Mk. 2: 13-17:
Jesus dines with tax collectors. The association with public sinners of which
Levi the tax collector included could make one ritually unclean in these time.
Jesus cracks open the status quo as he draws people into the kingdom by
cleaning, healing them. Now the power to forgive which moves among us is the
power of Jesus. He is the Messiah-our abiding agent of reconciliation and the
source of liturgical power.
