That I may walk in your truth
Saturday after Ash Wednesday
Reading 1 IS 58:9B-14
Thus says the LORD:
If you remove from your midst oppression,
If you bestow your bread
Then light shall rise for you in the darkness,
Then the LORD will guide you always
He will renew your strength,
The ancient ruins shall be rebuilt for your sake,
“Repairer of the breach,” they shall call you,
“Restorer of ruined homesteads.”If you hold back your foot on the
If you call the
If you honor it by not following your ways,
Then you shall delight in the LORD,
I will nourish you with the heritage of Jacob, your father,

Keep my life, for I am devoted to you;
You are my God
for to you I call all the day.
Gladden the soul of your servant,
for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.R. Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth.For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in kindness to all who call upon you.
Hearken, O LORD, to my prayer
and attend to the sound of my pleading.R. Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth.
Verse Before The Gospel EZ 33:11
I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked man, says the Lord,
but rather in his conversion, that he may live.
Gospel LK 5:27-32
Jesus saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the customs post.
He said to him, “Follow me.”
And leaving everything behind, he got up and followed him.
Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house,
and a large crowd of tax collectors
and others were at table with them.
The Pharisees and their scribes complained to his disciples, saying,
“Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
Jesus said to them in reply,
“Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do.
I have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners.”
