THURSDAY 20TH WEEK IN
ORDINARY TIME YEAR B.
1ST READING: EZEKIEL
36:23-28
GOSPEL: MATTHEW 22:1-14
THEME: THINGS
ARE READY WHERE WE ARE INVITED, WHERE ARE WE?
God in the
first reading tells us that he will make us his people and he will be our God.
He will prepare a home for us where hearts of flesh will be not hearts of
stone. Hearts that know mercy and compassion.
In the gospel,
he has already prepared it for us but we are not forth coming. What is that
that is taking us out of God’s banquet? School, family, work, business,
friends, relations and every other things or persons or places? Any of them
that is doing that should leave us alone before he burns us up. A question
needs to be asked about the man without wedding garment. Was it his fault, for
he was just called at the late hour? He was on his own not preparing for any
wedding and they called him and they did not give him time to go and prepare.
The truth here is that, this is how our death will be to us. When we are not
ready to die. We can see what happened to the man that was not ready. We have
to be ready at any time, any day, anywhere for we do not the year, month, week,
day, hour, minute and second that banquet we will enjoy will come. No excuse.
Thanks.
