Tuesday of the Thirty-first Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel text
Lk 14:15-24
Lk 14:15-24
"A man gave a great dinner to which he invited many. When the time for the dinner came, he dispatched his servant to say to those invited, 'Come, everything is now ready.' But one by one, they all began to excuse themselves..."
Gospel's Commentary
Today Jesus offers us the eternity, His Heaven, as a feast, that is, as an atmosphere of happiness. That there is eternity is no mystery: eternity is more "normal" than time. But, on the other hand, the rejection of man is indeed "mysterious": we are capable of changing God for something else. Some, for some land; others, for a few oxen... (That is, laziness, sloppiness, comfort ...).
- Is God so worthless, that we are willing to replace Him with anything else?
