October 12th, 2014 28th Sunday of Ordinary Time Matt 22:1-10
Jesus used this story to teach the people: “The kingdom of heaven is like what happened when a king gave a wedding banquet for his son. The king sent some servants to tell the invited guests to come to the banquet, but the guests refused. He sent other servants to say to the guests, ‘The banquet is ready! My cattle and prize calves have all been prepared. Everything is ready. Come to the banquet!’ “But the guests did not pay any attention. Some of them left for their farms, and some went to their places of business. Others grabbed the servants, beat them up, and killed them. “This made the king so furious that he sent an army to kill those murderers and burn down their city. Then he said to the servants, ‘It is time for the wedding banquet, and the invited guests don’t deserve to come. Go out to the street corners and tell everyone you meet to come to the banquet.’ They went out on the streets and brought in everyone they could find, good and bad alike. And the banquet room was filled with guests.”
