Pause
“Some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.” Today’s Gospel reminds us that God’s kingdom looks different from our guest list. All are invited—east and west, north and south. The real question is not who gets in, but whether we’re living as if the door is open to everyone. Isaiah’s vision of diverse peoples gathered together is a call to widen our welcome.
Pray
Lord of all nations, help me to make room at the table for everyone. Let me never block the door with judgment or pride. Teach me to rejoice in your radical, welcoming love. Make my life a living invitation to your feast, where all are seen, known, and cherished. Amen.
Act
Reach out to someone today who might feel left out—in your parish, your community, your circle. Invite them in.
