Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary

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.”
