Every week we receive the word of the Gospel to live and witness for our faith lives. The life message this week consist of the following: 1) We need to keep wearing the wedding garment of holiness and righteousness, the state of grace, all the time, do good for everyone, and appreciate and receive God’s graces in the Church: a) We received the “wedding garment” of sanctifying grace in Baptism; while the other Sacraments provide the additional graces, we need to retain it. b) Our participation in the Eucharistic celebration and in personal and family prayers helps us to recharge our spiritual batteries and enables us to lead Spirit-filled, prayerful lives, doing good for all. c) Jesus nourishes us in the Church through the proclamation of word of God and through His Body and Blood offered to us as spiritual Food and Drink in Holy Communion. 2) We need to participate in the Eucharistic banquet with proper preparation by repenting of our sins and by actively participating in the prayers and singing during the Holy Mass. Participating in Holy Mass is the best preparation and the greatest source of power for our future participation in the Heavenly banquet. The present wedding banquet on earth is the Eucharistic Banquet anticipating to the fullness of mountain top as Isaiah prophesized for us. Every Sunday we come to receive the best choices wines and foods in the Body and Blood of the Sacrificed Lamb.
