GOOD NEWS

lsaiah 55:6-€ / Philippians 1 :20v24, 27a / Matthew 20:1-16a

Wren I wc a child, family allowanes were pqged to age. The older we were, themorewe got in refledion of our groring responsibility for household chores lf wedid odra, we got odrFit w€ts 6 dmple m that. Compldnts were fetru, and wewaited in grd mticipdion fortheday dloranoeswerehmded out.

Because of that experiene, I feel mme sympathy for the workers in today'sredingswho worked dl day, only to find thq/d receive whd the ldemmers got. I

ertainly wouldn't hae thor.ght it fair if my fourteen-ye€r$younger si$er hadgotten the wle dloranoe I did!

Elut, mlsaiah o gently rernindsus, God'swaysaenot ours God'swagescannot bemeanred indollars &ae, freedom, mercy, md lovearethepayment God rendersforourwillingnesstowork in hisvinqyard. Theethingsetnot bedivided, becaueGod is not $ingy or miserly. Nor sr they be @med, for they ae gifts Cod gives

hisgiftswhollymd fredyto allwhoturn to him.

Think of it this way: Does Cod give less graoe or freedom to the adult who isbaptized at thirty than to the thirty-ya-old who was baptizd as an infmt? Thequed ion md<es us laugtr-of murse not.

It is very mr.rc*r like us to want our fair *tffe, and weve become aml$om'ed toearning ourwages.

It isvery like Crd to want every per$n to tde the joy and freedom of life in him,and t he fi r$ $ep to doing o is simply aocept ing his invit at ion.

d e ar PAD Rf,

Afw montLa ago youalked about appropri.ate drasfor Mass. Whntabout approprinte dras for brida and brilamaids at clwrch weddings?

Some f tfu dresses art so reaealing you'd never knout tltey wergetttltg married in a church. Are there ruks about this?

You make a very good point. Individual dioceses or parishes

might have guidelines, but the universal Church doesn't, and

sandards of modesty vary. One would presume that peoplegetting married in a church, or even just attending Mass,would understand proper decorurn.

By the time the bridal party is entering the church, it's toolate for the priest to do anything about the gowns, although Ihave heard of a priest who gave the bride a handkerchief tocover herself

Parishes should have guidelines that cover dress for allmembers of the bridal party and for photography, music, andparticipation in the Eucharist.

These guidelines should be given to the couple when theyprepare for the sacrament to avoid embarrassing situations inthe vestibule right before the wedding.

Ask your pastor if your archdiocese or parish has suchguidelines. If it doesn't, offer to help draw them up.
