Saturday of week 12 in Ordinary Time
First reading – Genesis 18:1-15
In the hospitality of Abraham there is lot to learn. We always want to avoid people who wants to bring to us more work. But Abraham is different. He finds these three men. He runs to them. He begs them to stay with him. This is the beauty of his generosity, of his heart. Then he shares the best of what he has with others. “Then running to the cattle Abraham took a fine and tender calf and gave it to the servant, who hurried to prepare it. Then taking cream, milk and the calf he had prepared, he laid all before them, and they ate while he remained standing near them under the tree”. This attitude of Abraham is something we have to learn. This is just a deep desire to welcome and to share. This comes from his faith in God. He has nothing to lose but only to share, because God is with him. Let’s reflect: Am I challenged by the mentality of Abraham to welcome and to share?
