Readings
First: Isaiah 26:6-10 - On this mountain, the Lord will prepare a banquet ... remove the mourning veil ... destroy death forever. ... It will be said "We exult and rejoice that he had saved us..."
Psalm 22 - In the Lord's own house I will dwell for ever and ever / The Lord is my shepherd there is nothing I shall want / He guides me along the right path / You have prepared a banquet for me / Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me.
Second: Philippians 4:12-14, 19-20 - Paul reflects on his life and notes that there is nothing he cannot master with the help of the One who gives him strength: He acknowledges the companionship he received, and prays that God will fulfill the Philippians' needs.
Gospel: Matthew 22: 1-14 - The parable of the wedding banquet: the invited guests would not attend - the servants gathered guests from the highways ... many are called, few are chosen.
Themes
God fulfills our needs through Christ. All are invited, no matter how unworthy - God is forgiving. Gathering in God's house.
