A SUPPER INVITATION

7th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Luke 11:1-13

            My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, let me invite you to a supper. This is a very special supper, something beyond your imagination. Why? This is because it is all imaginary and who knows it could be your last supper too. Come! Follow me as I lead you to the place.

            Here we are. Welcome to the Garden of Eden and what you see is the heavenly banquet prepared especially for you. I know that you like the place very much but let me have your attention first. Each seat has a name and one of those names is yours. As soon as you’re done enjoying the beauty of the garden you may immediately find your seat.  

            Now that you’re all on your seats, may we call the angels to serve the food. Oh yes! I know that you are all surprised that the angels can do it in just the wink of an eye. And of course, I see your eyes and astounded faces as these are food you have never seen and tasted before. Do they smell very delicious? Yes, I know and let us start the dinner with a prayer. Let us pray the prayer that Jesus told His disciples.

Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name.

Your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

AMEN.

            Enjoy your dinner and by the way, this dinner is sponsored by Jesus. Before I leave, let me read to you His message.

“Ask and it will be given to you;

seek and you will find;

knock and it will be opened to you.

For the one who asks receives,

and the one who searches finds,

and to him who knocks the door will be opened.

Good bye!
