July 21 ~ Sixteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time

In the first reading, we hear that Abraham, saw three men standing nearby, “… he ran … to greet them” Not only did he greet them warmly, he provided water to bathe their feet, Sarah prepared a meal, and he “waited on them”. We call this Radical Hospitality, an attitude that many parishes are intentionally adopting. We are all called to make the strangers in our pews feel welcome. This may mean stepping out of our comfort zone to assist a newcomer. Who is the stranger that God is putting in your path today? How will you respond?
