REFLECTIONS ON “ COME TO THE FEAST”
“On this mountain, the Lord of hosts / will
provide for all peoples / a feast of rich food and
choice wines” (Isaiah 25:6). That’s what Isaiah tells
us today. God is putting together a huge party for “all
peoples,” to “wipe away / the tears from every
face” (Isaiah 25:8).
And what does Jesus tell us? The reign of God,
he says, “may be likened to a king who gave a
wedding feast for his son” (Matthew 22:2). When the
guests didn’t come, the king had his servants go out
“into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever
you find” (Matthew 22:9). We are called to deliver
that invitation.
One of the themes woven into today’s liturgy is
that of divine generosity. Asleep to reality, people
often think they have “earned” what they have. In our
better moments, though, we know that all our gifts—
even the spiritual gifts—come through God’s
generosity. Our vocation is to invite people, to
remind them the tickets aren’t for sale. We can only
show up and say thank you. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Family Planning can improve marriages
Natural Family Planning (NFP) has been shown to
improve marriages - published studies have shown
increased marital satisfaction. It also greatly
improves marital communications. NFP is free after
the initial training, and empowers couples by giving
them highly accurate information about their own
fertility, rather than relying on a third party. Finally, NFP couples typically have extremely
low divorce rates; one study of 1100 couples in CA
showed a divorce rate of less than 2% over 24 years.
Contact Ed Hopfner if you have interested couples -
