TWENTY EIGHTH SUNDAY YEAR A
Matthew 22:1-14
The Church, which has a foretaste of the heavenly banquet, must go to the crossroads in order to invite
to the wedding feast all those it encounters…but also to teach them the demands of the kingdom of
heaven. Christians assembled around the Lord’s table have the heavy responsibility to manifest to others
the real nature of the true Church & the meaning of participation in the Eucharist, the “summit toward
which the activity of the Church is directed…& also the fount from which all her power flows.” (Vat.2)
Each one has the duty to act in such a way that most people become aware of the invitation to the Lord’s
meal, and many are moved to join them when they see Christians celebrating. This demands that
Christians show themselves “having put on Christ” as attested by their good works.
Day of the Lord Vol. 4 P220
Lord, our help and guide, make your love the foundation of our lives. May our love for you express itself
in our eagerness to do good for others. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen
