1 READ & REFLECT! Listen & Learn with Jesus, the Word!
Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is like when a king held a wedding feast for his son.
He sent his servants to summon those who had been invited, but they didn’t want to
come. Then the king said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those who
were invited were not worthy. Now go out into the streets and invite everyone you
find to the wedding feast.’ The servants went out and gathered together everyone they

could find, until the wedding hall was filled with guests.”

“Jesus invites us to build the civilization of love together.”
INVITATION
Pope Francis (Pope from 2013-2025)
Ask your child what the word ‘invitation’ means to them. Then
each of you tell one another about the best invitation that you’ve
ever had. What was good about it? Have you ever refused an
invitation? How does it feel when you invite someone to a party?
How does it feel when someone invites you for tea, to play or
to a wedding? It may help your child if you tell them about an
invitation which you would most like to receive, and say why.
Dear Lord Jesus, please help us to remember that every moment of the day you
are inviting us into your love, to share in your happiness and peace. Amen.

Every moment God is inviting us into a loving relationship. We
accept God’s invitation through loving him and all those
around us. As a family, think about someone you could invite to
your home for a meal or to play (when the time is right) - to
make them feel especially valued and loved. This week, why
not accept Pope Francis’ invitation (above) to learn to pray every
day – inviting God to guide you in all you do and in all you say?

“Now go _ _ _ into the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and invite
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ you _ _ _ _ to the feast.”
God’s invitation is for right here – right now! When we put
our faith in Jesus and invite him into our lives, he can help
us. We also discover the happiness that comes from knowing
that God is our Father and that we are God’s children.
