banquets

Tonight I along with 5 others fixed dinner at the homeless shelter in Appleton - it was our Knights of Columbus night. We served 25 adults and 11 children. The people I talked to thought the food was great. I was happy to see the gospel reading for today - which is given below:

Gospel
Lk 14:12-14

On a sabbath Jesus went to dine
at the home of one of the leading Pharisees.
He said to the host who invited him,
“When you hold a lunch or a dinner,
do not invite your friends or your brothers or sisters
or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors,
in case they may invite you back and you have repayment.
Rather, when you hold a banquet,
invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you.
For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
