Ralph Barile THE WEDDING FEAST AND THE WEDDING GARMENT .SOME GUY; I DON’T WWNT TO GO TO THAT AWFUL WEDDING AND I DON’T WANT TO WEAR THAT WEDDING SUIT JESUS: YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT. THE WEDDING IS HEAVEN AND WEARINGTHE GARMENT IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET THERE © JCM, 2014 THE WEDDING FEAST AND THE WEDDING GARMENT The Gospel story is the parable of the Wedding Feast and the Wedding Garment. Now the first temptation is to interpret the parable as if one were saying, “Who wants to go to that silly old party?” Yeah. But that party is eternal life. You see. We should always see the real spiritual lessons behind these bible stories, no matter how interesting those stories may be. Yeah. “Who wants to go to that silly old wedding?” and “Why should I put on my best clothes?” Oops Now I see what he is getting at. He is inviting us to follow his gospel. He is telling us that the people he first invited are not worthy. Well if we want to be worthy we have to make a change in our lives. That’s the point of the turning down the invitation and the wedding garment. Even though we are invited to take the place of the people who turned down the first invitation, we have to be worthy ourselves. And now we apply it to 2014. Yes. We are invited to receive the sacraments. But there are certain requirements that we have to follow. © J. C. Mulqueen, 2014 Saint Callistus I Feast day October 14 Callistus was born in the late second century as a slave to a Christian master. His master noticed that Callistus had skill in finance and put him in charge of a bank. Some enemies of Callistus falsely accused him of embezzlement. Terrified, Callistus tried to escape from Rome. He was caught and condemned to the mines of Sardinia. After partially serving his sentence, he was released so that he might recover some of the money. He was arrested for fighting and sent back to the mines. Fortunately for him and other Christians, Marcia, the emperor’s mistress, won their release. Pope Zephyrinus made Callistus manager of the burial grounds. Even today the land is named the cemetery of Saint Callistus. Callistus proved himself responsible and was ordained a deacon. In 217, Callistus was elected as the next pontiff. This shocked Hippolytus and his followers. In rebellion, this group elected Hippolytus as pope, later known as the first antipope.This made two men who claimed to be pope. A schism, or split, in the Church went on for 18 years. Pope Callistus I gently tried to encourage Hippolytus to understand his error. At the same time, Callistus tried to make wise rules for the Church. He felt there should be mercy for those who had fallen away during persecution but who later repented. Callistus said the Church has the authority to forgive all sins. This angered Hippolytus, who felt that Callistus was lenient. Hippolytus wrote bitterly about the pope, who bore the insults calmly and humbly. Callistus I remained steady in his desire to bring peace to the Church. He was martyred in a riot.
