Last who will be first

“For behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.” (LK 13: 30)

Those called last (the Gentiles) will precede those to whom the invitation to enter was first extended (the Jews). We received an invitation to be closer to God. It is not important to God how many times we refuse or ignore His invitation; the only important thing is to Him is—how much we try to answer; again and again.

“I am the way, the truth and the life, says the Lord; no one comes to the Father, except through me.” (Gospel Acclamation)
