tealinDay 27 of my Lent project. For background, please read this.
A reading from the Gospel according to the GOP:
Luke 14:12-14
He said also to the one who had invited him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbours, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

He said also to the one who had invited him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, invite your friends and brothers and relatives and rich neighbours, so they may invite you in return, and not only will you be repaid for your banquet, but strong social bonds will be established amongst your family and wider social network. For family is the foundation of everything, and reaching out to those with more power and influence, by blessing them with your hospitality, is how to move up in the world. By the generosity of your fellowship you will come into the fullness of God's intentions for you."
Luke 14:12-14
