Loving Father, who receives all who are willing to come, let us not be surprised or disturbed by those who abide in your kingdom, but wipe away our prejudices and let us welcome as sisters and brothers all those whom you love, through Christ our redeemer, who loved us to the end and reigns with you in the Holy Spirit in glory forever. Amen.
‘Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both good and bad, so the wedding hall was filled with guests.’ – Matthew 22:10
