October 12th, 2014 What a wonderful reading we have from Isaiah today! It presents the image of the messianic banquet, a time of abundance and grace from God. Jesus, too, presents a banquet story, but his parable introduces a qualification at the end. Consider that we are among the guests recruited from the main roads, “bad and good alike.” We are still expected to prepare ourselves. How are you preparing yourself for the heavenly banquet?

We gather and celebrate the riches that God shares with us. As the prophet Isaiah said, “The Lord of hosts will provide for all peoples a feast of rich food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines.” At the Lord’s Supper, we share the overflowing bounty of God’s blessings. But I also find Sundays to be sad. When I look around at the many people in society who seem to go about their lives with little thought of God, I feel sad. What a loss it is, for them and for us. God is holding a joyous wedding banquet and invites all. “But they refused to come,” as noted in Jesus’ parable today. Lord, help us to share your love with others, and help us to lead them toward you. Msgr. Stephen J. Rossetti Living with Christ, October, 2014 Pray for peace, and non-violence The angels who shine like stars feel sympathy for our human nature and place it before God’s eyes just as if it were a book.
