LITURGICAL ROLES

THIS WEEK

A man went to visit a friend and was amazed to find

him playing cards with his dog. He watched the game

in amazement for a while. “I can hardly believe my

eyes!” he exclaimed. “That’s the smartest dog I’ve ev-

er seen.” “Nah, he’s not so smart—he has a tell,” the

friend replied. “Every time he gets a good hand, he

wags his tail.”

WEEKLY MASS SCHEDULE

"He dispatched his servants

to summon the invited

guests to the feast, but they

refused to come." Why? What

made the king's invitation so

distasteful to these guests?

According to the parable,

either the guests were too

busy with their farms and their businesses, or else they

were downright hostile to the entire idea: they "laid hold

of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them." What

could possibly explain this resistance?

Perhaps we have a clue in the puzzling conclusion of to-

day's Gospel. One of the second-string guests pulled in

from the streets came to the feast "not dressed in a wed-

ding garment." The man knew he was guilty, hence his

silence. And the king's punishment suggests that the

fellow ought to have known better. This "wedding gar-

ment" calls to mind the preparation of our souls neces-

sary to join in the great "wedding feast of the Lamb" (Rv

19:9), that is, heaven. This man was apparently just too

lazy to get ready. He presumed that having received an

invitation to the banquet was enough, that nothing was

required of him. Not so. He should have demonstrated

his gratitude by dressing appropriately. And what of the

first-string guests? Some were too busy to bother com-

ing; others were furious that they had been invited at

all. Now, where do we fit in? Are we more concerned

with worldly work than with spiritual growth? Are we

offended by the very suggestion that we might need to

"dress up" our souls? Or are we the disinterested Chris-

tian, willing to feast but too lazy to foster his faith? Je-

sus gave his life to open the gates of heaven for us. Let's

show our gratitude by preparing radiant, beautiful souls

worthy of the heavenly wedding feast.
