Sunday's Gospel Reflection
 You are welcome as you are, but you cannot stay as you are. In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus tells us about a wedding feast to which everyone is invited. When the first guests refuse to come, the invitation goes out to the streets: “Invite to the feast whomever you find.” Both the good and the bad are welcomed.
This is the heart of God’s grace: you are welcome as you are. You do not have to be perfect to come to God. Bring your joys, your wounds, your struggles, and your hopes. The table is prepared for you. But the Gospel also reminds us that we cannot encounter God’s love and remain the same. The wedding garment is a reminder that grace does not merely welcome us—it transforms us. When we truly encounter Jesus, something in us must begin to change. We learn to forgive. We let go of bitterness. We become more compassionate, generous, humble, and loving. You are welcome as you are, but you cannot stay as you are. Perhaps this is what happens when we truly lock our eyes with Jesus, the Love of our life. His gaze reaches our hearts, and His love invites us to become someone new. Every Eucharist is an invitation: “Come to the feast.” Come as you are. Come with an open heart. And allow the love of Jesus to transform you. Blessings in Christ,
