Category: General Parables On Fire! The Great Banquet, Matthew 22: 2-14


Tue, 5/12

Presented by Fr. Joachim Lally, CSP
Program will be live streamed atcatholicinformationcenter.org
Catholic Information Center Grand Rapids
Looking more deeply into the meaning behind this parable of the "Great Banquet" we notice that Matthew's account unfolds in three acts: a) Two calls to the proper guests; b) a call to the outcast; c) a sorting out at the wedding party. We will look at the historical and sociological dimensions in this parable and focus on the theme of "Generosity of Invitation and the freedom of the invitees to respond or not". Special focus will be put on the question of "Who's In and Who's Out,” inclusion and exclusion in the reign of God....noting the concept of "worthiness" in our relationship with God.
