Reading 1 · Philippians 2:5-11

Brothers and sisters: Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus, Who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and, found human in appearance, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Gospel · Luke 14:15-24

One of those at table with Jesus said to him, 'Blessed is the one who will dine in the Kingdom of God.' He replied to him, 'A man gave a great dinner to which he invited many. When the time for the dinner came, he dispatched his servant to say to those invited, “Come, everything is now ready.” But one by one, they all began to excuse themselves. The first said to him, “I have purchased a field and must go to examine it; I ask you, consider me excused.” And another said, “I have purchased five yoke of oxen and am on my way to evaluate them; I ask you, consider me excused.” And another said, “I have just married a woman, and therefore I cannot come.” The servant went and reported this to his master. Then the master of the house in a rage commanded his servant, “Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in here the poor and the crippled, the blind and the lame.” The servant reported, “Sir, your orders have been carried out and still there is room.” The master then ordered the servant, “Go out to the highways and hedgerows and make people come in that my home may be filled. For, I tell you, none of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.”'

Qaujimajavut

Ullaakkut, qiviartariaqarpugut inuusiup iluani, qanuq inuusiq asanniniqarpalaurmat. Qanuq takujariaqarpugut silami? Paulusa titiraqtuq Philippians-kunnut, uqaqtuq, 'Who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave.' Paulusa uqaqtuq asannininganik, qanuq ataniq inuusiup iluani tunijaupalaurmat. Benjamin, taanna qaujimajavut tallimat pivalliajut, nuannaartuq, qajangnartuq, pinniqtuq. Taanna nalligivikluq, nalligikpatiklu qitiqquqsimajuq. Ilisimaliqput inuusiup iluani, qanuq Benjamin asanniniqarpalaurmat, qanuq ataniq asannininga kikkutuinnarnut tunijaupalaurmat. Taimanna atautikkut, qaujimajavut qanugitilluta.

Qanuq inuusiq tusaajariaqarpugut? Gospel-mi Luke-mi, Jesus uqaqtuq dinner-mi, qanuq kikkut invitalaurmat, qanuq kikkut excuse-liliurmat. Master-lu uqaqtuq, 'Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in here the poor and the crippled, the blind and the lame.' Qanuq taanna dinner, banquet of heaven, kikkut kativaktut? Benjamin, taanna 'con chim airlines'-mik uqalaurmat, quviasulluni. Taanna qajuqtuq inuusiup iluani, ataniup asannininga ilisimallugu. Ilisimaliqput taanna asanniniq, kikkut nalligijavut aniguqtilaaqtut. Alan and Thao, I know the weight of these past four months. I know the way the world can seem to lose its color when you are carrying such a heavy cross. But look at the Gospel, look at the master who fills his house. God is filling His house with love, and Benjamin is there, resting in the light, smiling that gentle, brilliant smile.

Ryan, my dear brother, your brother Ben loved you. He was your partner. When you look at the sky, when you see a plane soaring high, remember that Ben's spirit is soaring too. He is free, he is full of light, and he is watching over you with a bright, gentle smile. Kikkut ilissik uqumaittumik atuqtut, kikkut uqalurialiqtut iluani, nalligivikluq ataniq qaninganiittuq. Ilisimajariaqarpugut ataniq qaninganiittuq. Ilissik ilisimajariaqarpugut asanniniq aniguqtilaaqtuq.

What can you carry out the door today? Take the peace of Christ. Take the memory of Benjamin's radiant smile. Know that you are deeply loved, held, and never alone. Benjamin Vo, taanna asanniniq, taanna qaujimajavut tallimat pivalliajut. Taanna qaujimajavut inuusiup iluani, qanuq inuusiq asanniniqarpalaurmat. Benjamin, taanna qaujimajavut tallimat pivalliajut, nuannaartuq, qajangnartuq, pinniqtuq. Taanna nalligivikluq, nalligikpatiklu qitiqquqsimajuq.
