Sermon for the Feast of St Matthew, AD 2025

Let us then be bold like Christ and Matthew and say, follow Christ. Understand that true mercy is to tell the truth of the gospel – repentance and forgiveness of sins in Christ. People must be brought to recognize their disease – they are sinners and cannot save themselves. Then they can receive the doctor – a divine Physician who only comes for sinners. A doctor who heals every patient and is partial to no one, spurns no one who recognizes their sin.
