What Are You Wearing?
In The Devil Wears Prada, Andy learns that the right clothes can change how people see her. When she begins wearing designer fashions, Miranda’s criticism gives way to approval. Her appearance has changed, but has she?
Last Sunday, our very own Rev. Cindy Dodson referenced that movie in her sermon. She spoke on the Gospel where Jesus tells a story about a king’s wedding banquet and a guest who arrives without the proper garment. But the message isn’t about designer labels, perfect appearances, or dressing to impress.
It’s about something much deeper: a heart transformed by God’s love.
As Paul reminds us, we are called to clothe ourselves in compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. These are the garments that truly matter.
We also see this message as we celebrate St. Francis. In Francis, we see a man who turned away from wealth and privilege to follow Jesus. His transformation wasn’t about changing his wardrobe. It was about changing his heart and the way he lived.
All these reminders led to the message that we are all clothed in God’s good grace.
Perhaps we should be willing to pray for grace to transform not only how we look, but how we love, how we serve, and how we treat one another.
What if the most beautiful thing we could wear is a heart shaped by Christ?
Come as you are. All are welcome at Trinity Episcopal Church.
