Being There


In today’s Gospel, (Mt 22:1-14) the Kingdom of Heaven is likened to a
King who gave a wedding feast for his son.  As the parable says, many
are invited to the feast but most are too busy to attend.  Heaven being
like a feast brings images of good food and good fellowship with friends.
I Ask, am I too busy to attend the feast?   If so, is Heaven passing me by?
Prayer, faith, gratitude and hope are some of the treasures we are graced
with in our faith life.  These can be ways of saying yes to the King’s invitation. 
Heaven is eternal.   And so, are we too without time for the King’s feast?
Let's be there. +
