COME TO ME LIKE THE PUBLICAN

COME TO ME LIKE THE PUBLICAN

October 22, 1991

Jesus, dress me in humility, purity and observation to Your Law, for this will please the Father.

peace be with you; for this I tell you:
be like the publican

for many of you condemn your neighbour, forgetting how only yesterday, you too, were locked in the same sleep; do not say: "I have made my house tidy and ready for the Lord; He may come now to me anytime; I am ready to receive Him; I am not like my neighbour, who does not fast, does not pray, but goes on living a wicked life;" receive your sight I tell you, your lips have already condemned you; cure yourself first and do not condemn the others who do not know their left hand from their right hand; come to Me like the publican and ask Me to be merciful to you, the sinner, ¹ for you are all subjects to sin; Temple! rise and serve Me your God, by helping the widow ² you will be serving Me;

go now in Peace, I am with you;

Glory be to God.
