Isaiah 25:6-10a
6And the Lord of hosts will cause all the peoples on this mountain to feast on fatness, to feast on wine, a fatness full of marrow, a purified wine.
Psalm 22
1A Psalm of David. The Lord directs me, and nothing will be lacking to me. 2He has settled me here, in a place of pasture. He has led me out to the water of refreshment. 3He has converted my soul. He has led me away on the paths of justice, for the sake of his name. 4For, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils. For you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they have given me consolation. 5You have prepared a table in my sight, opposite those who trouble me. You have anointed my head with oil, and my cup, which inebriates me, how brilliant it is! 6And your mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and so may I dwell in the house of the Lord for length of days.
Philippians 4:12-14, 19-20
12I know how to be humbled, and I know how to abound. I am prepared for anything, anywhere: either to be full or to be hungry, either to have abundance or to endure scarcity. 13Everything is possible in him who has strengthened me. 14Yet truly, you have done well by sharing in my tribulation. 15But you also know, O Philippians, that at the beginning of the Gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not a single church shared with me in the plan of giving and receiving, except you alone. 16For you even sent to Thessalonica, once, and then a second time, for what was useful to me. 17It is not that I am seeking a gift. Instead, I seek the fruit that abounds to your benefit. 18But I have everything in abundance. I have been filled up, having received from Epaphroditus the things that you sent; this is an odor of sweetness, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19And may my God fulfill all your desires, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20And to God our Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Alleluia — Cf. Ephesians 1:17-18
17so that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give a spirit of wisdom and of revelation to you, in knowledge of him. 18May the eyes of your heart be illuminated, so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and the wealth of the glory of his inheritance with the saints,
Matthew 22:1-14
1And responding, Jesus again spoke to them in parables, saying: 2“The kingdom of heaven is like a man who was king, who celebrated a wedding for his son. 3And he sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding. But they were not willing to come. 4Again, he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell the invited: Behold, I have prepared my meal. My bulls and fatlings have been killed, and all is ready. Come to the wedding.’ 5But they ignored this and they went away: one to his country estate, and another to his business. 6Yet truly, the rest took hold of his servants and, having treated them with contempt, killed them. 7But when the king heard this, he was angry. And sending out his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and he burned their city. 8Then he said to his servants: ‘The wedding, indeed, has been prepared. But those who were invited were not worthy. 9Therefore, go out to the ways, and call whomever you will find to the wedding.’ 10And his servants, departing into the ways, gathered all those whom they found, bad and good, and the wedding was filled with guests. 11Then the king entered to see the guests. And he saw a man there who was not clothed in a wedding garment. 12And he said to him, ‘Friend, how is it that you have entered here without having a wedding garment?’ But he was dumbstruck. 13Then the king said to the ministers: ‘Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14For many are called, but few are chosen.’”
