Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew:

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. Then he said to his servants, 'The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find.'

The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to meet the guests, he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment. The king said to him, 'My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?' But he was reduced to silence. Then the king said to his attendants, 'Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.' Many are invited, but few are chosen."

- Matthew 22:1-14

I give thanks to my Jesus for making me walk in darkness, and in this darkness I enjoy profound peace. I only desire that my darkness may obtain light for sinners. -St. Therese of Lisieux

Therefore I will trust Him. Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him; if I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. My sickness, or perplexity, or sorrow may be necessary causes of some great end, which is quite beyond us. He does nothing in vain; He may prolong my life, He may shorten it; He knows what He is about. He may take away my friends, He may throw me among strangers, He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide the future from me — still He knows what He is about.
-St. John Henry Newman in Meditations and Devotions

St. John Henry Newman, pray for us!

Following the truth often comes at a cost. St John Henry Newman's example reminds us that faith sometimes demands the courage to follow where conscience leads.

I realized that all souls have more or less the same battles to fight, but no two souls are exactly the same. -St. Thérèse of Lisieux

Blessed Memorial of St. Denis and Companions!

St. Denis was a 3rd Century missionary and the first Bishop of Paris. He and his companions, the priest Rusticus and the deacon Eleutherius, were missionaries in Gaul, present-day France. They converted many pagans, eventually drawing jealousy and anger from pagan leaders. Sometime around the year 275, they were arrested, scourged, imprisoned, racked, thrown to wild beasts, burnt at the stake, and finally beheaded. According to legend, after his beheading, the body of St. Denis picked up his head, carried it a distance, and continued to preach. (Source: New Advent)

St. Denis, pray for us!
