes” for others.
Like Matthew, offer a banquet in which you serve without measure the gratuity and gratefulness and that this banquet lasts all your days.
May this banquet also be an expression of your joy at having been called by Jesus.
I am sure you will be happy. Because in that way, Jesus too will sit at your table and multiply more and more what you give freely and gratefully.
Good day.
