Tips to keep our children safe: Please do not allow your children to leave
your sight while at church.
Do not allow them to go to the
restroom or out to the car alone. Children need to be supervised by a
parent or adult at all times while attending any church-related function.
Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
October 12, 2014
I can do all things in him who strengthens me.
— Philippians 4:13
OVERVIEW OF THE GOSPEL
As in the last several Sunday’s readings, Jesus’ condemnation of the Jewish leaders continues. It is the
Wednesday before Good Friday—even as he is condemning them, Jesus continues to offer them Divine
Mercy: a last chance for them to see themselves in his
parables, and to accept him and his message.
*Jesus switches from the image of the vineyard that we
have been hearing the last three weeks, to that of the
wedding feast. In the Old Testament, the wedding feast
was used as an image of the Messianic kingdom to
come (see Isaiah 25:6-10, our first reading).
In biblical society, this feast was of high social importance. To make light of an invitation was considered
the height of rudeness—even an occasion of violent
retribution. While the king’s invitation was urgent (verse
4); the response was very much not so (verses 5-6).
Thus, when the invited were not worthy (verse 8), then
the unworthy were invited (verses 9-10).
Jesus’ parable highlights God’s impartial treatment of
all who are called—Jews and Gentiles alike. He rewards and punishes on the basis of one’s acceptance
or rejection of his call (Romans 2:6-11)to his people.
What are they?
QUESTIONS of the Sundays Gospel
• Why is the banquet in Jesus' parable being held?
• What do you learn about those originally invited, what
is so surprising about their response?
• Who did the king eventually invite? Why?
• What is the problem with the one guest (verses 1112)? What does it mean to be in the king’s presence
“without a wedding garment”? What is its significance
(Revelation 21:27; 6:9-11; 7:9-10, 13-14)? Why is this ill
-clad guest banished?
• What does it mean to accept Jesus’ invitation? What
is he inviting you to?
• What kind of excuses have you given for not responding to Jesus’ invitation? What kind of change are you
afraid he wants of you?
• With whom do you identify with in this story and why?
Catechism of the Catholic Church: §§ 546, 796

Vigésimo Octavo Domingo
del Tiempo Ordinario
12 de octubre de 2014
Todo lo puedo unido a
aquél me da fuerza.
— Filipenses 4:13
VENGAN A LA FIESTA
“El Señor de los Ejércitos preparará para todos los
pueblos en este cerro, una comida con jugosos asados
y buenos vinos” (Isaías 25:6). Esto es lo que Isaías nos
dice hoy. Dios está organizando una inmensa fiesta
para “todos los pueblos”, para “enjugar las lágrimas de
todos los rostros”.
¿Y qué es lo que Jesús nos dice? “El reino de Dios”, él
dice, es como “lo que le sucedió a un rey que celebró
las bodas de su hijo” (Mateo 22:2). Cuando los invitados no acudieron, el rey mandó a sus sirvientes a que
fueran “a las esquinas de las calles y conviden a la boda a todos los que encuentren” (Mateo 22:9). Nosotros
somos llamados a distribuir esta invitación.
Uno de los temas entrelazado con la liturgia de hoy
es el referente a la generosidad divina. Ausente de la
realidad, la gente a menudo asume que ha “ganado” lo
que tiene. En nuestros mejores momentos, sin embargo, somos conscientes de que todos nuestros dones,
incluyendo los espirituales, provienen de la generosidad de Dios. Nuestra misión es invitar a la gente, recordarles que las entradas no están a la venta. Lo único
que podem os hacer es acudir y dar las gracias.© J. S. Paluch
Oración a la Sagrada Familia
departe del PAPA FRANCISCO
Jesús, María y José
en vosotros contemplamos
el esplendor del verdadero amor,
a vosotros, confiados, nos dirigimos.
Santa Familia de Nazaret,
haz también de nuestras familias
lugar de comunión y cenáculo de oración,
auténticas escuelas del Evangelio
y pequeñas Iglesias domésticas.
Santa Familia de Nazaret,
que nunca más haya en las familias episodios
de violencia, de cerrazón y división;
que quien haya sido herido o escandalizado
sea pronto consolado y curado.
Santa Familia de Nazaret,
que el próximo Sínodo de los Obispos
haga tomar conciencia a todos
del carácter sagrado e inviolable de la familia,
de su belleza en el proyecto de Dios.
Jesús, María y José,
escuchad, acoged nuestra súplica.
