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.
