THE WEDDING FEAST AND THE WEDDING GARMENT
.SOME GUY; I DON’T WWNT TO
GO TO THAT AWFUL WEDDING
AND I DON’T WANT TO WEAR
THAT WEDDING SUIT
JESUS: YOU ARE MISSING THE
POINT. THE WEDDING IS HEAVEN
AND WEARINGTHE GARMENT IS
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET
THERE
© JCM, 2014
THE WEDDING FEAST AND THE WEDDING GARMENT
The Gospel story is the parable of the Wedding Feast and the
Wedding Garment. Now the first temptation is to interpret the
parable as if one were saying, “Who wants to go to that silly old
party?” Yeah. But that party is eternal life.
You see. We should always see the real spiritual lessons behind
these bible stories, no matter how interesting those stories may
be. Yeah. “Who wants to go to that silly old wedding?” and “Why
should I put on my best clothes?”
Oops Now I see what he is getting at. He is inviting us to follow
his gospel. He is telling us that the people he first invited are not
worthy. Well if we want to be worthy we have to make a change in
our lives. That’s the point of the turning down the invitation and
the wedding garment. Even though we are invited to take the
place of the people who turned down the first invitation, we have
to be worthy ourselves.
And now we apply it to 2014. Yes. We are invited to receive the
sacraments. But there are certain requirements that we have to
follow.

Saint Callistus I
Feast day October 14
Callistus was born in the late second century as a slave to a
Christian master. His master noticed that Callistus had skill in
finance and put him in charge of a bank. Some enemies of
Callistus falsely accused him of embezzlement. Terrified,
Callistus tried to escape from Rome. He was caught and
condemned to the mines of Sardinia. After partially serving his
sentence, he was released so that he might recover some of the
money. He was arrested for fighting and sent back to the mines.
Fortunately for him and other Christians, Marcia, the emperor’s
mistress, won their release.
Pope Zephyrinus made Callistus manager of the burial
grounds. Even today the land is named the cemetery of Saint
Callistus. Callistus proved himself responsible and was ordained
a deacon. In 217, Callistus was elected as the next pontiff. This
shocked Hippolytus and his followers. In rebellion, this group
elected Hippolytus as pope, later known as the first antipope.This
made two men who claimed to be pope.
A schism, or split, in the Church went on for 18 years. Pope
Callistus I gently tried to encourage Hippolytus to understand his
error. At the same time, Callistus tried to make wise rules for the
Church. He felt there should be mercy for those who had fallen
away during persecution but who later repented. Callistus said
the Church has the authority to forgive all sins. This angered
Hippolytus, who felt that Callistus was lenient. Hippolytus wrote
bitterly about the pope, who bore the insults calmly and humbly.
Callistus I remained steady in his desire to bring peace to the
Church. He was martyred in a riot.
