Monday 4 November
Luke 14, 12-14:
“When you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, lame and blind; blessed are you, because they cannot repay you; they will pay you at the resurrection of the righteous.”
There is a theology that could be called “theology of the broom, the apron and the towel.”
Is the theology that the Gospel today invites us to live.
It is simply the theology of commitment and service.
This Gospel asks us to be with the ones Jesus was with.
And Jesus was with those “without”: without papers, without food, without business, without health, without a roof, without a family…
Today put on a good clean “apron” and grab a good “broom” and get to attend and sweep away any need you find around you. As Jesus, invite to your banquet the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind.
Blessed are you because they cannot repay you. They will pay you when the just rise again.
Good day.
