ST. PAUL ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH MANY CULTURES, MANY COUNTRIES, MANY LANGUAGES IN ONE BODY: ST. PAUL’S FAMILY

TODAY’S GOSPEL Jesus again in reply spoke to the chief priests and elders of the people in parables, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come. A second time he sent other servants, saying, 'Tell those invited: "Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast." 'Some ignored the invitation and went away, one to his farm, another to his business. The rest laid hold of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them. The king was enraged and sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

EL EVANGELIO DE HOY Jesús habló en parábolas a los sumos sacerdotes y a los ancianos del pueblo, diciendo: El Reino de los Cielos se parece a un rey que celebraba las bodas de su hijo. Envió entonces a sus servidores para avisar a los invitados, pero estos se negaron a ir. De nuevo envió a otros servidores con el encargo de decir a los invitados: 'Mi banquete está preparado; ya han sido matados mis terneros y mis mejores animales, y todo está a punto: Vengan a las bodas'. Pero ellos no tuvieron en cuenta la invitación, y se fueron, uno a su campo, otro a su negocio; y los demás se apoderaron de los servidores, los maltrataron y los mataron. Al enterarse, el rey se indignó y envió a sus tropas para que acabaran con aquellos homicidas e incendiaran su ciudad.

GOSPEL REFLECTION

Throughout Jewish history it was traditional for Jews to demonstrate repentance through washing ceremonies. John the Baptist was preaching repentance for the coming of God's reign. His baptism may have been related to the purifying washings of the Essenes at Qumran near the

was God's anointed one. John answered that his baptism was only a preparation for "one mightier" who would aptize with "the Holy Spirit and fire" (v 16). Although Jesus had no need of repentance, he entered the murky

waters where the people had been baptized, thereby uniting himself with sinful humanity. The baptism of Jesus was another "epiphany," or manifestation of the divine presence. While Jesus was praying, the Spirit descended upon him, and God's voice was heard confirming Jesus as the "beloved Son" (v.22). On Calvary, Jesus would undergo a baptism of fire that would bring salvation to the whole world (Lk 12:49-50). This transforming fire would be poured out on the Church at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4).

PARISH MINISTRY “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” 1 Peter 4:10

Jesus' parable contains two stories. The first has to do with the original guests invited to the feast. The king had sent out invitations well in advance to his subjects, so they would have plenty of time to prepare for coming to the feast. How insulting for the invited guests to then refuse when the time for celebrating came! They made light of the King's request because they put their own interests above his. They not only insulted the King but the heir to the throne as well. The king's anger is justified because they openly refused to give the king the honor he was due. Jesus directed this warning to the Jews of his day, both to convey how much God wanted them to share in the joy of his kingdom,

Jews of his day, both to convey how much God wanted them to share in the joy of his kingdom, but also to give a warning about the consequences of refusing his Son, their Messiah and Savior.

The second part of the story focuses on those who had no claim on the king and who would never have considered getting such an invitation. The "good and the bad" along the highways certainly referred to the Gentiles and to sinners. This is certainly an invitation of grace -- undeserved, unmerited favor and kindness! But this invitation also contains a warning for those who refuse it or who approach the wedding feast unworthily. Grace is a free gift, but it is also an awesome responsibility. Dieterich Bonhoeffer contrasts "cheap grace" and "costly grace". "Cheap grace is the grace we bestow on ourselves ..the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance ..grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate. ..Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock. Such grace is costly because it calls us to follow Jesus Christ. It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life." God invites each of us to his banquet that we may share in his joy. For Reflection: Are you ready to feast at the Lord's banquet table?

with him”—Psalm 34:22

Let us not forget to pray for our dearly departed.

Our Parish of St. Paul will have a second collection at all the Masses during the weekend of October 28th and October 29th. The devastation caused in Puerto Rico by Hurricane María is staggering. It will take months and even years for people to recover from the storm. The funds raised will help those victims. Let us be generous with those in need.

Nuestra parroquia de San Pablo tendrá una segunda colecta en todas las Misas durante el fin de semana del 28 de Octubre y el 29 de Octubre. La devastación causada en Puerto Rico por el huracán María es asombrosa. Tomará mucho tiempo la recuperación y la reconstrucción de esta isla, nuestra colecta ayudará a las víctimas a ser menos dolorosa la recuperación. Seamos generosos con aquellos necesitados. Hoy por ellos mañana será por nosotros.
