28th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to
the feast, but they refused to come." Why? What made the
king's invitation so distasteful to these guests? According to the
parable, either the guests were too busy with their farms and
their businesses, or else they were downright hostile to the
entire idea: they "laid hold of his servants, mistreated them,
and killed them." What could possibly explain this resistance?
Perhaps we have a clue in the puzzling conclusion of today's
Gospel. One of the second-string guests pulled in from the
streets came to the feast "not dressed in a wedding garment."
The man knew he was guilty, hence his silence. And the king's
punishment suggests that the fellow ought to have known
better. This "wedding garment" calls to mind the preparation of
our souls necessary to join in the great "wedding feast of the
Lamb" (Rv 19:9), that is, heaven. This man was apparently just
too lazy to get ready. He presumed that having received an
invitation to the banquet was enough, that nothing was
required of him. Not so. He should have demonstrated his
gratitude by dressing appropriately. And what of the first-string
guests? Some were too busy to bother coming; others were
furious that they had been invited at all. Now, where do we fit
in? Are we more concerned with worldly work than with
spiritual growth? Are we offended by the very suggestion that
we might need to "dress up" our souls? Or are we the
disinterested Christian, willing to feast but too lazy to foster his
faith? Jesus gave his life to open the gates of heaven for us.
Let's show our gratitude by preparing radiant, beautiful souls
worthy of the heavenly wedding feast.
