Who is at your Table?

Scripture:  One sabbath when he went to dine at the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees, they were watching him.  Luke 14: 1

Reflection:  Meals are great moment to fellowship and learn, thanks to the mind that can do two things at a time. More so at a meal the mind does not require to focus much on a meal that is served.  Yet, when there is a great meal there are times when everyone is so quiet enjoying the meal that they forget that the others are around.

A family meal can be an occasion for praying, learning about the values of life and the Gospel.  In the Gospel example we also learn that we can always invite guests as the Pharisee did, guests who can enrich our spiritual life and the quality of life of the family. The guests need not be a poor but it could be a person who will give you the best concerning the Kingdom of God.  If not, then at least let Jesus be the guest at every meal by inviting him to be a part of your family. “Behold, I stand at the gate, and knock. If any man shall hear my voice, and open to me the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” Rev. 3:20

Prayer:  Lord be a part of our family and at every meal animate our conversation for your greater glory.
