The Week from Saturday 10^th October 2026

Clergy Thoughts: This Sunday’s readings tell the story of God’s banquet. The prophet Isaiah imagined God inviting all peoples of the world to a feast in Jerusalem and provided the guests everything, even protection against death. Likewise, the psalm compares life under God’s care as an unending banquet of abundance and lifelong joy. St Paul speaks of this same joy when he assures his readers that God will supply their every need. Jesus uses the same imagery in his parable, but he makes the point that those to whom the invitation was first sent (the Jews) rejected it, and their place was taken by others (the Gentiles). Courtesy at that time demanded that every wedding guest should wear the proper garment – if necessary, it was lent by the groom – but one man came without it, symbolising a life that has undergone no basic change.
