Tips to keep our children safe: Please do not allow your children to leave your sight while at church. Do not allow them to go to the restroom or out to the car alone. Children need to be supervised by a parent or adult at all times while attending any church-related function. Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 12, 2014 I can do all things in him who strengthens me. — Philippians 4:13 OVERVIEW OF THE GOSPEL As in the last several Sunday’s readings, Jesus’ condemnation of the Jewish leaders continues. It is the Wednesday before Good Friday—even as he is condemning them, Jesus continues to offer them Divine Mercy: a last chance for them to see themselves in his parables, and to accept him and his message. *Jesus switches from the image of the vineyard that we have been hearing the last three weeks, to that of the wedding feast. In the Old Testament, the wedding feast was used as an image of the Messianic kingdom to come (see Isaiah 25:6-10, our first reading). In biblical society, this feast was of high social importance. To make light of an invitation was considered the height of rudeness—even an occasion of violent retribution. While the king’s invitation was urgent (verse 4); the response was very much not so (verses 5-6). Thus, when the invited were not worthy (verse 8), then the unworthy were invited (verses 9-10). Jesus’ parable highlights God’s impartial treatment of all who are called—Jews and Gentiles alike. He rewards and punishes on the basis of one’s acceptance or rejection of his call (Romans 2:6-11)to his people. What are they? QUESTIONS of the Sundays Gospel • Why is the banquet in Jesus' parable being held? • What do you learn about those originally invited, what is so surprising about their response? • Who did the king eventually invite? Why? • What is the problem with the one guest (verses 1112)? What does it mean to be in the king’s presence “without a wedding garment”? What is its significance (Revelation 21:27; 6:9-11; 7:9-10, 13-14)? Why is this ill -clad guest banished? • What does it mean to accept Jesus’ invitation? What is he inviting you to? • What kind of excuses have you given for not responding to Jesus’ invitation? What kind of change are you afraid he wants of you? • With whom do you identify with in this story and why? Catechism of the Catholic Church: §§ 546, 796 TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — On this mountain the LORD will make for all peoples a feast of rich food and choice wines (Isaiah 25:6-10a). Psalm — I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life (Psalm 23). Second Reading — God will supply whatever you need (Philippians 4:12-14, 19-20). Gospel — I have prepared my banquet, and everything is ready. Come to the feast! (Matthew 22:1-14 [1-10]).

LA VOZ LATINA Vigésimo Octavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 12 de octubre de 2014 Todo lo puedo unido a aquél me da fuerza. — Filipenses 4:13 VENGAN A LA FIESTA “El Señor de los Ejércitos preparará para todos los pueblos en este cerro, una comida con jugosos asados y buenos vinos” (Isaías 25:6). Esto es lo que Isaías nos dice hoy. Dios está organizando una inmensa fiesta para “todos los pueblos”, para “enjugar las lágrimas de todos los rostros”. ¿Y qué es lo que Jesús nos dice? “El reino de Dios”, él dice, es como “lo que le sucedió a un rey que celebró las bodas de su hijo” (Mateo 22:2). Cuando los invitados no acudieron, el rey mandó a sus sirvientes a que fueran “a las esquinas de las calles y conviden a la boda a todos los que encuentren” (Mateo 22:9). Nosotros somos llamados a distribuir esta invitación. Uno de los temas entrelazado con la liturgia de hoy es el referente a la generosidad divina. Ausente de la realidad, la gente a menudo asume que ha “ganado” lo que tiene. En nuestros mejores momentos, sin embargo, somos conscientes de que todos nuestros dones, incluyendo los espirituales, provienen de la generosidad de Dios. Nuestra misión es invitar a la gente, recordarles que las entradas no están a la venta. Lo único que podem os hacer es acudir y dar las gracias.© J. S. Paluch Oración a la Sagrada Familia departe del PAPA FRANCISCO Jesús, María y José en vosotros contemplamos el esplendor del verdadero amor, a vosotros, confiados, nos dirigimos. Santa Familia de Nazaret, haz también de nuestras familias lugar de comunión y cenáculo de oración, auténticas escuelas del Evangelio y pequeñas Iglesias domésticas. Santa Familia de Nazaret, que nunca más haya en las familias episodios de violencia, de cerrazón y división; que quien haya sido herido o escandalizado sea pronto consolado y curado. Santa Familia de Nazaret, que el próximo Sínodo de los Obispos haga tomar conciencia a todos del carácter sagrado e inviolable de la familia, de su belleza en el proyecto de Dios. Jesús, María y José, escuchad, acoged nuestra súplica.
