Never give an excuse of God's invitation

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 14:15-24

One of those at table with Jesus said to him, "Blessed is the one who will dine in the kingdom of God."He replied to him, "A man gave a great dinner to which he invited many.When the time for the dinner came, he dispatched his servant to say to those invited, 'Come, everything is now ready.'But one by one, they all began to excuse themselves. The first said to him, 'I have purchased a field and must go to examine it; I ask you, consider me excused.'And another said, 'I have purchased five yoke of oxen and am on my way to evaluate them; I ask you, consider me excused.'And another said, 'I have just married a woman, and therefore I cannot come.'The servant went and reported this to his master. Then the master of the house in a rage commanded his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in here the poor and the crippled, the blind and the lame.'The servant reported, 'Sir, your orders have been carried out and still there is room.'The master then ordered the servant, 'Go out to the highways and hedgerows and make people come in that my home may be filled.For, I tell you, none of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.'"

Reflection:

Sometimes we are so busy doing something not to go to the church anymore. Even if what we have done is not so important. Nowadays, even watching tv is already an excused of our obligation to go to the church. We always wanted to have an excuse of God's invitation to eat dinner with Him. Jesus gave us the warning that whoever will not accept God's invitation to his dinner will never taste His dinner anymore. Be sure to have an honest excuse for whatever God invitation, otherwise, we will no longer be invited by God.
