COME TO THE FEAST
“On this mountain, the Lord of hosts / will provide for all peoples / a
feast of rich food and choice wines” (Isaiah 25:6). That’s what
Isaiah tells us today. God is putting together a huge party for “all
peoples,” to “wipe away / the tears from every face” (Isaiah 25:8).
And what does Jesus tell us? The reign of God, he says, “may be
likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son” (Matthew
22:2). When the guests didn’t come, the king had his servants go
out “into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find”
(Matthew 22:9). We are called to deliver that invitation.
One of the themes woven into today’s liturgy is that of divine
generosity. Asleep to reality, people often think they have “earned”
what they have. In our better moments, though, we know that all
our gifts—even the spiritual gifts—come through God’s generosity.
Our vocation is to invite people, to remind them the tickets aren’t for
sale. We can only show up and say thank you.

Announcements
Project Advance is now under way at most parishes
throughout the Archdiocese. Our annual appeal is an
opportunity for us to meet the ideals of Christian
Stewardship, to become aware of our blessings and to use
them accordingly for the growth of and benefit of God's
kingdom in the Archdiocese of Vancouver. Project Advance
helps support so many worthwhile activities and services
in our Archdiocese and in our parishes. It's easy to give online by visiting www.rcav.org/giving and designate your parish as the
recipient. While online, you can also view this year's video and read more on Project Advance. Together, let us continue to live
gratefully and give generously.
