THE GOSPEL
Matthew 22:1-14The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king
who gave a wedding feast for his son.
O Christ, your father prepared a banquet for us.
He set a table, killed the fattened calf.
He gave us the very finest wine.
And he invited us to come,
each and every one,
every single
one, to
this
table
of plenty.
Oh Jesus,
what shall we wear?
Would you be our garment?
Let us put on your mind and your heart.
Then we can relish the morsels, savor the wine;
and taste your love, which is the most beloved of all foods.
THE FIRST READING
Isaiah 25:6-10
The Lord God will wipe away the tears from every face.
We are
running fast
to your mountain, Lord.
Wipe away
tears from our eyes.
Take away the fog of virus,
of body and soul; and the web of
destructive chaos that hides you from us.
Oh Lord, you have called us all here.
Let us take care of each other, and
the home you have given us, so
together we can enjoy your
feast of rich food and
choice wines.
