~About St Clement's~
Ordinary Time
Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity
Brothers and sisters,
This week Jesus tells us a parable in which a king holds a great wedding banquet and sends out the invitations. Shockingly, not everyone accepts this generous invitation – indeed, they mistreat those sent to deliver the king’s invitation.
The wedding banquet is a classic symbol of the Kingdom of God. The tragedy is that so many reject the Lord’s generous invitation, citing the distractions of their business, work or domestic life.
Frankly, if we are too busy for God and his Church then we are simply too busy. But often even our busyness is merely an excuse. Instead, let us put all other concerns aside and accept God’s invitation with glee.
Every blessing,
Fr Myles
Rector
