Isaiah 25:6-10

My Beloved, as long as we live here on earth, we are subject to all the sorrows that life brings through our humanity and our propensity and concupiscence to sin.  But a time will come when You our Consoler will wipe away all our tears.  You have saved us from eternal death and because of Your victory, we will live joyfully for all eternity.

Philippians 4:12-14, 19-20

My Beloved, having You we have all things.  You satisfy our hunger and You quench our thirst.  In You there is no lack.  You supply all our needs.  In You we are able to do all that God requires of us though the strength that comes to us from You.  In You we possess all the treasures of the Kingdom for we are joint heirs with You.  This is what the Father desired when He sent You to be the means through which we are all saved.

Matthew 22:1-14

Father God, my Abba, You have invited us to partake of the Banquet at the Wedding Feast of Your Son, the Bridegroom of Your Church.  All are invited without exception.  Throughout history men have received the call to deeper, intimacy and fellowship with You our God and our Creator.  

You created us for heaven and You want us to share in the glory of Your Son, Jesus Christ.  To this end we have to wear the garments that are provided through the graces received in the Sacraments.  Abba Father, You provide all things freely and in abundance, we have no excuse not to be clothed in the robes of justice, mercy, compassion and love.
