Thought for the day: Customs surrounding hospitality are deeply embedded in every culture. Normally, we pay little attention to this because we just act ‘normally’. When we change cultures, however, even simple things like words and gestures of greeting are new, often different. Jesus, in his ministry, took on such deeply embedded, self-serving customs and reversed them in the light of the Gospel reversal of all values. Radical change is always resisted and even today his teaching is put in practice only by the few. Prayer: Compassionate God, at your table, all are welcome. As we enjoy your hospitality, help us to take it to heart, so that as we have received, so we may give. Amen. (Fr Kieran O’Mahony OSA)
Pope Leo XIV on ‘X’: Jesus calls into question ‘the security of believers’. He tells us that it is not enough to profess the faith with words. Our faith is authentic when it embraces our whole life, when it becomes a criterion for our decisions, when it makes us women and men committed to doing what is right, who take risks out of love, as Jesus did.
