A Pharisee invited Him to dine at his home

“After Jesus had spoken, a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home. He entered and reclined at table to eat.” (LK 11: 37) 

Our Lord accepted all invitations to come and dine at home. Home is a natural place where the Gospel should arrive. The Gospel is the Good News about us and God’s love, about how much we are loved and what we can do to share with others the love we received. Our Lord is never tired of accepting invitations and never discouraged when rejected.

“The word of God is living and effective, able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.” (Gospel Acclamation)
