—900,000 children in some of the poorest parts of the world, receiving
an education and the knowledge of God’s great love
—80,000 seminarians preparing for the priesthood
—9,000 religious Sisters and Brothers in formation programs
…all of this taking place in 1,150 mission dioceses, mostly in Africa and
Asia, where the poorest of the poor receive an education and health care,
while experiencing the loving heart of our Lord through the service of
priests, religious and lay faithful.
Through the work of these churches, and their witness to Christ,
the poor receive practical help and experience God’s love and
mercy, His hope and peace. Please keep the Missions in your
daily prayers. Please come prepared next weekend to give
generously in the collection for the Society for the Propagation of
the Faith. For more information, please visit

OCTOBER—MONTH OF THE
MOST HOLY ROSARY
As we find ourselves at the beginning of a new month, the month
of October, let us be reminded that it is the month dedicated to the
Most Holy Rosary. Let us, as clergy, religious and laity alike
approach the praying of the Rosary with a sense of a renewed
commitment to this important and valuable prayer tradition. May
it, once again, be acknowledged and embraced in the homes of
the faithful, as the prayer of the family.
Let the youth of our parishes,
who are not familiar with this
prayer tradition, be
introduced to it and may
those whom have become
distanced from it, be reintroduced to it as an
instrument and means of
engaging
the
New
Evangelization. Let us, as the
Diocesan Church of
Sacramento, ask the
intercession of Our Lady of
the Rosary for peace in the
Middle East and throughout
our troubled world.
As we approach the 13th of
October, the Anniversary of the Last Apparition in Fatima, let us
be reminded that it was there that the Blessed Virgin identified
herself by proclaiming to the Shepherd Children of Fatima: “I am
the Lady of the Rosary.” As she told them, she reminds and tells
us, in our present day and age: “I will be your refuge.”
Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary of Fatima and Queen of
Peace, pray for us.

TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
'For Many'
IS 25:6-10A
• PHIL 4:12-14,19-20 • MT 22:1-14
W
hen the new translation of our missal was released
just a few years ago, there was much criticism
about the translation of the words of consecration
over the wine. We were used to the words, "It will be shed for
you and for all so that sins may be forgiven." Now the priest
says, "[It] will be poured out for you and for many for the
forgiveness of sins." At first glance (and for many still), it
sounds as if we no longer believe that Jesus died for everyone.
Of course Jesus did die for everyone, but why the change?
Aside from the attempt to more strictly
translate Latin into English, the change
enables us to experience several realities
simultaneously. First, we are returned to a
more faithful translation of the Scriptures.
(Yes, despite opinions to the contrary, the
Catholic Church is a Scripture-based
church, and being faithful to the
Scriptures is of fundamental importance
to the Catholic Church.)
WHERE IS YOUR
Scripturally, the words "the many" are the
opposite of "the few." The culture of Jesus'
day understood groups of people as either
"insiders" or "outsiders." No one would
have understood our phrase "straddle the
fence." You were either in or out. What
Jesus did was radically different from the
past. His culture understood "the few" as
the Jews. In the strict understanding of
themselves as a people, the belief was that
the Messiah was to come only for the
Jews, the insiders. "The many" was understood to be inclusive of all
the nations. We see this in our passage from Isaiah who says "On
this mountain the Lord will provide for all peoples."
We also must enter into the sublime understanding of language
itself. Phrases can have layers of meaning. Part of the goal of the
re-translation of the Roman Missal was to reintroduce the ability
of the language of prayer to recapture layers of meaning in order
to avoid just one meaning, which limits depth of prayer and the
power of the Scriptures.
Yes, Jesus came with an offer of salvation for all people. This is a
doctrine of faith; however, salvation is a gift that must be accepted.
Not everyone has or will accept the gift. This is precisely what we
learn from Jesus' parable of the wedding feast.
This is the third Sunday in a row that the Gospel presents Jesus in
confrontation with leaders. In each confrontation, Jesus uses
parables which point out the unfaithfulness of the leaders, the
insiders. As insiders the Jews had a special relationship with God,
but they had taken it for granted. Two weeks ago we heard that
repentant sinners (outsiders) would enter the kingdom before
those assumed to be chosen for the kingdom (insiders). Last week
we heard about the vineyard and those who decided to take
possession of it for themselves. The punishment was severe for
those who lost sight of the fact that what we have is actually
God's and that it is lent to us in order to produce more goodness,
charity, and mercy.
WEDDING GARMENT?
This week we hear Jesus say that those
originally invited to the feast, those
who appeared to be respectful and
righteous insiders, were so
preoccupied with their own affairs
and agendas that they ignored the
invitation. To refuse an invitation
from a king, whether by intention or
negligence, was an act of rebellion.
Kings dealt with such people quickly
and definitively. Jesus is accusing the
leaders of doing just this, and by
extension, His words warn to us to
pay attention to God's invitation.
For us as Catholics, coming to thee
altar to be in the presence of the
Body and Blood of Christ is a weekly
invitation to the Lord's feast, yet we
too often refuse the invitation.
Sometimes it is hard to do, but we
must enter the mind of Christ and
see our refusal to accept His invitation as an act of rebellion. At
the least, it is an act of taking Christ for granted. To avoid doing
so requires intentional effort to remind ourselves of who God is
and who He is in our lives.
Not only is "the many" a way of saying that the gift of salvation is
offered to everyone, it is a way of saying that many" will accept the
gift, but not everyone does accept. While scholars disagree over the
precise meaning of throwing out the individual who was dressed
inappropriately, it does remind us that God does have standards
and expectations. We cannot lackadaisically respond to God's
invitation.
Our baptismal garment is the appropriate dress for God's
kingdom. We must keep it ready for our turn to enter the wedding
feast. And Isaiah offers a glimpse of a banquet far beyond our
imaging for those who do respond appropriately to God's
invitation.
