28TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
FIRST READING
(Isaiah 25:6-10)
A reading from the prophet Isaiah
On this mountain, the Lord of hosts will prepare for
all peoples a banquet of rich food, a banquet of fine
wines, of food rich and juicy, of fine strained wines.
On this mountain he will remove the mourning veil
covering all peoples, and the shroud enwrapping all
nations, he will destroy Death for ever. The Lord
will wipe away the tears from every cheek; he will
take away his people’s shame everywhere on
earth, for the Lord has said so. That day, it will be
said: See, this is our God in whom we hoped for
salvation; the Lord is the one in whom we hoped.
We exult and we rejoice that he has saved us; for
the hand of the Lord rests on this mountain.
The word of the Lord.
Response: Thanks be to God.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM
Response:
Psalm 22
In the Lord's own house shall I
dwell for ever and ever.
1 The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want.
Fresh and green are the pastures
where he gives me repose.
Near restful waters he leads me,
to revive my drooping spirit. R/
2 He guides me along the right path;
he is true to his name.
If I should walk in the valley of darkness
no evil would I fear.
You are there with your crook and your staff;
with these you give me comfort. R/
3 You have prepared a banquet for me
in the sight of my foes.
My head you have anointed with oil;
my cup is overflowing. R/
4 Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me
all the days of my life.
In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell
for ever and ever. R/
SECOND READING
(Philippians 4:12-14)
A reading from the letter of St Paul to the
Philippians
I know how to be poor and I know how to be rich
too. I have been through my initiation and now I
am ready for anything anywhere: full stomach or
empty stomach, poverty or plenty. There is nothing
I cannot master with the help of the One who gives
me strength. All the same, it was good of you to
share with me in my hardships. In return my God
will fulfil all your needs, in Christ Jesus, as lavishly
as only God can. Glory to God, our Father, for
ever and ever. Amen.

THE GOSPEL
14)
12TH OCTOBER 2014
(Matthew 22:1-
The Lord be with you.
Response: And with your spirit.
A reading from the holy Gospel according to
Matthew
Response: Glory to you, O Lord.
Jesus said to the chief priests and elders of the
people:
“The kingdom of heaven may be
compared to a king who gave a feast for his son’s
wedding. He sent his servants to call those who
had been invited, but they would not come. Next
he sent some more servants. ‘Tell those who have
been invited,’ he said, ‘that I have my banquet all
prepared, my oxen and fattened cattle have been
slaughtered, everything is ready. Come to the
wedding.’ But they were not interested: one went
off to his farm, another to his business, and the rest
seized his servants, maltreated them and killed
them. The king was furious. He despatched his
troops, destroyed those murderers and burnt their
town. Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding
is ready; but as those who were invited proved to
be unworthy, go to the crossroads in the town and
invite everyone you can find to the wedding.’ So
these servants went out on the roads and collected
together everyone they could find, bad and good
alike; and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
“When the king came in to look at the guests he
noticed one man who was not wearing a wedding
garment, and said to him, ‘How did you get in here,
my friend, without a wedding garment?’ And the
man was silent.
Then the king said to the
attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and throw him
out into the dark, where, there will be weeping and
grinding of teeth.’ For many are called, but few are
chosen.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
Response: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ
