21st September 2018 Friday 24th Week of Ordinary Time - St. Matthew

Reflection
Ephesians 4:1-7,11-13, Matthew 9:9-13
“The Object of God’s Unconditional Love"
In today’s gospel passage, Jesus was walking and saw Matthew sitting by the custom house. He said to him, “Follow me” For any other Jewish rabbi, Matthew would never be a suitable candidate to be a disciple.

Yet, Jesus broke all norms and called Matthew to be His disciple. He even went to Matthew’s house and had a meal with other tax collectors and social outcasts. Why? This was because Jesus regards each person as a beloved child of God. He did not see the people as ‘sinners’ or ‘tax collectors’ but as the object of God’s unconditional love. He broke down the walls of prejudices and hatred in order to bring God’s love to them.

Today, let us learn from Jesus to break down the walls we have built, choose to see them as God’s beloveds and accompany them also in their journey towards embracing the truth of their identity.

Question for reflection:
What is Jesus’ invitation to me as I pray with the Gospel today?
