AT THE TABLE In today’s first reading, Wisdom is imagined as a woman rich in poise and grace. She moves smoothly and confidently about her temple‑like home. She doesn’t flut-ter about, nervous with worry. Wisdom sends her maidens to invite all to her open house. The guests do not possess any particular genius or insight. They need only be a peo-ple of good will and common sense. They are summoned to leave behind foolishness and to find for themselves a place at Wisdom’s table. There they may and can eat and drink deeply. Today’s Gospel draws us back to the table of the Eucharist. Jesus addresses those who seek to understand his words and, sadly, those who seek to avoid them. As people born of God, we are called and equipped to seek God’s will and act on it. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
A LA MESA En la primera lectura de hoy, la sabiduría se presenta como una mujer rica en aplomo y gracia. Se mueve fácil-mente y con confianza en torno a su templo-hogar. No anda mariposeando, nerviosa y preocupada. La sabiduría envía a sus doncellas a invitar a todos a su casa. Los invi-tados no tienen que tener ningún talento o conocimiento en particular. Tan sólo necesitan ser personas de buena
voluntad y sentido común. Se les lla-ma a dejar atrás las tonterías y buscar para sí mismos un lugar a la mesa de la sabiduría. Ahí pueden comer y be-ber a fondo. El Evangelio de hoy nos lleva de nuevo a la mesa de la Eucaristía. Jesús les habla a aquellos que buscan entender sus palabras, y, tristemente, a aquellos que tratan de evadirlas. Como pueblo nacido de Dios, estamos llamados y preparados para buscar la voluntad de Dios y ponerla en prácti-ca. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Religious Education News 20th Sunday of Ordinary Time – John 6:51-58
Gospel Reflection: Poem from Prayer Bundle by Toon Hermans
Tom McGrath, author of Raising Faith-Filled Kids, offers 10 ways to help you make the most of your family mealtime.
Commit to a set time for meals (daily, weekly, or according to your schedule). Turn off the cell phones, TV, computers, and handheld games, and don't answer the phone. . Use prayer to mark the transition from busyness to mealtime. Be mindful of those who don't have
enough to eat today. Slow down enough to taste and enjoy your food. Hold one conversation at a time. Everyone gets a chance to speak. You can disagree, but you can't
be unkind about it. Encourage laughter. Practice manners, such as saying please and thank you and asking politely for people to pass the salt, and so on. Everyone stays
at the table until they're excused to leave. Give everyone a role in preparing or cleaning up. Even small children can help set the table or put napkins in place. Regularly invite guests to your table. Welcome them as you would welcome Jesus. Treat your family members the same way. Always end with a quick expression of gratitude to God and thanks to the cook!
Salvation – Lord, how many times haven’t you saved me already? Again and again You helped me up and gave me strength when I was disheartened. You gave me light in darkness. When I had to say farewell to people dear to me You were my comfort. Thus You have become a part of my life. Stay with me, Lord, in all I do. Without You I won’t make it.
