Lectio: Mk 2.13-17

Meditatio: “Jesus heard this and said to them [that], ‘Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners’.” Mk 2.17

Oratio: "O God, what is it about us that You are so mindful of us?

I remember Your Son made it clear that He came for us, sinners, so that despite our lowliness and unworthiness, Your kingdom would be ours - How gracious and merciful of You.

Grant that I may always have a grateful heart and give You thanks and praise for being so good to us. .

I ask this of You, who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever.
Amen.”

Contemplatio: Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes.

Operatio: Reflect on our sinful condition and Jesus coming for us and calling us to repent. Resolve whenever I sin, to immediately turn to the Lord and ask for His forgiveness, knowing that He will always grant it for He is kind and merciful.
