Ordinary Time Week XXVIII Green

First Reading : Isa 25, 6-10a

The messianic banquet

25:6 On this mountain, Yahweh Sabaoth will prepare for all peoples a banquet of rich food, a banquet of fine wines, of food rich and juicy, of fine strained wines.

25:7 On this mountain he will remove the mourning veil covering all peoples, and the shroud enwrapping all nations,

25:8 he will destroy Death for ever. The Lord Yahweh will wipe away the tears from every cheek; he will take away his people’s shame everywhere on earth, for Yahweh has said so.

25:9 That day, it will be said: See, this is our God in whom we hoped for salvation; Yahweh is the one in whom we hoped. We exult and we rejoice that he has saved us;

25:10 for the hand of Yahweh rests on this mountain. Moab is trodden down where he stands as straw is trodden in the dung pit;

Psalm : Ps 23 (22)

R// I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

Of David

23:1 Yahweh is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

23:2 In meadows of green grass he lets me lie. To the waters of repose he leads me;

23:3 there he revives my soul. He guides me by paths of virtue for the sake of his name.

23:4 Though I pass through a gloomy Valley, beside me your rod and your staff are there, to hearten me.

23:5 You prepare a table before me under the eyes of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil, my cup brims over.

23:6 Ah, how goodness and kindness pursue me, every day of my life, my home, the house of Yahweh, as long as I live!

Second Reading : Phil 4, 12-14. 19-20

4:12 I know how to be poor and I know how to be rich too. I have been through my initiation and now I am ready for anything anywhere: full stomach or empty stomach, poverty or plenty.

4:13 There is nothing I cannot master with the help of the One who gives me strength.

4:14 All the same, it was good of you to share with me in my hardships.

4:19 In return my God will fulfil all your needs, in Christ Jesus, as lavishly as only God can.

4:20 Glory to God, our Father, for ever and ever. Amen.

Gospel : Mt 22, 1-14

Parable of the wedding feast

22:1 Jesus began to speak to them in parables once again,

22:2 ‘The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a feast for his son’s wedding.

22:3 He sent his servants to call those who had been invited, but they would not come.

22:4 Next he sent some more servants. “Tell those who have been invited” he said “that I have my banquet all prepared, my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, everything is ready. Come to the wedding.”

22:5 But they were not interested: one went off to his farm, another to his business,

22:6 and the rest seized his servants, maltreated them and killed them.

22:7 The king was furious. He despatched his troops, destroyed those murderers and burnt their town.

22:8 Then he said to his servants, “The wedding is ready; but as those who were invited proved to be unworthy,

22:9 go to the crossroads in the town and invite everyone you can find to the wedding”.

22:10 So these servants went out on to the roads and collected together everyone they could find, bad and good alike; and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

22:11 When the king came in to look at the guests he noticed one man who was not wearing a wedding garment,

22:12 and said to him, “How did you get in here, my friend, without a wedding garment?” And the man was silent.

22:13 Then the king said to the attendants, “Bind him hand and foot and throw him out into the dark, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth”.

22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.’
