CCD NEWS

I wanted to take the time to thank everyone who helped with the parish picnic last Sunday. It was such a blessing to see many gathered to make this a great parish event, from the Chefs, the kitchen help, those who helped set up and clean up. I was aware of the great effort, hard work and time that many people spend in making our parish picnic a great event. It was such a nice event to gather as the one parish family that we are. Thank you very much to everyone! May God continue to bless you and our parish of St. Thomas, Fr. Abel

Gospel: Lk 14:1, 7-14

On a sabbath Jesus went to dine at the home of one of the leading Pharisees, and the people there were observing him carefully. He told a parable to those who had been invited, noticing how they were choosing the places of honor at the table. "When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not recline at table in the place of honor. A more distinguished guest than you may have been invited by him, and the host who invited both of you may approach you and say, 'Give your place to this man,' and then you would proceed with embarrassment to take the lowest place. Rather, when you are invited, go and take the lowest place so that when the host comes to you he may say, 'My friend, move up to a higher position.' Then you will enjoy the es-teem of your companions at the table. For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted." Then 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 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 be-cause of their inability to repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

Un sábado, Jesús fue a comer en casa de uno de los jefes de los fariseos, y éstos estaban espián-dolo. Mirando cómo los convidados escogían los primeros lugares, les dijo esta parábola: “Cuando te inviten a un banquete de bodas, no te sientes en el lugar principal, no sea que haya al-gún otro invitado más importante que tú, y el que los invitó a los dos venga a decirte: ‘Déjale el lugar a éste’, y tengas que ir a ocupar, lleno de vergüenza, el último asiento. Por el contrario, cuando te inviten, ocupa el último lugar, para que, cuando venga el que te invitó, te diga: ‘Amigo, acércate a la cabecera’. Entonces te verás honrado en presencia de todos los convidados. Porque el que se engrandece a sí mismo, será hu-millado; y el que se humilla, será engrandecido”. Luego dijo al que lo había invitado: “Cuando des una comida o una cena, no invites a tus amigos, ni a tus hermanos, ni a tus parientes, ni a los ve-cinos ricos; porque puede ser que ellos te inviten a su vez, y con eso quedarías recompensado. Al contrario, cuando des un banquete, invita a los pobres, a los lisiados, a los cojos y a los ciegos; y así serás dichoso, porque ellos no tienen con qué pagarte; pero ya se te pagará, cuando resuciten los justos”.
