What do you want?
What people want is at the heart of todays parable. A king invites people to his sons wedding banquet, but their minds are on other things; they dont see the value of the invitation. They dont want it. Jesus story tells us that rather than being an imposition, our faith is an invitation, a gift.
Its been said that the biggest problem with consumerism is not that it makes us want too much, but that it makes us want too little; it diverts and distracts us with lesser things. The world we live in is, now more than ever, full of appeals to our most precious possession: our attention. We are, so to speak, in constant receipt of many invitations. There is so much that conspires to steal our attention from what is deepest and most important.
When the king of Jesus parable issued the invitation to his sons
wedding banquet, peoples attention was elsewhere, they wanted other things. And some of them, evidently, were angry at what they perceived to be an imposition on their time and on their priorities.
We would do well to let this parable of Jesus pose two simple questions to us. First, do we habitually think of our faith the practice and the living out of our faith as an imposition or as an invitation? Second, what do we want for ourselves and for our loved ones? Chris Hayden
Prayer for Guidance
Holy Spirit, give me wisdom and the courage of my convictions as I make life decisions today and every day.
Some may be simple, others complex, but all require honesty and quiet reflection. I pray that, with your help and guidance, my heart will be open to Gods will in whatever choices I am asked to make. Amen
Altar Servers
We welcome to our Masses this weekend our new Altar Servers. We thank them for their reverence on the altar and congratulate for giving up their time to be a special part of the Mass.
Comhghairdeas!
