Revised Common Lectionary Reflection, Proper 17, Year C

Showing up, sitting down, and sharing our abundant blessings — that’s the kind of banquet Jesus is talking about in this week’s Gospel lesson. Every place is a place of honor in God’s economy, and the “grace list” includes all of us. That’s good news indeed! (Photo: Elin B., Creative Commons)
Practice radical hospitality
RCL Reflection for Sept. 1, 2019
Maybe it’s time to take a holy pause like the folks at the Pharisee’s Sabbath dinner, and ponder Jesus’ teaching. How can we turn fear to love? How can we see beyond the limits of our own contexts to reach those who have not been seated at the table, those who want the opportunity to live a decent life? What will it look like for us to practice radical hospitality? (Photo: JESUS MAFA, Creative Commons)
