My dear Community of Toukley and Lake Munmorah.
A reflection….
This is not a good Sunday for you if you are on a diet. The
first reading talks about the banquet of the Lord, where there
will be juicy, rich food. Heaven will be pastry without cholesterol Cannibals in New Guinea invited a priest to visit under a
truce. They had heard about Jesus. They wanted to see what
influence He had on his life. The priest was gloomy. He never
smiled. They decided to forget about Christ. They concluded
that once the truce was over, they would not eat the priest.
His tough hide would cause them heartburn.
Hilaire Belloc wrote: "Wherever the Catholic sun does shine,
there is always laughter and good red wine." Would Belloc
say that about us? We are told it takes seventeen face muscles
to smile but forty-three to frown. Laughter is the only tranquilizer yet developed that has no side effects. Our expression is the most important garment we wear. Yet, how many
of us know fellow-Christians who never smile?
Jesus reminds His Jewish audience that when the Messiah
comes, they will enjoy a first class sit down supper with Lenox China and Baccarat crystal. The menu is alluded to in
today's Isaiah 25: "juicy red food and pure choice wines."
Notice not wine but wines. White with the lobster and red
with the filet mignon. It will be the mother of all parties. This
is one six star banquet weight watchers should avoid. Jesus
compares living in His company to the equivalent of a party.
His Church should be a happy place. To sign on with Him
should be as great an occasion as going to a banquet filled
with warm laughter, prime ribs, aged wines, chocolate-dipped
strawberries, and brandy from Napoleon's cellar.
We should remind ourselves of this wedding parable.
With all good wishes.
Fr. Peter
