Come to the feast

“‘Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast.’ Some ignored the invitation and went away, one to his farm, another to his business.” (MT 22: 4-5)

Our Lord “prepared his banquet” and invites us: “come to the feast.” He gives us His body and blood that we may have His life in us. With Him we can change our lives for the better and put everything important in the right place. Even “farm and business,” when committed to Him, become not an obstacle but an opportunity.

“If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.” (Gospel Acclamation)
