NEXT WEEK’S READINGS
First Reading Wisdom 9:13-18b.
Responsorial Psalm Psalm 90:3-4,5-6,12-13,14-17
Second Reading Philemon 9-10, 12-17
Gospel Reading Luke 14:25-33
Meals played an important role in the
society in which Jesus lived. More than a
time for sharing nourishment, they were a
time to share ideas and to model different
aspects of social relationships. In Luke's
Gospel, the places that a person ate (at
the home of a tax collector, 5:29), the
people with whom a person ate (sinners,
5:30), whether a person washed before
eating (11:38), and, as is the case here,
the place that a person sits while eating
are all important. The narrator says Jesus
tells a parable, but it is really wise advice
to both guests and hosts about finding
true happiness at the heavenly banquet.
Jesus warns guests to wait before taking
their places at the table lest they be asked
to move if someone more important ar-
rives. This is more than just a lesson
about dinner etiquette. It is advice on
how to find your true place in the King-
dom of God. Jesus advises hosts not to
invite people who would be expected to
repay them to dinner but to invite those
who could not repay: the poor, the crip-
pled, the lame, and the blind. This is
where real blessings can be found.
In these sayings, Luke gives us not only
advice on how to approach the end times
but also on how to live according to Je-
sus' vision of a good society. Luke's Gos-
pel also advises us how the Church must
be part of bringing about this society. It is
yet another example in Luke's Gospel of
the reversal the kingdom brings about.
Prayer for the Hurricane Season
“Our Father in heaven, through the power-
ful intercession of Our Lady of Prompt
Succor, spare us from all harm during this
hurricane season and protect us and our
homes from all disasters of nature.”
“Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to
help us.”
