Saturday, January 19, 2019:

Jesus said: “My people, in today’s Gospel I called Levi, the tax collector, to follow Me as one of My apostles. Levi was later named Matthew, who wrote one of the four Gospels. The Pharisees asked why I ate with sinners and tax collectors. But I told them that I came to call sinners and not the self-righteous. I told them that the sick need a physician. In the vision I showed you a humble attic that was plain and without much decoration. You do not need all of your extra comforts beyond your needs to survive. You should seek heavenly things as prayers, good works for your neighbor, and giving donations to the poor and needy along with My Church. Give a substantial donation, and not just a token amount from your excess wealth. By sharing with your neighbor, and worshiping Me at Sunday Mass, you can store up more valuable treasures in heaven for your judgment.”
