• What in this passage challenged you? Prayer (Oratio) Read the scripture one more time. Bring to the Lord the praise, petition, or thanksgiving that the Word inspires you. Contemplation (Contemplatio) Read the Scripture again, followed by this reflection: What conversion of mind, heart, and life is the

Lord asking of me? He dispatched his servants to summon the

invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come. When was the last time I invited some-one to join me at Mass? When have I refused an invitation to grow closer to God?

The feast is ready, but those who wer invited

were not worthy to come. When have I felt unworthy of God’s love? When have I made others feel unworthy?

Go out, therefore, into the main roads and in-

vite to the feast whomever you find. Who needs to be invited to greater participation in the Church? How can I be more welcoming to those new to the community?

Closing Prayer After a period of silent reflection and/or discus-sion, all recite the Lord’s Prayer and the following: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. In verdant pastures he gives me repose; beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul. He guides me in right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for you are at my side with your rod and your staff that give me courage. You spread the table before me in the sight of my foes; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for years to come. From Psalm 23 Living the Word This Week How can I make my life a gift for others in charity?

Lectio Divina for the Twenty-Eigth Week in Ordinary Time We begin our prayer: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. May your grace, O Lord, we pray, at all times go before us and follow after and make us always determined to carry out good works. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Collect, Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time Reading (Lectio) Read the following Scripture two or three times. Matthew 22:1-14 Jesus again in reply spoke to the chief priests and elders of the people in parables, saying, “The king-dom 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 serv-ants, saying, ‘Tell those invited: “Behold, I have pre-pared 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 in-vited 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 gath-ered 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 not dressed in a wed-ding 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.” Meditation (Meditatio) After the reading, take some time to reflect in silence on one or more of the following questions: • What word or words in this passage caught your

attention? • What in this passage comforted you?
