We are in good and faithful hands. God's invitation is for all, but not all will accept it. Avoid apathy and distraction *This parable reminds us, that the invitation is for all, but the invitation can be refused. The Kingdom is open to all but guaranteed to none. We don't earn the Kingdom, but sadly can decline it, which would be madness!* +++++++++ References: Fr Paul W. Kelly Bergant, D. and Fragomeni, R. (2001). Preaching the new lectionary. Year A.
