REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD
Sunday Gospel: Matthew 22: 1-10
As Catholics we are invited to “come to the feast” at
significant moments in our lives. Baptisms, First
Communions, marriages, ordinations, and funeral rites are all
commonly celebrated within the feast of the Eucharist. The
clothes we wear—from the baptismal garment to the funeral
pall, from fancy wedding garb to simple white albs—reflect
our baptismal commitment to be faithful to Christ until we
come to the eternal heavenly feast that our Eucharistic
celebrations anticipate. All are invited to come to the feast.
All are invited to dress in the garment of Christ.
Not all respond to the invitation.
It has often been asked what would happen if, some Sunday
morning, praying as we always do for Christ to come again,
Christ actually did return. Would we come to his feast? Would
we prefer our small private gathering to the huge mass of
people we don’t really want to know? Would we be found
wearing the garment of faithfulness we were given in
baptism? Where would we be “on that day”?
Living God’s Words
Over the past few weeks the scriptures have provided
us with a feast of images of God’s abundant mercy.
Today’s image of the heavenly banquet both
completes the picture of God’s generosity and shifts
our attention to our response to God’s generous
invitation.

RIFLESSIONI SULLA PAROLA DI DIO
Vangelo della Domenica: Matteo 22: 1-10
In questo mondo globalizzato, ogni cosa che succede nel
mondo viene fruita in modo globale. Le persone oggi sanno di
più. Ma cosa sanno? C’è una disperata mancanza di certezze
quasi mai consapevole, che lascia un senso di angoscia nel
fondo del cuore delle persone di oggi. Dio ci ha dato la Parola
che è la via della pace, la via della sapienza. La Roccia su cui
costruire la nostra “casa”. Per conoscere questa “via” è
fondamentale l’annuncio della Parola di Dio, conoscere il
messaggio di salvezza che viene dalla Sapienza del Padre, un
messaggio destinato ad ogni persona di ogni epoca.
Per ottenere l'attenzione, oltre ad avere una buona dose di
Spirito Santo, bisogna essere testimoni e parlare da testimoni.
La gente prima di ascoltare il contenuto di quello che si dice,
ascolta la musica delle parole. E se la musica è noiosa, o,
peggio, esigente, moralista, non ascolta. Molto spesso quando
si è nell’occasione di ascoltare tanti predicatori odierni, si
stacca l’audio e si pensa ai fatti propri.
Per essere ascoltati bisogna prima ascoltare quello spiffero di
angoscia dentro di noi, saper parlare ai poveri da poveri e non
da teoreti. E, magari, parlare da innamorati. Non perché lo si
sappia fare. Perché lo si è.”
Farsi poveri con i poveri come S.Paolo “Mi sono fatto debole
con i deboli, per guadagnare i deboli; mi sono fatto tutto a
tutti, per salvare ad ogni costo qualcuno. Tutto io faccio per il
vangelo, per diventarne partecipe con loro”. (1 Corinzi 9,2223)
Vivere la parola Di Dio
L'ostinazione, il rifiuto della conversione è il non
voler cambiare vestito, non voler perdere la propria
vita, è l'affermazione del proprio «io».
Il peccato contro lo Spirito Santo, l'unico
imperdonabile, è il rifiuto lucido del perdono, della
misericordia, dell'amore.

REFLEXIONEMOS LA PALABRA DE DIOS
Evangelio del Domingo: Mateo 22: 1-10
Como católicos estamos invitados a “venir a la fiesta” en
momentos significantes de nuestra vida. Los bautismos, las
primeras comuniones, los matrimonios, las ordenaciones y las
exequias normalmente se celebran dentro de la celebración de
la Eucaristía. La ropa que nos ponemos —desde la vestidura
bautismal hasta el sudario, desde el sofisticado atuendo de
bodas hasta las sencillas albas blancas— refleja nuestro
compromiso bautismal de ser fieles a Cristo hasta que
lleguemos al banquete celestial que nuestras celebraciones
eucarísticas anticipan. Todos están invitados al banquete.
Todos están invitados a revestirse de Cristo. No todos
responden a la invitación.
A menudo se ha hecho la pregunta de lo qué pasaría si una
mañana de domingo, mientras oramos como siempre lo
hacemos para que Cristo vuelva de nuevo, él se presentara ante
nosotros. ¿Iríamos a su fiesta? ¿O acaso preferiríamos nuestra
pequeña reunión privada en vez de la enorme multitud de
personas que en realidad no queremos conocer? ¿Nos
encontraría con la vestidura de la fidelidad que se nos dio en el
Bautismo? ¿Dónde estaríamos en “ese día”?
Vivamos la Palabra de Dios
En el curso de las semanas anteriores las Escrituras nos
han brindado un festín de imágenes de la abundante
misericordia de Dios. La imagen del banquete celestial
de hoy completa la descripción de la generosidad de
Dios y vuelve nuestra atención hacia nuestra respuesta
a la generosa invitación de Dios.
