Readings

First: Genesis 12:1-9 The Lord told Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. I will make of you a great nation ..." Abram, with Sarah and Lot went to Canaan, where the Lord said, "To your offspring I will give this land." So Abram built there an altar to the Lord, then pitched his tent.

Hosea 5:15-6:6 The prophet expresses God's frustration with shallow repentance, and desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

Second: Romans 4:13-25 God's promise is realised through Abraham's faith: he believed that he would become "the father of many nations," ..." He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body

Gospel: Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26 Jesus calls Matthew the tax-collector - and so dines with many tax collectors and sinners. The Pharisees criticized, but he says "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick": I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners. He then heals the woman who has been hemorrhaging, saying "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." And he raises Jairus' daughter, who he says is just sleeping.

Themes

Being sent by God to reach the lost - and responding faithfully to God's promises. God wants our mercy and love, not ritual action.
