THE PROCLAMATION OF THE WORD
1st Reading: Exodus 32:1-14, Pew Bible p. 94 (J. Blizzard)
Psalm 106 (Verses 1-6, 19-23) (J. Blizzard)
Leader Hallelujah! Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
For his mercy endures for ever.
All Who can declare the mighty acts of the Lord
Or show forth all his praise?
Leader Happy are those who act with justice
And always do what is right!
All Remember me, O Lord, with the favour you have for your
people and visit me with your saving help;
Leader That I may see the prosperity of your elect and be glad with the
Gladness of your people, that I may glory with your inheritance.
All We have sinned as our forebears did;
We have done wrong and dealt wickedly.
Leader Israel made a bull-calf at Horeb
And worshipped a molten image;
All And so they exchanged their Glory
For the image of an ox that feeds on grass.
Leader They forgot God their saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt,
All Wonderful deeds in the land of Ham, And fearful things at the Red Sea.
Leader So he would have destroyed them, had not Moses
His chosen stood before him in the breach,
To turn away his wrath from consuming them.
Leader Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost All As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world
without end. Amen

Epistle
Philippians 4: 1-9
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this
way, dear friends! I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of
the same mind in the Lord. Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have
contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose
names are in the book of life.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your
requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever
is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or
praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in
me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Gospel
Matthew 22:1-14 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for
his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
“Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who
have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
“But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field,
another to his business. The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned
their city.
“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ So
the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the
wedding hall was filled with guests. “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a
man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The
man was speechless. “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot,
and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
“For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
