TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
OCTOBER 12, 2014
The Lord invites us to a banquet (3),
one of the favorite images of messianic times (1).
This banquet is spread before us (Ps)
and can fully satisfy our needs (2),
yet how often have we refused the Lord’s
invitation to share in the riches prepared for us (3)?
Thought for the Day
COME TO THE FEAST
“On this mountain, the Lord of hosts/will provide for all people/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 people” 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.

you have a special talent when it comes to making gifts for family
and friends? Or do you love whipping up delicious baked treats that
people just can't get enough of? If so, here is a perfect opportunity to share
it with the Resurrection Community, while helping to raise money for our
school.
The school is planning a Holiday Boutique to be held in the Farana Center
Hall on Friday, December 5, from 12-6:30 pm and Saturday, December 6,
from 9 am-6.30 pm. We are looking to showcase a variety of vendors,
