"Rejoice then, you heavens
& those who dwell in them!
But woe to the earth & the sea,
for the devil has come down on you
with great wrath,
because he knows his time is short!"

"To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. My God, I put my trust in you. Let me not be put to shame nor let my enemies triumph over me.

Let none who look to you be put to shame, let the treacherous be disappointed
in their schemes."

~ Psalm 26:1-8 #LectionaryReading

Matthew 9:9-13

Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him. And as he sat at dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were sitting with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” But when he heard this, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.”
