A song by Sr. Miriam Therese Winter, an American RC Medical Mission Sister based on the parable of the wedding feast (Matthew 22:1-14)
CHORUS:
I can not come!
I cannot come to the banquet, don't trouble me now,
I have married a wife, I have bought me a cow,
I have fields and commitments that cost a pretty sum,
Pray hold me excused, I cannot come!
A certain man had a feast on his fine estate in town,
He laid a festive table and wore a wedding gown
He sent invitations to his neighbors far and wide
But when the meal was ready, each one of them replied - Chorus
The master rose up in anger, called his servants by name,
Said, "Go into the town, fetch the blind and the lame,
Fetch the peasant and the pauper for this I have willed--
My banquet must be crowded and my table must be filled!" - Chorus
When all the poor had assembled, there still was room to spare,
So the master demanded, "Go search everywhere,
To the highways and the byways and force them to come in,
My table must be filled, before the banquet can begin!" - Chorus
Now God has written a lesson for the rest of mankind,
If we're slow in responding, He may leave us behind,
He's preparing a banquet for that great and glorious day,
When the Lord and master calls us, be certain not to say - Chorus
Two first class meetings this week that we hope to follow up on. The evening of reflection on meditation and the climate change crisis - and yes it is a crisis. More on both, especially if we can nab Prof Stanley for another practical session before he returns to India. Watch this space.
Lots happening this weekend with the schools’ First Communion programme kicking off with parents and children getting more involved at Masses. Well done catechists.
Thanks rota readers for stepping aside and allowing. Welcome all our visitors from Italy for Sunday’s baptism.
And speaking of Italy, we recall the 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis on Saturday 3rd October with Vespers at 7.00pm in St Godric’s.
The Capuchin Friars have also been invited by Bishop Stephen to preach at the 11.30am Mass this Sunday at St Mary’s Cathedral.
