Thirteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 9:9-13


*Friends, our Gospel for today is the simple but magnificent story of the
conversion of Matthew. I urge you to read it and meditate upon it this
week, for it’s about you. The Bible says that Jesus told Matthew, "Follow
me." The call of Jesus is meant to get into your mind, and then past your
mind into your body, and then through your body into your life, into your
most practical decisions.And then we hear that Matthew "**got up and
followed him."* The verb used here in the Greek is the same verb used to
describe the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead:* Matthew rose. Conversion
means a transition into a higher life, arising from a preoccupation with
the goods of the world and a reorientation to the things of God.*

Then we hear what happened after Matthew’s conversion: "*And as he sat at
dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were sitting
with him and his disciples." **This deeply annoys the Pharisees, who ask of
Jesus’ disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and
sinners?" *The answer is that* Jesus loves sinners, and he doesn’t require
perfection before he approaches them.*
