Generous God, who invites us to join you in your kingdom, keep us from spurning your invitations, that we would not in our foolishness refuse your generosity and raise any other thing as more important than your love and your ways, through Jesus our teacher, who showed us the way and now abides with you and the Holy Spirit in glory forever. Amen.
‘He sent his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding banquet, but they would not come.’ – Matthew 22:3
