Notes About The Poem
“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
The Challenge To Love
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
