Suy Niệm Tin Mừng
Thứ Sáu Tuần 13 Thường Niên
Đoạn Tin Mừng hôm nay đoạn cho chúng ta thấy được niềm hy vọng, vì Chúa Giêsu đến để kêu gọi và cứu chữa những con người tội lỗi. Người thu thuế Mathêô chắc chắn đã có thấu hiểu đưoơc về sự vô nghĩa của việc tích lũy của cải vật chất. Và vì thế ông đã từ bỏ tất cả để chạy theo và nghe những lời Chúa Giêsu giảng dạy. Tất cả của cải vật chất trên thế giới và sự đam mê của chúng sẽ không thể đáp ứng cho con người chúng ta. Chỉ có Chúa Giêsu, Con Thiên Chúa là vị cứu tinh của thế giới mới có thể đem lại chúng ta những niềm vui và hạnh phúc nước trời. Lạy Chúa Giêsu, là Đấng Cứu Thế của chúng con, xin Chúa, sưởi ấm tâm hồn của chúng con với tình yêu vị tha của Chúa. Vì tâm hồn của chúng con đang mang đầy tội lỗi; Xin tẩy sạch chúng con bằng máu quý báu của Chúa. Va xin lấp đầy tâm hồn của chúng con với sự hiện diện của Chúa Thánh Thần. Lạy Chúa Giêsu, tâm hồn của chúng con là của Chúa; Xin Chúa hãy chiếm hữu tâm hồn chúng con và chỉ có Chúa mới là sở hữu tâm hồn con mà thôi.
Reflection:
Today gospel passage gives us hope. Jesus comes to save sinners. The tax collector Matthew must have experienced the meaninglessness of accumulating riches, exploiting others, etc. He must also have resolved to amend his ways after listening to Jesus preach. The world and all its allurements cannot satisfy man. Only Jesus, Son of God and saviour of the world, can.
Do we believe this? Have you finally realized this? If you are still thinking that the world can give you happiness, true happiness, Jesus is coming to you and inviting you to change your mentality. Do not be like the Pharisees who were self-righteous and who looked down on others. Jesus is willing to dine with us even if we are sinners. Are we interested in dining with him or do we prefer the company of the devil?

“Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. Go and learn the meaning of the words, I desire mercy, not sacrifice. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.” Matthew 9:12–13
Would you describe yourself as one who is “well” or one who is “sick?” Are you among the “righteous” or the “sinners?” Be careful how you answer this question. Of course, the pride that comes with our fallen human nature often tempts us to claim that we are “well” and “righteous.” But humility will reveal the truth that we are among the “sick” and “sinners.”
This statement of Jesus is a response to the Pharisees who noticed that Jesus was dining at the house of Matthew, the tax collector, whom He had just called to follow Him. Matthew did indeed leave everything behind and followed Jesus, and then he hosted dinner for Jesus at his house. At that dinner, there were “many tax collectors and sinners” who came and sat with Jesus and His disciples, which led the Pharisees to ridicule them all.
Jesus’ response is very important for us to hear. By stating that He came not for those who were well and righteous but for those who were sick and sinners, it tells us two important things. First, it tells us that we are all spiritually sick and sinful. Second, it tells us that if we cannot humbly admit to that, and in our pride claim that we are well and are righteous, then we essentially reject Jesus, the Divine Physician, from our lives. We essentially say, “Lord, I do not need You.”
It’s also helpful to notice that Jesus was not embarrassed to be seen with sinners. He did not hesitate at all and, in fact, clearly stated that they were those whom He came for. For that reason, we should not be afraid or embarrassed to admit we are sinners who are spiritually ill and in need of our Lord. To deny that fact is to deny reality and to deny the very source of the ongoing healing we most certainly need in life. It’s a denial of our need for Christ Jesus Himself.
Do you need our Lord? Do you need interior cleansing, healing, and forgiveness every day? If it’s difficult for you to wholeheartedly say “Yes” to that question, then perhaps you struggle with the pride of the Pharisees more than you know. No matter how holy you become, no matter how deeply you pray and no matter how charitable you are, you will always need the healing and forgiveness of the Divine Physician each and every day.
Reflect, today, upon the need you have in your life today for forgiveness. What sin do you struggle with the most? Interestingly, the holier one becomes, the more clearly they see their daily sins and their need for forgiveness and healing. If you struggle with this at all, spend time examining your conscience. Look for ways to do it more thoroughly and honestly. If you do, you can be certain that our Lord, the Divine Physician, will deeply desire to dine with you today and always.
My forgiving Lord, You are the Divine Physician Who has come to forgive and heal all of our ills. Remove my pride and self-righteousness so that I can be filled with humility and see clearly the sin in my life. As I see my sin, help me to turn to You and to trust in Your abundant mercy. You came for sinners, dear Lord, and I am one of those sinners in need. Jesus, I trust in You.
Friday of the Thirteenth Week in
Ordinary Time 2026
As Jesus passed by, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him. Matthew 9:9
As a tax collector, Matthew was despised by much of Jewish society. He was regarded as a traitor and sinner, aligning himself with the oppressive Roman authorities. Because he was considered unclean, he would have been unwelcome in the local synagogue. Though Matthew was likely wealthy due to the lucrative nature of tax collection, neither his wealth nor Roman privileges could satisfy him. Had they fulfilled him, he would never have immediately abandoned everything at Jesus’ simple command: “Follow me.”
While little else is known about Matthew’s personal life and background, we do know that he represents anyone who prioritizes wealth and status above family and faith. Those who seek fulfillment primarily in material wealth and worldly positions inevitably experience loneliness and isolation—an inescapable truth of the human condition.
When Jesus encountered Matthew, He perceived his interior brokenness and hidden struggles. Christ saw beyond Matthew’s outward position, fine clothing, and wealth, looking directly into his heart. His two simple words—“Follow me”—pierced Matthew deeply, prompting an immediate and radical response.
After leaving his customs post, Matthew hosted a dinner at his home for Jesus and the other disciples already called. Among them were Peter, Andrew, James, and John—fishermen from Capernaum, the very town where Matthew collected taxes. Although the Gospel is silent about their interactions, it’s reasonable to speculate these disciples were among those shocked by Jesus’ decision to call Matthew and enter his home. Given Capernaum’s small size, Matthew had likely collected taxes from them personally, perhaps creating tension or resentment.
We can learn a great deal from Matthew and from the diverse group of Apostles whom Jesus gathered around Himself. As you reflect on Matthew, consider your own “customs post”—those places in your heart you created by sin and where you feel trapped by the effects of those sins: attachments, fears, and worldly ambitions. Like Matthew, Christ sees clearly beyond superficial worldly standards and directly into your deepest spiritual needs.
We should note that Saint Matthew himself recounts his own conversion within his Gospel. He positions his story among several miracles, shortly after Jesus delivered two men from demonic possession. Saint Thomas Aquinas suggests that this placement implies Matthew considered his own conversion a miraculous event. Indeed, only Matthew could fully appreciate the miraculous transformation within his soul, moving from a life defined by sin, rejection, isolation, and materialism to one of radical conversion and humble service to the Messiah.
As Matthew later reflected on his life and conversion while writing his Gospel, he undoubtedly marveled that the Messiah personally singled him out and made him one of His Apostles. What unexpected and extraordinary grace!
Reflect today on the dinner Matthew hosted immediately after his conversion. At that gathering, Matthew and the other Apostles stand as icons of whom God desires within His Church. God actively seeks out sinners—those separated, despised, rejected, and even those who have oppressed others. He calls into communion people who were previously at odds, urging them toward unity. Achieving this unity requires abandoning biases, bitterness, past grievances, prejudices, and everything that fosters division. God calls many to Himself, uniting them as members of His Body, the Church. See yourself within this community of the redeemed—not among the self-righteous—but within a family bound together by mercy, humility, gratitude, and reconciliation.
Most merciful Lord, You see beyond the surface into the hidden intentions, desires, hurts, and confusion within each of us. Despite the sin and darkness we carry, You long for our freedom, calling gently yet firmly to each soul: “Follow me!” May I, like Saint Matthew, respond to Your call immediately and wholeheartedly. Thank You for drawing not only me but all people to Yourself—even those with whom I struggle or am sometimes at odds. Unite us in Your love, mercy, and peace. Jesus, I trust in You.

Opening Prayer: Lord God, I offer you the sacrifice of my life, united to the sufferings of your Son. I will be merciful as you are merciful. I will strive for holiness and perfection as you are holy and perfect.
1. Matthew and the Economy of Salvation: In the Gospel, we learn about the call of Matthew the tax collector. As a tax collector, Matthew had the ability to read and write and was not illiterate. He produced the Gospel that bears his name. One of its characteristics is the economic language used all throughout the Gospel. He speaks about the debt of sin and the credit of righteousness, about storing up heavenly treasure, about how God forgives our enormous debt and expects us to forgive the debts of others, about how we will be paid for our labor, and about how we have been entrusted with the king’s talents and need to work to build up the Kingdom of the Heavens. We are able to do all of this because the Kingdom of the Heavens that Jesus has inaugurated has broken into this world. God’s grace given to us through Jesus and the Spirit empowers us to do meritorious works of charity that build up the Kingdom and store up heavenly treasure.

13th ordinary time
Opening Prayer: Lord, you nourish me with your words in Scripture, and with your body when I answer your invitation to come to your banquet table. Never stop calling me to follow you, and give me the grace to walk in your ways, with the help of your Holy Spirit.
Seeing a Man: When the penetrating gaze of Jesus fell upon Matthew, the Lord saw a man. Instead of perceiving Matthew as the object of derision for the role he played in society, Jesus saw the man first and foremost as a reflection of himself, created in his image and likeness. Man’s first sin in the garden had surely tarnished this reflection, but neither that original sin, nor any subsequent sin committed by this particular man, diminished the incredible dignity that Matthew enjoyed as a child of God. Matthew had used his free will, granted by our loving God and Father, to side with the Roman authorities against the Jews, the chosen people into which he was born. But Our Lord also gave him, and gives us, a chance to turn his back on his former life and follow Christ, perfecting that will. “By free will one shapes one's own life. Human freedom is a force for growth and maturity in truth and goodness; it attains its perfection when directed toward God, our beatitude” (CCC 1731).
REFLECTION 2017
There are two key points we could consider from the Gospel reading today.
The first is how Matthew, the tax collector, was called by Jesus. Walking by the custom-house, Jesus sees Matthew, a tax collector, Jesus simply tells him, "Follow me!" and, without any hesitation or thought, Matthew "got up [from his seat at the custom-house] and followed him."
Matthew's response was one of great generosity and trust in Jesus: what did Matthew know about Jesus? What kind of a man was Matthew? Except that he was named among the Twelve, there is nothing more about Matthew in the Gospels. Matthew wrote the first Gospel which was written in Aramaic. Tradition says Matthew preached in Persia and Ethiopia. He was martyred in Ethiopia.
The second key point was Jesus' reiteration of his mission in life, "Healthy people do not need a doctor, but sick people do... I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
This was a simplified statement of his mission, as compared to what he had read and affirmed from the prophet Isaiah, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. He has anointed me to bring good news to the poor, to proclaim liberty to captives and new sight to the blind; to free the oppressed and announce the Lord's year of mercy." "Today these prophetic words come true even as you listen." (Lk 4:18- 19, 21)
Hence, we see Jesus eating with tax collectors and sinners; we see him forgiving sin; we hear him give the parable of the Prodigal Son and the Merciful Father. We see him promising heaven to the good thief and praising the humility and faith of the publican in his parable.
We thank the Lord for his loving mercy for all of us, sinners that we are.
Reflection:
“Come to me all you that labour and are burdened, and I will give you rest”. This quotation from Matthew's Gospel, chosen for today’s Alleluia verse, has been described as “the sweetest verse in Scripture.” Although this verse occurs in a later Chapter, the Gospel passage we read today illustrate how Jesus looks for and chooses those who labour and are burdened.
As a tax-collector, Mathew was despised and marginalized, and the friends whom he could invite to dinner in his home were tax-collectors and those whom religious leaders looked down upon as “sinners” — ordinary hard-working people who did not know the Law as the scholars did. These religious leaders presumed that the people were not capable of living according to it.
In spite of what the leaders thought, these poor people were probably living lives of quiet desperation, and striving to live as decently as possible. They came together in Matthew’s house to be with Jesus and would have felt something of the comfort of his presence and acceptance.
Jesus, when we are burdened by the cares and worries of life and wonder where we can find God, draw us to Yourself for spiritual rest and consolation.
