    Mass Prep | God Wants to Marry You: Matthew 22:1-14

    In this week's Mass Prep, we reflect on Matthew 22:1–14, where Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven to a wedding feast. Why a wedding? Because God desires more than our obedience. He desires union with us. We'll explore the bridal mystery of Christianity, the danger of becoming too busy for God, the meaning of the wedding garment, and how the Eucharist offers us a foretaste of the heavenly wedding feast.

    In Matthew 21, the tenants reject servant after servant—and somehow, the owner keeps sending more. In this Mass Prep, we look at the strange persistence of God, the Bridegroom who keeps coming closer, and what it means that divine love ultimately takes on flesh.

    Mass Prep | Put Your Body Where Your Yes Is

    Jesus tells a story about two sons: one says yes and never moves, the other says no — then gets up and goes. In Matthew 21:28–32, we look at a faith that has to become physical: feet in the vineyard, hands in the dirt, sweat on the body. Because God doesn’t just want the yes on your lips. He wants your body where your yes is.
