Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Thoughts From this Sunday’s Readings by Fr. John
Previous reflections can be found on his blog at
FrJohnMurphy.blogspot.com
Holy Trinity
welcomes our newest parishioners!
Ricky & Lora Crowe
Philip & Cynthia Grasser
Maria Sánchez
In today’s gospel, Matthew 22:1-14, we move out of the Lord’s
vineyard into the King’s banquet hall. Here Jesus presents two
parables, the Parable of the King’s Wedding Feast and the Parable
of the Wedding Garment. He directs the parable of the King’s
Wedding Feast to the chief priests and elders and the parable of the
Wedding Garment to us.
Dinner Dance
Saturday
October 18
7pm
Once again Jesus warns the chief priests and elders that they are
about to be disinherited from the Kingdom of Heaven because they
constantly refuse his invitation to join him at the feast. This is no
ordinary feast. Isaiah describes it in the first reading (Is 25:6-10a)
as “a feast of rich food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure,
choice wines.” There is more than food offered here. At this feast
God “will destroy death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away
the tears from every face.” This is the feast of salvation. Not only
do the chief priests and elders refuse the invitation to attend the
feast, they kill the King’s servants bearing the invitation. So, the
King, in a fit of rage, “sent his troops, destroyed those murderers,
and burned their city.” Jerusalem was, in fact, destroyed by the
Romans in A.D. 70.
Loreto Hall
It’s that time of year again!
Come and be merry in an old
traditional European atmosphere.
Bring your family, neighbors and friends.
All are welcome!
The next part of this parable and the Parable of the Wedding
Garment contain good news and bad news for us. The good news
is that because the leaders of Israel rejected the invitation to join
the Heavenly feast, God extends his invitation to all of us. Everyone is invited to God’s Heavenly feast. HOWEVER, God expects
us to attend His feast properly attired. What is proper attire for the
wedding feast? St. Paul tells us in Ephesians 4: 24 -28. We are
expected to “put on the new self, created in God's way in righteousness and holiness of truth. Therefore, putting away falsehood,
speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, for we are members one
of another. Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun set on your
anger, and do not leave room for the devil.” The wedding garment
is our new life in Christ. It is the symbol of our conversion, our
repentance and our acceptance of Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

En el Evangelio de hoy, Mateo 22: 1-14, nos movemos de la viña del
Señor al banquete del Señor. Aquí Jesús nos presenta dos parábolas, la
Parábola del banquete de bodas y la Parábola del vestido de bodas. Él
dirige la parábola del Banquete de bodas del rey a los sumos sacerdotes
y a los ancianos del pueblo y la parábola del Vestido de bodas a nosotros.

Confesiones: todos los viernes a las 5:30 pm, sábados 9:45am,
o por cita llamando al 770-487-7672 Ext. 311.
Una vez más Jesús le advierte a los sumos sacerdotes y a los ancianos
del pueblo que ellos van a estar a punto de ser desheredados del Reino
de los cielos porque ellos rehusaban su invitación para venir a la fiesta.
Esta no es una fiesta corriente. Isaías la describe en la primera lectura
(Is 25: 6-10a) como “un banquete con platillos suculentos, con vinos
exquisitos y manjares sustanciosos.” Aquí se ofrece algo más que
comida. En este banquete Dios “destruirá la muerte para siempre. El
Señor Dios enjugará las lágrimas de todos los rostros.” Esta es la fiesta
de la salvación. No solo los sumos sacerdotes y los ancianos del pueblo
rechazaron la invitación de asistir al banquete, sino que ellos mataron a
los criados que habían sido invitados. Así que, el Rey, lleno de cólera,
“mandó a sus tropas, que dieron muerte a aquellos asesinos y prendieron fuego a la ciudad.” De hecho, Jerusalén fue destruída por los
romanos en el 70 AD.
