COME TO THE FEAST
“On this mountain, the Lord of hosts / will provide for
all peoples / a feast of rich food and choice wines” (Isaiah
25:6). That’s what Isaiah tells us today. God is putting
together a huge party for “all peoples,” to “wipe away /
the tears from every face” (Isaiah 25:8).
And what does Jesus tell us? The reign of God, he
says, “may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast
for his son” (Matthew 22:2). When the guests didn’t
come, the king had his servants go out “into the main
roads and invite to the feast whomever you
find” (Matthew 22:9). We are called to deliver that
invitation.
One of the themes woven into today’s liturgy is that of
divine generosity. Asleep to reality, people often think
they have “earned” what they have. In our better
moments, though, we know that all our gifts—even the
spiritual gifts—come through God’s generosity. Our
vocation is to invite people, to remind them the tickets
aren’t for sale. We can only show up and say thank you.

BIBLE STUDY Fr. Pete will lead Bible study on Tuesday,
October 14th at 10 a.m. in the RCIA Room.
“And my God will supply every need of yours…” - Philippians 4:19
God really does provide for those that are grateful and
generous. This is very difficult for people that don’t live a
stewardship lifestyle to believe. People are skep cal and
say it’s just coincidence. If you are skep cal, try living a
stewardship lifestyle for just one month – be generous
with your gi s of me, talent and treasure and see how
God provides for your needs.
