This Sunday’s Reflection
- Father Stephen.
The wedding banquet in today’s Gospel is that of Jesus,
for he is the king’s son, the bridegroom who is in love
with the human race and who invites everyone to the
banquet prepared by his Father. Jesus refers to himself
as a bridegroom quite early in Matthew’s Gospel and
returns to this same image in his parable of the
bridesmaids, half of whom were well prepared, with oil in
their lamps ready to burn at the appropriate time, but the
other half did nothing, only to find that they were too late
to attend the wedding. The image of the wedding
banquet is a daring one, highlighting the intimacy of love
into which Jesus calls us. This Mass we are now
celebrating is the banquet. This is, as we now say before
communion “the Banquet of the Lamb”, where we
disciples of Jesus come together to hear Jesus speak
words of love to us in the Liturgy of the Word, and give
himself for us, and to us, in the
Liturgy of the Eucharist. The
Catechism of the Catholic
Church states: “The faithful are
obliged to participate in the
Eucharist on days of obligation,
unless excused for a serious
reason. Those who deliberately
fail in this obligation commit a
grave
sin”(n.2181).
The
Catechism goes on to say
(n.1380), quoting Pope JohnPaul II: “The Church and the
world have a great need for
Eucharistic
worship.
Jesus
awaits us in this sacrament of
love. Let us not refuse the time to go to meet him in
adoration, in contemplation full of faith, and open to
making amends for the serious offences and crimes of
the world. Let our adoration never cease”. As incredible
as it may seem, some people turn down the invitation to
attend the banquet. They either ignore it completely or
become so involved in their own concerns they have no
time for it. This is the case not only in the parable but
also in our world today. An invitation to the banquet that
we celebrate at each Sunday Mass does not seem to be
as attractive as a sports event, the latest movie, or some
social affair or just getting a couple extra hours of sleep.
And so we send our regrets: I cannot come. What a
shame! We seem to have forgotten that everything is
tending toward the end; life itself is moving toward the
time of the eternal banquet. All of our plans, all of our
interests, all of our distractions will cease. Only the
eternal banquet will remain. Will we have turned down
the invitation to attend? Even when we decide to attend
our Sunday celebration, it must be done with full and
active participation. We need to pray aloud together, we
need to lift our voices aloud together in song, and we
need to participate in this festal celebration of the liturgy
fully with body, mind and heart.
Reflexion de este Domingo
- Padre Stephen.
El banquete de bodas en el Evangelio de hoy es el de
Jesús, porque él es el hijo del rey, el novio, que está
enamorado de los humanos y que invita a todos al
banquete preparado por su Padre. Jesús se refiere a sí
mismo como un novio en el Evangelio de San Mateo y
vuelve a hacerlo en su parábola de las diez virgenes, la
mitad de los cuales estaban bien preparadas, con aceite
en sus lámparas, listas para ser encendidas en el
momento apropiado, pero la otra mitad no se prepararon,
sólo al momento de entrar vieron que ya era demasiado
tarde para asistir a la boda. La imagen del banquete de la
boda es muy atrevido, destacando la intimidad del amor al
que Jesús nos llama. Esta Misa que celebramos ahora es
el banquete. Esto es, como decimos antes de la
comunión "el Banquete del Cordero", donde nosotros,
discípulos de Jesús, venimos para escuchar a Jesús
deciendonos palabras de amor en la Liturgia de la
Palabra, y venimos a recibir a Jesús quien se da a sí
mismo por nosotros, y para
nosotros, en la Liturgia de la
Eucaristía. El Catecismo de la
Iglesia Católica afirma: "Los
fieles están obligados a participar
en la Eucaristía los días de
precepto, a no ser que esten
excusados por una razón seria...
Los que deliberadamente faltan
en esta obligación cometen un
pecado grave "(n.2181). El
Catecismo continúa diciendo
(n.1380), citando al Papa Juan
Pablo Segundo: "La Iglesia y el
mundo
tienen
una
gran
necesidad del culto eucarístico.
Jesús nos espera en este sacramento del amor. No
escatimemos tiempo para ir a encontrarlo en la adoración,
en la contemplación llena de fe y abierta a reparar las
faltas graves y delitos del mundo. No cese nunca nuestra
adoración". Por increíble que parezca, algunas personas
rechazan la invitación para asistir al banquete. O bien lo
ignoran por completo o se involucran tanto en sus propias
preocupaciones que no tienen tiempo para ello. Este es el
caso no sólo en la parábola, sino también en nuestro
mundo de hoy. Una invitación al banquete, que
celebramos en cada misa dominical no parece ser tan
atractivo, como un evento deportivo, la película de
estreno, algún asunto social o simplemente tener un par
de horas más de sueño. Y ofrecemos nuestras disculpas
diciendo: lo siento no puedo ir. Qué lástima! Parece que
hemos olvidado que todo tiende hacia el final; la vida
misma se está moviendo hacia el tiempo del banquete
eterno. Todos nuestros planes, todos nuestros intereses,
todas nuestras distracciones cesarán. Sólo el banquete
eterno permanecerá. ¿Hemos rechazado la invitación
para asistir? Incluso cuando decidimos asistir a nuestra
celebración dominical, debemos de hacerlo con una
participación plena y activa. Tenemos que orar en voz
alta, tenemos que unir nuestras voces a las canciones, y
tenemos que participar en esta fiesta de la celebración
liturgia totalmente con el cuerpo, la mente y el corazón.

Thanksgiving Prayer:
Oh Dios, cuando yo tenga comida,
ayúdame a recordar al hambriento;
Cuando yo tenga trabajo,
ayúdame a recordar al desempleado;
Cuando yo tenga un hogar,
ayúdame a recordar los que no tienen un hogar;
Cuando yo este sin dolor,
ayúdame a recordar a los que sufren;
y, pedirte para que me ayude a dejar mi
satisfaccion,
Suscitando en mi compasión y preocupación
por los demás
para ayudar, con palabra y obra,
a aquellos que claman por lo que hemos recibo.
O God, when I have food,
help me to remember the hungry;
When I have work,
help me to remember the jobless;
When I have a home,
help me to remember those who have no
home at all;
When I am without pain,
help me to remember those who suffer;
And, in remembering, help me to destroy
my complacency,
bestir in me compassion and concern for others
to help, in word and deed,
those who cry out for what we take for granted.
Amén.
Amen.
