On this Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Jesus continues to teach us about the Kingdom of God through parables, this time through the parable of the wedding feast. As Tony explains, through the analogical imagery of food and marriage, Jesus reveals to us that from the very first moment of salvation history, God desired to reunite Himself to the human family through the Son. This reunion is likened to a wedding feast because just as a marriage requires two sharing one life, so too does our salvation require sharing in and living the life of the Lamb.
