Scripture Mark 2:15 (NRSVUE) And as he sat at dinner in Levi's house, many tax collectors and sinners were also sitting with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.
Refrain There is a place at the table, and it is mine.
Quote Henri Nouwen, from Behold the Beauty of the Lord: Praying with Icons "To live in the world without belonging to the world summarizes the essence of the spiritual life. The spiritual life keeps us aware that our true house is not the house of fear, in which the powers of hatred and violence rule, but the house of love, where God resides." Hosted on Acast.
