Go and Invite Everyone to the Banquet
Pope Francis reflects on Matthew 22:1-14 when a king, having a wedding feast for his son, invites the elite who refuses to attend and then sends his servants out to the highways and the byways to “invite to the marriage feast as many as you find.” He stresses invitation, the Eucharistic banquet, and “everyone.”

During a recent Mission Consult, Don McCrabb provided a brief summary of the key points and invited us to consider how mission leaders will use this message for their own spiritual growth as well their missionary promotion.
Developed by our programs committee, Mission Consult is a time for missioners and leaders in mission to come together and consult with each other about issues facing mission today.
We explored the themes of Go, Invite Everyone, the message from Pope Francis for World Mission Day 2024.
