Today, Our Lord teaches us that there is always room for more members of his family. The invitation to all people everywhere is always open. God wants to extend the definition of family beyond the narrow confines of blood or region. The importance of community is also powerful in the readings this weekend. We need to support and uplift each other, on our journey along the ways of the Lord.

(Always Room for one more!)
We are God’s beloved children. We are called, loved and embraced — cherished beyond measure.
We are God’s people — daughters and sons of God — not because we have earned it or deserve it, nor because we are worthy in ourselves, but simply because God loves us. It is God, overflowing with generous love, who calls us to himself.
We give a powerful witness through selfless service — not for personal gain, but following the example of the Good Shepherd.
