From the very beginning, God’s plan of salvation was never meant for one people alone. Through Isaiah’s radical welcome of the foreigner, the Psalmist’s cry for all nations to praise God, Paul’s stunning revelation of mercy upon all, and a Canaanite woman’s undefeated faith at the border of Gentile territory — Scripture tells one story: the table is set, and everyone is invited. A Catholic reflection on the universal mission of God’s salvation.
