Friends of the Rosary, The Pharisees criticized Jesus' eating habits and dining with sinners. In the Jewish society of that time, a righteous person would never associate with the unrighteous for fear of becoming unclean. As we read today in the Gospel (Luke 7:31-35), Christ Jesus said: "For John the Baptist came neither eating food nor drinking wine,and you said, ‘He is possessed by a demon.’The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you said,‘Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard,a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’But wisdom is vindicated by all her children." Jesus scandalized everyone by breaking down these man-made barriers because God loves sinners and associates with them. He is the Incarnation of God who aggressively seeks out the lost. He comes running after us and never gives up. "The more we run, the more he runs after; the more we hide, the more he looks; the more we resist, the more he persists," Bishop Barron wrote.
