Mark's turn to focus on one of Jesus' most powerful sayings: That anything we do, good or bad is done to the Divine Itself. We are co-creators with God and we make the world that we live in.

It's just as valid to pull ourselves up on the things we DON'T do which could be good...

Today Maggy is feeling a bit like the one giving out the invitations ... we look at the humility of offering whether or not the people wish to come.
