REFLECTION In Matthew 22:1-14, Jesus told a parable about a gracious King who threw a wedding feast for his son. A wedding feast was an exciting event that usually lasted several days. Delicious food was shared, memories were made, and celebration filled the air. To be invited to a wedding feast was an honor. To be invited to a royal wedding feast would be the honor of a lifetime. The King sent out the first invites to the feast, and for some reason, the first group of invited guests didn’t want to come. They seemed disinterested and preoccupied with life. They made excuses and they missed the opportunity to feast with the King and His son. Since the King wanted people to share his joy, he sent his servants to the city's edge to find anyone that would come. These people were grateful for the invite and accepted the King’s offer. It was a delight to attend the banquet. You too have been invited to the feast! Journal about how this makes you feel.
