Psalm: In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell for ever and ever
Second
Reading Philippians 4:12-14,19-20
With the help of the One who gives me
strength, there is nothing I cannot master
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.
Gospel Matthew 22:1-14 Invite everyone you
can to the wedding
CDR: Jesus
began to speak to the chief priests and elders of the people in parables: ‘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 despatched 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.’
