Marriage: Four Months Notice Confession: Sat. 4-4:45 pm Life in the kingdom of God has often been compared to a banquet. Isaiah describes the eschatological banquet which God will prepare not only for the Chosen people, but for all peoples. The banquet is more than earthly because within it, “God will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth.” Those who are privileged to take part in it know that they have been saved for they will “rejoice and be glad in his salvation.” It is interesting to note that Israel believed that the coming of the anointed one will usher in the “in-gathering” of the nation when God will prepared a sumptuous banquet for all. The “in -gathering” of the nation would begin, according to Israel’s understanding with the coming of the Messiah on whom the arm of the Lord would rest. This idea of calling together evokes a gathering that began in the Exodus, the “in gathering” from the diaspora of all the children of God scattered among the Gentile nations. It is also a sign of the gathering of the new chosen people of God which is the beginning of the Messianic era as proclaimed by the prophet Ezekiel. According to the Messianic expectation, the divine promises directly addressed to Israel would reach fulfillment when God himself had gathered his people through his Chosen One as a shepherd gathers his flock: ‘I will save my flock, they shall no longer be a prey… I will set up over one shepherd, my servant David, and he shall feed them; he shall feed them and be their shepherd. And I, the Lord, shall be their God, and my servant David will be prince among them’ (Ez 34:22-24). (Pope Benedict XVI, Jesus, the Apostles and the Early Church: General Audiences, 15th March 2006—14th February 2007 (san Francisco: Ignatius Press 2007), 14.) Those invited to the banquet are called out of God’s graciousness. They have a responsibility to attend in the right frame of mind and with good dispositions. When God calls, we should have no excuses. Nothing is more important than the call of God: family, business, wife, husband, mother, father or children. God knows we need these people in our life but he still wants us to give him the prime of place in our heart and life. “Seek you first the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness and all other things will be added to you” (Matt 6:33). God has given more than enough grace to all to attain eternal life but sadly, some deliberately choose not to cooperate with God. The door is open for all sinners to come in but the sinner must not remain a sinner within the banquet hall of God.
