00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,800
I invite you to pray today’s Gospel acclamation
2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,089
in order to meditate on the
readings for this Sunday.
3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,410
We pray:
4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:17,920
“May the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ enlighten the eyes of our heart
5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,657
that we might see how great is
the hope to which we are called”
6
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:25,921
What is the great hope?
7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:34,033
Isaiah says, the Lord will destroy death
and prepare a great feast,
8
00:00:34,033 --> 00:00:37,440
will wipe away every tear,
9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,593
will take away His people’s shame.
10
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,360
The psalmist says:
11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,135
The Lord is my shepherd
there is nothing I shall want.
12
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:49,898
He revives my spirit.
13
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:52,887
He guides me on the right path.
14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,335
My head He has anointed.
15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,200
Jesus says:
16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,040
Come to the wedding,
17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,133
the banquet is prepared.
18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,553
But we must accept the invitation.
19
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,856
To accept the invitation, we must
see with the eyes of the heart.
20
00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:21,135
Firstly, we must ask in faith and
in prayer for hearts made pure.
21
00:01:22,693 --> 00:01:25,009
Secondly, we must imitate Christ.
22
00:01:25,682 --> 00:01:31,806
As St Paul did and commends his people: “It was
good of you to share with me in my hardships.
23
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,360
In return my God will fulfill all your needs.”
24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,834
Thirdly, we must put on the
garment for the wedding banquet.
25
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:49,684
This garment is a standard Jewish image for
works of generosity for every faithful disciple.
26
00:01:52,186 --> 00:01:54,103
So we pray again:
27
00:01:54,103 --> 00:02:00,000
“May the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ enlighten the eyes of our heart
28
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,663
that we might see how great
is the hope to which we are called”
29
00:02:05,262 --> 00:02:06,191
Alleluia
