28th Sunday in Ordinary Time
H e 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 today's Gospel. One of the
second-string guests pulled in from the streets came to the feast "not dressed in a wedding
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 garment" calls to mind the preparation
of our souls necessary 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 coming; 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 Christian, willing to feast but too lazy to foster his faith? Jesus 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.

Adult Faith Formation:
Baptism-Parent Letters In the Sacrament of Baptism,
our children are welcomed
into new life in Christ. With this special gift, comes
the awesome responsibility of raising them in the
Catholic faith. Our parish celebrates the addition of
these tiny new members and wants to reach out to new
parents and support them in their parenting journey.
Within the next couple of months, new parents will be
invited to learn more about the Sacrament of Baptism
and dialogue with more “seasoned” parents.
In addition, letters from the parish will be sent
to new parents twice a year for three years. These
letters will offer advice on how to bring the teachings
and love of Christ into your home, and each letter will
include a special gift for your child.
The king was so happy with the people who responded to his invitation. They came dressed and prepared to
the banquet.
