In today's Gospel, Jesus tells us the parable of a king who prepares a wedding feast for his son. everything is ready; the banquet is prepared, the tables are set, and the invitation has gone out. Yet, surprisingly, those who were invited refused to come. The king does not give up. He sends his servants again, saying, "Tell those who were invited: Behold, I have prepared my banquet." but they continue to refuse. Finally, the king sends his servants to invite everyone they can find- both good and bad and the wedding hall becomes filled with guests.
