Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)
Gospel text
Mt 22:1-14
Mt 22:1-14
"The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come. A second time he sent other servants, saying, 'Tell those invited: "Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast."'
Gospel's Commentary
Today Jesus presents to us the “beggar-God.” Yes, God begging for our love so that He can take us with Him. He begged so much… and in the end He wound up on the Cross like a beggar. And on the Cross, Jesus asks the Father to forgive those men who were so difficult to “win over.”
—Since the day of the Cross, Heaven has been “on sale.” Look at Dismas, the “good thief”: he knew how to take advantage of the “sale”!
