  Speaker 1: Gospel reflection for the third day of November in the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: year of our Lord 2026 and today's reading comes from
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Luke chapter 14 verses 15 through 21. When one of
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: them that sat at the table with him had heard
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: these things he said to him blessed is he that
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: shall eat the bread in the kingdom of God. But
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: he said to him a certain man made a great
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: supper and invited many and he sent his servant to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: at the hour of supper, to say to them that
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: were invited that they should come, for now all things
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: are ready. And they began all at once to make excuse.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: They first said to him, I have bought a farm,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and I must needs go out and see it. I
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: pray thee, hold me excuse. Another said, I have bought
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I pray thee, hold me excuse. Another said, I have
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. And the
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: servant returning told these things to his lord. Then the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: master of the house, being angry, said to his servant,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: city and bring in hither the poor and the feeble
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and the blind and the lame. And the servant said, Lord,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: is room. And the lord said to the servant, Go
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: out into the highways and hedges and compel them to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: come in, that my house may be filled. But I
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: say unto you that none of those men that were
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: invited shall taste of my supper. How often do we
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: pause to realize just how amazingly blessed we are to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: eat bread in the kingdom of God at every Mass?
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: For the Jews of Jesus' time, this was not even comprehensible.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: They dreamed of a future heaven, but even the most
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: holy prophets existed in the limbo of the fathers. Although
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: they were happy, they were still separated from God, the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: beatific vision, until Jesus opened the gates of heaven following
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: his crucifixion. I don't know about you, but I do
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: not often contemplate enough that we are truly in the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: kingdom of heaven and that all the angels and saints
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and even God himself is truly present right here with
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: us and in us at every holy mass. How can
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: human eyes perceive the reality of what is happening? How
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: can we understand that bread and wine becomes the body
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and blood of God? Only through faith. Faith is belief
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: in things unseen. I believe because Jesus and his church
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: show me it's true. With childlike simplicity, I believe. I
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: do not fully understand or perceive it. If I did,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I probably would not be able to bear it. How
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: amazing is it that our Lord comes to us in
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a way that we can accept him? The Old Testament
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: states that no one who sees the face of God
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: can live, yet Jesus came in human form and all
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: saw his face. Now he comes to us in such
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a simple manner, that we cannot perceive except through the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: eyes of faith. Blessed are we. Let us make every
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: possible effort to attend the Great Supper provided to us
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: by the Master at every possible opportunity. All right, y'all.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Have a good day, and I will talk to you tomorrow.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Go to Mass.
