This is the reading from Luke 5 in our ⁠⁠⁠⁠Good News of Great Joy reading guide⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In Luke 5, we see Jesus demonstrating His divine authority through miraculous acts, healing the sick, and calling sinners to repentance. As we prepare for Advent, we are reminded that Jesus came not only to heal our bodies but to forgive our sins and transform our lives. His call to follow Him invites us to leave behind our old ways – our old selves, just as the disciples and Levi did, and embrace the new life He offers. Let us prepare our hearts to receive the Savior who brings healing, forgiveness, and a new way of life.
