Old Testament: Isaiah 58:1–9a
Gospel: Matthew 9:10–17
Psalm 51:1–10

Oh Christ, your teachings remain clear through the centuries. Through our own self-centeredness, we find ourselves becoming exclusive to others, a direct transgression of your message of inclusivity. May we remember that it is your acceptance of us that illuminates our path to mercy. May we follow your example and not forget that the love and mercy of Christ is for all, not just a chosen few.
