Holy Gospel: Matthew 22: 1-14
Holy Gospel:
1 Jesus went on speaking to them in parables:
2 “This story throws light on the kingdom of heaven. A king celebrated the wedding of his son. 3 He sent his servants to call the invited guests to the wedding feast, but the guests refused to come.
4 Again he sent other servants ordering them to say to the invited guests: ‘I have prepared a banquet, slaughtered my fattened calves and other animals, and now everything is ready; come then, to the wedding feast.’ 5 But they paid no attention and went away, some to their fields, and others to their work. 6 While the rest seized the servants of the king, insulted them and killed them.
7 The king became angry. He sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city. 8 Then he said to his servants: ‘The wedding banquet is prepared, but the invited guests were not worthy. 9 Go, then, to the crossroads and invite everyone you find to the wedding feast.’
10 The servants went out at once into the streets and gathered everyone they found, good and bad alike, so that the hall was filled with guests.
11 The king came in to see those who were at table, and he noticed a man not wearing the festal garment. 12 So he said to him: ‘Friend, how did you get in without the wedding garment?’ But the man remained silent. 13 So the king said to his servants: ‘Bind his hands and feet and throw him into the dark where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 Know that many are called, but few are chosen.”
Second Reading:
12 I know what it is to be in want and what it is to have plenty. I am trained for both: to be hungry or satisfied, to have much or little. 13 I can do all things in him who strengthens me.
14 However you did right in sharing my trials. 19 God himself will provide you with everything you need, according to his riches, and show you his generosity in Christ Jesus. 20 Glory to God, our Father, for ever and ever: Amen.
First Reading:
6 On this mountain Yahweh Sabaoth will prepare for all peoples a feast of rich food and choice wines, meat full of marrow, fine wine strained.
7 On this mountain he will destroy the pall cast over all peoples, this very shroud spread over all nations, 8 and death will be no more. The Lord Yahweh will wipe away the tears from all cheeks and eyes; he will take away the humiliation of his people all over the world:
for Yahweh has spoken.
9 On that day you will say: This is our God. We have waited for him to save us, let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 10 For on this mountain the hand of Yahweh rests.
Responsorial Psalm:
1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside the still waters,
3 he restores my soul.
He guides me through the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Although I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil,
for you are beside me:
your rod and your staff comfort me.
5 You spread a table before me
in the presence of my foes.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup is overflowing.
6 Goodness and kindness will follow me
all the days of my life,
I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
as long as I live.
