He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come. A second time he sent other servants, saying, &#8216;Tell those invited: &#8220;Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast.&#8221;&#8216; Some ignored the invitation and went away, one to his farm, another to his business. The rest laid hold of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them. The king was enraged and sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, &#8216;The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find.&#8217; The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to meet the guests, he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment. The king said to him, &#8216;My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?&#8217; But he was reduced to silence. Then the king said to his attendants, &#8216;Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.&#8217; Many are invited, but few are chosen&#8221;.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center description_01\"> <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center description_02 has-text-color\" style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><em><strong><em><strong><em>Matthew 22:1-14<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><strong>&#8220;May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ enlighten the eyes of our hearts, so that we may know what is the hope that belongs to our call.&#8221;<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center description_02 has-text-color\" style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><em><strong><em>&#8230; <em><strong>Cf.
