Over and over again he calls out to us to Director of Facilities and Maintenance come to the banquet of life, the table of plenty, the wedding feast. It is [email protected] for us an invitation to faith in Jesus Christ and to a share in the Ken Danchik Associate Organist Eucharistic table where we are nourished and strengthened by the [email protected] Body and Blood of our Savior. But this is also a foretaste and promise Beverly Farinelli of the eternal banquet in heaven, the wedding feast of the Lamb. The Wedding Coordinator prophet Isaiah uses beautiful images in speaking of “the feast of rich [email protected] food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines.” He Don Fellows promises that on this holy mountain, God will destroy sin and death Director of Music and Organist forever and wipe away the tears of every face. We know of course that [email protected] this was the mountain of Calvary where Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross Erica Gamerro redeemed the world and it is this sacrifice that is made present for us Part-time Pastoral Associate in every Mass when the Eucharist is celebrated. But he also holds out [email protected] for the Israelites the vision of heaven that will be the mountain upon Eileen Lancos which the fullness of God’s revelation and glory will be made manifest Sacristan for all who hold fast to faith and to the covenant. Jean Malek Parish Secretary This invitation from God calls us to faith in the person of Jesus Christ [email protected] and the truth of his Gospel. As St. Paul says in our second reading Christina McCann today, “God will fully supply whatever you need, in accord with the Wedding Coordinator glorious riches in Christ Jesus. “We who respond to the invitation to [email protected] faith will be given the strength we need to live in any circumstance of Mike Pittek life with the fullness of God’s saving love. Indeed like St. Paul, we can Office Manager [email protected] do “all things in him who strengthens me.” Faith calls to obedience, to trust, and to fidelity in God’s way of life, to embrace his Terri Taormina Director of Religious Education commandments, to live out fully the mandates of the Gospel. [email protected] Ted Wojcik But all too often, as the Gospel parable relates, we refuse God’s Sacristan invitation to life and to grace. Those who were invited in the parable Greg Zigray have a thousand excuses. Yes, of course, the parable speaks about Business Manager the chosen Israelites who have refused to believe that Jesus is the One [email protected] sent by God as the Messiah and they have lost their inheritance. But it speaks also of each one of us who have a multitude of excuses for not responding to God’s call to holiness of life, to conversion from our sins and to full faith in Jesus Christ and his Gospel. Faith requires great QUOTE OF THE WEEK things of us – that we will be able to love God with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength and that we will love our neighbor as “We must never be ourselves. Dressing properly for the feast means that we continually strive to grow in the things that please God and put off the earthly discouraged or give garments of envy, greed, lack of forgiveness, selfishness, pride, way to anxiety… but ever stubbornness, impurity, and sloth. As we embrace the virtuous life and clothe ourselves with humility, compassion, forgiveness, have recourse to the kindness, patience, and love we dress ourselves in the wedding adorable Heart of Jesus.” garment that speaks to our dignity and beauty as a child of God. As ~ St. Margaret Mary Alacoque we sing today in our Gospel acclamation: “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.” Jesus says to us each day: “Christianity is greatest “Come to the feast.” May we always respond with a sense of urgency and desire to join ourselves more closely to Jesus Christ and the food when it is hated by the world.” of life and grace he provides. ~ St. Ignatius of Antioch 3 OCTOBER 11, 2020 | TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME SOCIAL MEDIA For parish updates, news, and more REFLECTIONS find us on Twitter and Facebook: twitter.com/saintpaulpgh FROM THE HEART OF OUR PASTOR, FATHER STUBNA facebook.com/stpaulpgh 1.
