Make Love Your Garment!
The Wedding Feast is a Love Feast!
At times our Sacred Scriptures can be difficult to understand. For example, in the Gospel of St. Matthew 22:11-12,
“But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment; and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless…”
What is the “Wedding Garment “?
In this Parable of the Wedding Party we we know that Jesus is talking about being in line with God’s Kingdom. The original guests were invited and they had their own things to do, they did not join the party. Then the invite went to everyone, and they came, but one was not properly dressed. Being properly dressed for the party is essential. Not have the “Wedding Garment” is like being present at the affair and not really being there.
Perhaps being properly dressed refers to being clothed in love!
Clothed in Love makes sense because it is a love fest! God became one of us to bring us together in Divine Love!
We can be at the Wedding Feast and not really be there, because we choose not to be love.
This is a wonderful reminder and challenge! Being clothed in love means we are Kingdom People! This is our ongoing goal, working towards it, we will always belong at the “Wedding Party “!
