Where Mercy Dwells

Canon EOS 350D, f/4.5, 1/60 sec

"As Jesus moved on from there, he saw a man named Matthew at his seat in the custom-house, and he said to him, 'Follow me.' And Matthew got up and followed him. Now it happened while Jesus was at a table in Matthew's house, many tax collectors and other sinners joined Jesus and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this they said to his disciples, 'Why is it that your master eats with those sinners and tax collectors?'

"When Jesus heard this he said, 'Healthy people do not need a doctor, but sick people do. Go and find out what this means: What I want is mercy, not sacrifice. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.'"

MATTHEW 9:9-13

"Lord, teach me to be merciful."
