2014
FIRST READING 12 October
Isaiah
43:18-19.21-22.24First Reading:
Isaiah 25:6-10
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.
Response to Psalm: In the Lord’s own house shall I
dwell for ever and ever.
Second Reading:
Philippians 4:12-14. 19-20
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.
Alleluia, alleluia!
The Word was made flesh and lived among us;
to all who did accept him
he gave power to become children of God. Alleluia!
Gospel:
Matthew 22:1-14
Jesus said to the chief priests and the 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 dispatched 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 to 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.’
