Lectio: Mt 22.1-14
“The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.” Mt 22.2
“O God, what an ending You have prepared for all of us if we simply do Your will here on earth.
I remember Jesus likened heaven to a wedding feast that a king gives for his son - what a joyful analogy that nevertheless pales in comparison with what Your kingdom is really like.
Grant that I may be always strive to do Your will and in doing so accept Your invitation to Your kingdom.
I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.
Operatio: Reflect on “God’s kingdom” - a King’s wedding feast; a wonderful vineyard, a place of joy and happiness, a great place we cannot conceive according to St. Paul; a place that is pure gift from our God to us; Pray for the grace to do God’s will and accept God’s gift to us.
Tomorrow’s readings: Lk 11.29-32
