Parish of The Precious Blood
Immediately after criticizing the religious leaders through the
parable of the tenants in last Sunday's Gospel, Jesus proceeded to tell another parable, again directed at the religious
leaders. We hear this parable in today's Gospel.

In the parable of the wedding feast, Jesus offers an image of the
Caribou Office
498-2536 or 498-2537
kingdom of heaven using the symbol of a wedding banquet. In today's first reading from the prophet Isaiah and in today's psalm, the 8 - 3:30 Monday - Thursday ~ Closed on Fridays
Closed 12 –1pm for lunch
Lord's goodness is evident in the symbol of a feast of good food and
wine. Jesus' listeners would have been familiar with the image of a
Presque Isle Office
768-3671
wedding feast as a symbol for God's salvation. They would consider
8 - 3 Monday - Thursday ~ Closed on Fridays
themselves to be the invited guests. Keeping this in mind helps us to
Parish Ministry Personnel
understand the critique Jesus makes with this parable. The context
for this parable is the growing tension between Jesus and the Jewish
V. Rev. Jean-Paul Labrie, Pastor
religious leaders in Jerusalem. This has been the case for the past
Rev. Raymond Morency, Parochial Vicar
two Sundays and will continue to be true for the next several weeks.
Rev. Kyle Doustou, Parochial Vicar
The parable Jesus tells is straightforward. The king dispatches
his servants to invite the guests to the wedding feast that he is
planning for his son. The listeners would have been surprised
to learn that the first guests refused the invitation. Who would
refuse the king's invitation? A second dispatch of servants follows.
Again to the listeners' great surprise, some guests ignore the
invitation. Some of the invited guests even go so far as to mistreat
and kill the servants. The king invokes his retribution against
these murderers by destroying them and burning their city.
We might stop here for a moment. Why would some guests kill the
servants sent to invite them to the king's wedding feast? It might be
possible that the king was a tyrant, evidenced by the destruction of
the city of those who refused his invitation. But if we follow this idea,
then the allegory seems to be about something other than the kingdom of heaven. It is more likely that the destruction of the city would
have been a powerful image corresponding to the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in A.D. 70, which would have been an important event for Matthew's audience.
With the invited guests now deemed unworthy to attend the
king's wedding feast, the servants are sent to invite whomever
they can find. The guests arrive, but it appears that accepting
the king's invitation brings certain obligations. The guest who
failed to dress in the appropriate wedding attire is cast out of
the feast. We are reminded that while many are invited to the
kingdom of heaven, not all are able to meet its requirements.
God invites us to his feast, giving us his salvation. Yet he asks
us to repent for our sins.
Jesus' message in the parable cautions against exclusive beliefs
about the kingdom of heaven. The parable also teaches about humility. Those who assume that they are the invited guests may find that
they have refused the invitation, and so others are invited in their
place. To accept the invitation is also to accept its obligations. God
wants our full conversion in complete acceptance of his mercy.

Catholic Mom’s Connect
This is a question that many Catholic men have secretly
asked with fear and trembling. But discernment is not
meant to be a solitary or anxiety-ridden experience!
Instead, discernment can & should be a hopeful journey
with our Lord assisted by spiritual guides in the company
of friends. This year, there are a number of retreats
and gatherings to help young men find both spiritual
guidance and the company of friends as you discern the
Lord’s call, whatever that might be. Please join us!
Are you a mother who wants to deepen your Catholic
faith & incorporate it into your family life, but unsure as
to where to start? Do you want to become involved in
a fellowship of like-minded women, which encourages
spiritual growth, as well as including opportunities to
reach out into our families & our communities? Parish
of the Precious Blood would like to invite all mothers to
our new Catholic Mom’s Connect group. Meetings are
offered 1st Sat. and 3rd Thurs. of each month.
The 1st meeting is Oct. 16th, 2014 from 6:00pm-7:30pm.
Each Saturday morning meeting will offer free child
