19th Sunday after Pentecost 2025

We should prepare ourselves spiritually to face Christ our King.  “Putting on the new man” refers to the state of Sanctifying Grace. If we live habitually in the state of grace, this is likely how we will die. In the Gospel for today, we see those who should be Our Lord’s closest friends stand in opposition to Him. We are all invited to the marriage feast, but through our free will we have the ability to reject that invitation. The refusal to wear the wedding garment is the rejection of Sanctifying Grace. We should ask ourselves how we may practice what we believe after we leave the chapel. Let us pray that God keeps us safe and ever faithful.
