28th Sunday in Ordinary Time

One of the pranks I pulled a few times with friends in college was to crash a wedding feast at a local banquet hall. Three or four of us would dress up enough to not stand out in the crowd. We would arrive just before dinner and mill around a bit enjoying a free beer and hoping that there would be enough empty seats at a table that we could sit together and not be noticed too much. If the questions got too intense there was always the excuse that we were really there to scope out the band for the wedding of one of us. As a last resort to close scrutiny, there was always the exit. It took a larger event to get away with this kind of prank, something more difficult with today's smaller, more intimate celebrations.

In the Gospel, the king wanted a full banquet hall. But one man was unprepared, not appropriately attired. Even as college kids pulling a prank, we knew that we had no chance of getting a good dinner (or even a free beer) if we weren't at least half way decently dressed. Jeans and a T-shirt were not going to cut it for a wedding reception in those days. So on went the dress shirt and tie along with some nice pants to make a presentable outfit.

Of course, access to the kingdom of God is not a prank, and just putting on some nice clothes will not ensure entrance to heaven. What we have to do is put on Christ, and have an interior disposition that conforms to our outward expressions of love and charity. Our inner faith must be strong, and our actions toward others must express what we believe. The "wedding garment" that we put on is not a shirt and tie in hopes of a free meal, but a life of prayer, devotion, and care for others that will lead to the banquet of life. ©2011 Liturgical Publications Inc

The Commemoration of all the Faithful Departed (All Souls) is coming up. We will hold nine Masses for All Souls. If you wish to remember, at all the Masses a deceased loved one, there are envelopes available by the door. Please take one, fill in a name of a person to be remembered and return the envelope before All Souls.
