“Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.”  St. Mark 2:17

Father Christ answered the Pharisees with a metaphor He is the Divine Physician “He did not come for the righteous But sinners” The sinners are sick Father Christ is our Divine Physician The sinners are sick They are sick because of sins “Love those who are near you” “Love those who are most like you” “Love when you feel comfortable” “Love those who are able to give in return” Divine Physician said to simply “love one another” Often times those who need love are the ones who are least lovable Divine Physician stepped outside Approach someone who are difficult, broken, unappealing or different Stretch yourself to love beyond those lines 4202014
