Limerick

At a feast where the humble are sought,
He spoke of the lessons He’d taught,
“Choose seats low,” was His call,
“To be honored by all,”
And kindness in service is wrought.

Potential actions to take in response

A practical way to respond to Luke 14:1, 7-14 is to practice humility and kindness in your daily interactions. For example, when you’re at social gatherings or events, instead of seeking out the most prominent or popular person, make an effort to genuinely connect with someone who might feel overlooked. Offer a compliment or kind word to someone who seems uncomfortable or shy. This reflects the idea of not just seeking status or recognition but valuing others equally. By doing so, you can foster a more inclusive environment and demonstrate humility—recognizing that everyone deserves respect regardless of their status. This simple act of kindness can help create a more welcoming community and embody the message of humility and service found in the passage.
