Like St. Paul writes, God supplies us abundantly with everything we need.
In fact, He offers us a great banquet, where we can delight in His presence.
It is a great invitation, and it compels us to respond by coming, and fully embracing the life God offers us, which is not an invitation that everyone in the story completely accepts.
So let's put on the Christian dignity He gives us, as I see symbolized in the wedding garments given to the guests, and head toward the Heavenly banquet, keeping that dignity unstained.
Today is the day in 1962 when the Vatican II Council convened, which opened up a new understanding for all the people of the church to embrace the universal call to holiness.
As Jesus says, "Many are invited, but few are chosen."
The invitation extended to all provides a great opportunity as we strive to take hold of the great riches God offers us, flowing through all parts of our lives. We acknowledge that God equips us and strengthens us for all things, so we can live consistent with all that God provides.
