Short Reflection
for the 28th Sunday of the Ordinary Time (A)
Sunday
dedicated to REMEMBER and PRAY with our Indigenous Peoples
Readings:
Isaiah 25: 6-10; Philippians 4: 12-14; Matthew 22: 1-14
Selected
Passage: 'The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to
come. Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever
you find.' (Matthew 22: 8-9)
Meditation: The Parable tells us of God’s invitation
to ALL! One caveat is finding ourselves NOT WORTHY TO COME. We are preoccupied
with other concerns, thus we miss God’s invitation… Cuidado!
In responding to God’s call, we should do it properly. It is not enough
to be present. We
should show respect to the host, as well as, exhibit self-respect and
exhibiting good behavior. We do not take the invitation for granted
and neither do we trivialize God’s invitation. BEWARE!
