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
This weekend, across both Sunday morning Masses, we warmly welcome the children from our three parish primary schools who are beginning their First Holy Communion preparation programme.
Throughout the Masses, the children and their families will be taking part in a variety of ministries as they begin this important stage of their faith journey. We keep them all in our prayers as they prepare for this special sacrament.
