The table of Jesus breaks down distance and returns dignity: no one is left out when grace becomes welcome.
Editorial reflection inspired by the Gospels; it is not a literal quotation from Jesus.
Jesus, thank you that at your table I find welcome before appearances and dignity before labels. Show me where I have closed my heart or decided who deserves to belong. Teach me to receive others with respect, to share without showing off, and to listen to stories different from mine. Make my life a safe place where your grace can become a concrete welcome. Amen.
