Taking Our Places at the Heavenly Banquet

About this sermon

As we prepare for the Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord, the gospel reading of the parable of the wedding banquet appears for our contemplation. Fr Alexander Rentel counsels us to consider who we are most like in this story - are we the preoccupied farmers tending to their fields, the busy husband or wife preferring to stay home with a spouse? And furthermore, how are we to relate to the poor, the blind, the maimed, the lame - those in the highways and hedges?
