Tuesday of the 31st Week in Ordinary Time

In our Gospel reading today, Jesus shares a parable about a man who invited guests to a dinner, but they were too busy to attend. The man sent his servants to invite others, yet the house was still not full. So, he sent his servants again to continue inviting people until the home was filled.

This reflects God's nature. Just like the man in the parable, God continually seeks us out to save us and invites us to His heavenly home. Sometimes we refuse the invitation because we are too busy or preoccupied with other matters; other times, we struggle with situations that prevent us from accepting God's love. However, God is persistent in His efforts to rescue us from sin and danger.

May we be open to God's grace in our lives and reach out in our times of need, so that one day we may find ourselves at the eternal banquet of heaven.
