Isaiah anticipates a day when God will defeat the enemy and host a great feast. He envisions this feast to be held on Mount Zion, the mountain of Jerusalem, when the Day of the Lord comes. Rich food and choice wines will be provided for all peoples. A note of hope is sounded when the prophets tells us that God will destroy death forever, wiping away the tears from every face. For God s people, it will be a time of great joy. In a personal note Paul speaks of his experience of living both in humble circumstances and with abundance. Because of him who strengthens me, Paul can face any trial that comes his way. He goes on to thank the Philippians for their support while he is in prison: it was kind of you to share in my distress. Their generosity reflects a close relationship, witnessed in his opening words, I hold you in my heart, partners with me in grace. The imagery of a wedding feast in today s Gospel anticipates the Day of the Lord. For the church this banquet represents the messianic banquet at the end of time. The parable teaches us that it is not enough to accept the invitation; we must act on it as well. Those who were originally invited to the feast refused to come when the time of the feast was announced to them. As a result the invitation is extended to others, reminiscent of the church s outreach to those outside Israel. For reflection: What is my image of the Day of the Lord? Why is caring for each other such an important part of our vocation?
