Today's reflection

I didn't sit down and write out a big long and well thought out reflection for today. While I usually type up something and then paste it directly here, I'll instead paste the Gospel reading for today and leave the reflection up to you. It's pretty easy to see- Jesus speaks directly to our work at Andre House. This is a great piece of encouragement for me.

From the Gospel of St. Luke:

On a Sabbath Jesus went to dinner 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.”
