Social
Missionary Action
Our homes must be open to others. Each person must be welcomed as a brother or
sister so that the family can become an experience of Christianity lived deeply
and authentically (page 14)
Too often we close
ourselves off from others as a means to escape the pressures of the outside
world. Bishop Giaquinta reminds us that
in order to truly live Christ’s call to holiness we must be welcoming to all
just as He was
Luke 9:10-11
When the apostles returned, they explained
to him what they had done. He took them and withdrew in private to a town
called Bethsaida . 11The crowds, meanwhile, learned of this
and followed him. He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God , and he healed those who needed to be cured.
As we pray with these verses let us ask ourselves how we
experience God’s love through them, and how he is challenging us and calling us
to be more welcoming
Dear Jesus, remind our family to be available and welcoming as you are and
always ready to communicate your love and healing in word and action
