Wisdom From Our Pastor In order to understand this parable properly, we must understand who each of the characters represent. God is the king who is calling the wedding feast. Jesus is the son, the bridegroom, for whom the wedding feast is being called. The feast itself represents eternal life and salvation, as it does also in the first reading. The first servants who send out invitations represent the prophets of the Old Testament and the wedding guests who rejected the invitation and even killed the servants represent the Israelites, for they often rejected God?s messengers. As a result, when Jesus came, he called new servants, who represent the Apostles, to invite new guests. They invited anyone and everyone, Gentiles included, to the feast. Thus, Israel?s rejection of God?s invitation opened the door for all the nations to be invited into the feast. That is why the Church Christ founded is called Catholic, which means universal, because all are invited to be a part of it. Yet, still some will reject the invitation and others will come but will not be prepared (as in the one not wearing a wedding garment), for they will not live in a manner worthy of the invitation they have received. We are all invited to the wedding feast. God offers salvation to all people, but that does not mean all people will be saved, because many will reject the invitation. Also, even those of us who receive the invitation must live in a way worthy of the feast. Reflect on how you can clothe yourself more fully in righteousness and live in a way worthy of heaven. Father Victor Ray
The Daily Prayer of Saint Teresa Dear Jesus, help me to spread your fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with your spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of You. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others. Amen. All of us at Saint Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Community want to take a moment to extend a Very Warm Welcome to everyone who is visiting us for the first time this morning. Whether you are just having a look, or are searching for a place to worship, we are delighted to have you here. Enjoy the rest of your worship time with us, and
May God Bless You! Cream Cards available in the Pew Pocket to follow along with the Mass.

Reflections of the Week: In today’s parable Jesus liken the kingdom of God to a wedding feast. In what ways do you think this might be an apt description of heaven?

An Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen
