Philippians 2:5-11. I will praise you, Lord, in the assembly of your people – Psalm 21(22):26-32. Luke 14:15-24.
Bring everyone in
We thought the pious man spoke well,
to focus on the heavenly banquet,
but Jesus called him back to the here and now:
‘The invites are out; you must respond.
No time to wait, delay or hesitate:
the Lord is now inviting the poor,
the broken, the homeless, to take your place.
Leave your daily business and come!
Lord, help us recognise your invitation
on the faces of the refugees,
the beggars and the homeless, and with them
accept and offer your hospitality.
