Welcome to ALIVE! with Fr. Jonathan Meyer. This week, on the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Gospel challenges us to rediscover the simple but powerful act of hospitality.

When was the last time you invited someone into your home for a meal—or were invited yourself? Sharing food and conversation is not just social, it’s deeply spiritual. Jesus calls us to open our doors not just to friends and family, but especially to the poor, the forgotten, and those who may feel alone.

Fr. Meyer reflects on the Gospel and his own memories to encourage us to reclaim the dinner table as a place of faith, fellowship, and evangelization.

🙏 Watch, reflect, and ask yourself: Who can I invite to my table this week?
