28th Sunday in Ordinary Time - A. "Go out into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find."
If there is one consistent theme in Jesus's parables, it's that God's love is expansive beyond the imagination of his contemporaries -- and often beyond ours. In God's banquet hall there are no "favored few." God's invitation to rich food and holy friendship extends to the down-and-out folks walking the back streets and alleys we avoid. The religous leaders Jesus confronts couldn't accept such a vision of God. Can we?
