“If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand? But with you is found forgiveness,
O God of Israel.”
Psalm 130:3-4
Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
The gospel of today lets us know that the kingdom of heaven may be likened to a wedding feast. The
invitation to the feast makes us enter into the dynamic of the New Covenant in Jesus. Accepting the
invitation means we say “Yes.” “Yes” to the personal love of God for us. It also means we` say “Yes”
to the Gospel. That way we open the door to the Lord who invites himself to enter in us, to give a
new meaning and a new horizon to our life. Many people are not aware they are invited, or maybe
they think they are not part of the adventure. What can we do to convince them? All of us are invited
to enter in the life Jesus proposes, to make alliance with him, and welcome the love of God. Pope
Francis reminds us that the gospel is transmitted by attraction, and not by proselytism. Does our life,
personal and inside the community, give the reflection of the unlimited love of God for us.
Vigesimo Octavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
El Evangelio de hoy nos hace saber que el reino del cielo puede ser comparado a un banquete de bodas. La invitación al banquete nos enseña la dinámica del Nuevo Testamento. Cuando aceptamos la
invitación le decimos “Si” al amor de Dios. También quiere decir que le decimos “Si” al Evangelio.
De esta manera le abrimos la puerta al Señor para que sea parte de nosotros, para darnos una nueva
vida. Muchas personas no saben que son invitados. Que podemos hacer para convérselos? Todos
somos invitados a la vida que Jesús propone, tener una alianza con el y amar a Dios. El Papa Francisco nos recuerda que el evangelio es transmitido por atracción, y no por proselitismo. Es nuestra vida
personal dentro de la comunidad una reflexión del amor sin limite de Dios para nosotros?
Vingt-huitième dimanche du temps ordinaire
L’évangile d’aujourd’hui nous apprend que le royaume des cieux est comparable à une noce. L’invitation à la noce consiste à entrer dans la dynamique de la Nouvelle Alliance en Jésus. Accepter l’invitation, c’est dire oui à l’amour personnel de Dieu pour nous. C’est dire oui à tout l’évangile. C’est
ouvrir la porte au Seigneur qui s’invite à son tour, qui veut habiter notre existence pour y donner du
sens et des horizons nouveaux à notre vie. Plusieurs d’entre nous ne se savent pas invités. Peut-être se
croient-ils exclus de l’aventure. Que ferons-nous pour les émouvoir? Tous, nous sommes invités à
entrer dans la vie que Jésus propose, à faire alliance avec lui, à accueillir l’amour de Dieu. Le pape
François nous rappelle que l’évangile se transmet par attraction, et non par prosélytisme. Nos vies
personnelles et communautaires sont-elles le reflet de l’amour sans limites de Dieu pour tous… au
point de devenir invitantes et attirantes?
Jesus again spoke to the elders in parable: “The kingdom of heaven may
be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast. He dispatched his servants
to summon the guests, but they refused. Again he sent others to say
‘Behold, I have prepared my banquet and everything is ready.’ Some ignored the invitation and went away. Others laid hold of the servants and
killed them. The king was enraged and sent his troops to destroy those
murderers. Then he said to his servants, ‘The feast is ready. Go out into
the roads and invite to the feast whomever you find.’ They went out into
the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike and the hall
was filled with guests.”
