PROLOGUE: - *28a - Gospel values included in the readings: We are deeply reassured that God walks with us to protect us and accompany us through all the highs and lows of life. 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!*
