This Sunday, Jesus tells the story of a king who prepares a wedding reception for his son. People ignore the invitation and kill the messengers who were sent to remind them. The furious monarch destroys their city and invites strangers to his feast. Then the king confronts a guest he believes is inappropriately dressed. Honestly, this parable has several twists. But the story’s thrust is not the volatile king; it’s the invitation to the banquet Isaiah describes in our first reading. There, we meet the Lord who invites, gathers, and feeds.
See you Sunday, in church and online, when the Lord will set a table to reach us with healing and joy.
