October 12—28th Sunday in Ordinary Time
12 de octubre—28º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
You’re invited to a banquet
Ten invito a un banquete
La fiesta es imprescindible para los
Celebrations
are indispensable for
everyone and no one considers rejecting an invitation. We
celebrate in the middle of the biggest problems and
anxieties; such manifestations of joy are signs of hope and
a vision for the future, despite all the difficulties we face.
Yet if perhaps out of shyness, being unfamiliar with how
to dress or behave outside our usual environment, and not
knowing how to correspond. Attending the wedding of a
prince can be a heavy burden for our pockets and
possibilities. You have to wear nice clothes and give them
an expensive gift. Furthermore, you would have to
correspond in the same manner and there is no way you
could host a party of such magnitude in your own home;
so you would have to rent a hall, cater, and purchase
invitations… It is possible!
The funny thing is that we are always invited to a
feast with the king. It is God himself who invites us and
promises this feast will wipe away every tear. To accept
such an invitation, which is an honor and in a way a right,
since we are children of God and heirs of the Kingdom,
does not represent a waste of money but has its demands.
When it comes to responding to such a invitation,
it requires a reciprocal invitation, in other words, to invite
someone who previously invited us, into our homes, to be
part of our lives, to be present in our struggles and joys.
We all know that we behave when there are guests; we
don’t mistreat other family members; we keep things
orderly and clean; we prepare the best meal, and have the
biggest smile to welcome visitors. The same thing
happens with the invitation to God: we are on our best
behavior; prepared and willing, and bring out the best in
us. Can you imagine how our daily life would be if we
could do this? Relationships would improve, the home
environment would be better; there would be greater
peace and, certainly, more joy and happiness. The thing is,
that often refusing an invitation leaves us wearing our
own clothing (even if it is rags) and in our own comfort.
We prefer not to leave where we are, because it would
entail a great deal of effort…
But God continues to invite… and if we don’t
come, he goes out to find us along the way. Just as we are,
because to enter a celebration with a heart open to change
will give us new clothing, a new attitude, and the desire to
walk in another path; and our home will open up to the
presence of God who wishes to dine with us.

hispanos y nadie
piensa en rechazar una invitación. Hacemos fiesta en
medio de los mayores problemas y angustias, y tales
manifestaciones de alegría son signos de esperanza y de
visión hacia el futuro, a pesar de todas las dificultades a
las que nos podemos enfrentar. Pero si una persona muy,
muy importante nos invitara, es posible que nos lo
pensáramos dos veces, quizá por timidez, por no saber
bien qué vestir o cómo comportarnos en lugares tan
distintos a los habituales nuestros, o por no saber cómo
corresponder. Ir a la boda de un príncipe puede resultar
una carga muy pesada para nuestro bolsillo y nuestras
posibilidades. Habría que llevar buena ropa y un regalo
bastante caro,. Además, normalmente habría que
corresponder, y para ello, no podríamos tener una fiesta de
esa envergadura en nuestra propia casa. Habría que
alquilar un local, buscar un buen catering, gastar en
invitaciones… ¡Es imposible!
Lo gracioso es que siempre estamos invitados a la
fiesta del rey. Es Dios mismo quien nos invita y quien
promete que en esa fiesta se enjugará toda lágrima. El
aceptar tal invitación, que es un honor y, en cierto modo,
un derecho ya que somos hijos de Dios y herederos del
Reino, no supone un gasto de dinero, pero sí que tiene sus
exigencias.
En cuanto a la respuesta a tal invitación, se
requiere una invitación recíproca, es decir: invitar a quien
nos ha invitado a entrar en nuestra casa, a ser parte de
nuestra vida, a estar presente en nuestras luchas y en
nuestros gozos. Todos sabemos que “cuando hay visita’
nos comportamos bien; no tratamos a otros miembros de
la familia de mala manera; tenemos las cosas en orden y
limpias; preparamos nuestra mejor comida y tenemos
nuestra mejor sonrisa para recibir a quien llega. Lo mismo
con la invitación a Dios: nuestro comportamiento será el
mejor; estaremos preparados y dispuestos y sacaremos lo
mejor de nosotros mismos. ¿Se imaginan cómo sería la
vida diaria si pudiéramos hacer esto? Las relaciones
mejorarían; el ambiente del hogar sería mucho mejor;
habría más paz y, ciertamente, más alegría y felicidad. La
cosa es que a menudo no aceptar la invitación nos deja en
nuestro propio traje (aunque sea andrajoso) y en nuestra
propia comodidad. Preferimos no salir de donde estamos,
porque salir supondría mucho esfuerzo…
Pero Dios signue invitando… y si no acudimos,
saldrá a los caminos a buscarnos. Como estemos, porque
al entrar en la fiesta, con el corazón abierto al cambio, se
nos dará el traje nuevo, la nueva actitud, el deseo de
caminar de otra manera; y nuestra casa podrá abrirse a la
presencia de Dios que quiere comer con nosotros.
