Is our faith weak if it fails to calm our fears or to bring us inner peace? I sure hope not.

God doesn’t always take time to address our every fear and doubt, but at least God gives us something to do next.

Think of today’s gospel as an invitation to a dinner party with Jesus at Levi’s house. (And not a stuffy one.)

In today’s gospel, perhaps Jesus’s compassionate touch is more healing than his miraculous powers.

Speaking to the Soul isn’t an advice column, but our reading from Proverbs gives us some advice worth taking to heart every day.
