We might take this opportunity to think about our own tables, about the care we take to host meals for others. We are all called to feed each other. In feeding and in eating we make promises. Surely God will give us the grace never to betray whatever food we offer to each other in love. Most of all may we have the grace to know the appropriate response to the hospitality that God has offered.
Christians are fortunate to have a model in the rest of the story.
Jesus, betrayed and broken-hearted, his hospitality insulted, leaves the most sacred table we know and goes out into the night to love like he s never been hurt. For our information and encouragement please e-mail us if you download or print this document.
