In the Gospel reading, Jesus speaks about the kingdom as a banquet to which all are invited. In coming to this banquet, we are not to take the places of honor nor are we to invite those from whom we expect repayment. We all belong.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus affirms that God wants all of us to be saved. On our faith journey, we are called to follow Jesus through the “narrow door.” Jesus is the door opened to us all.
