The One Who Humbles
Himself Will Be Exalted
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 bare asked to move if someone
more important arrives. This is more than just a
lesson about dinner etiquette. It is advice on how to
find your true place in the Kingdom 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 crippled, 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 Jesus' vision of a good society.
Luke's Gospel 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.
"For everyone who exalts himself will be
humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be
exalted.” Luke 14:11

The Passionist Missionaries goal is to
promote the memory of the Passion of
Jesus Christ by witnessing and preaching
to the sufferings of our time. Through
their projects in Kenya, they are able to
evangelize and promote integral human
development. Their projects involve
programs and activities for alleviating
poverty and foster social justice and
economic empowerment of the communities they serve. They have
40 seminarians, they run two orphanages with 70 orphans, and they
support poor widows in their missions. They organize and preach
retreats for both religious and lay Faithful. Your generous support
continues their mission affecting a positive change in people's daily
lives and the hope for a better tomorrow.
The weekend of August 31st/September 1st we will have Fr. Evans
Fwamba, cp a Passionist from Kenya share with us his mission story.
If you find the time, please visit our orphans, Seminarians, people
and Passionists at www.Passionistskenya.org
