They refused to come

“The Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come.” (MT 22: 2-3)

We believe that we are different, that we will never refuse that kind of invitation. And probably this is true with many of us. But still, there are moments when we are not answering to His very delicate invitations, to spend some time with Him, to make a small break to be grateful or to write our gratitude for all His graces and blessings we receive daily. The more we are connected with Him, the more we “hear his voice,” the more we are present, and the more we are mindful.

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