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! Cf. www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
