Lectio: Lk 14.12-14

“Blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.” Lk 14.14

“O God, You are most concerned for the anawin - the poor, the outcast, the crippled, the blind, the lame.

I remember Jesus said that the anawin are the ones with whom you should share hospitality because they can’t repay you - but the Lord can and He will.

Grant that I may have a compassionate and generous concern for the poor and the handicapped for that is that is righteous and pleasing to You.

I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.

Operatio: Reflect on “the resurrection of the righteous” - life after death with the Lord; te destiny of those who live this live with love for all; these are the righteous. Resolve with the help of God’s grace to have a generous heart and a non-judgmental one so that I may give to those in need with respect to their dignity.

Tomorrow’s readings: Jn 6.3-9
