A gentle reminder in today’s reflection on preparation. The feast is ready for us when we prepare…God does not take our prep lightly from our willingness to open our hearts to how we dress. It is all important to our attendance when the door is shut and the wedding of salvation begins. I may have some clothes to iron. I best get to it. Peace my sister.

One morning she woke up and wanted to pick out her most beautiful dress. She told her mom she was going to a party. Later that evening the little girl passed away. We all should desire our most beautiful attire for the party.

What a wonderful invitation we receive from our Lord to come to the finest banquet. My mother was the same….we had a code of dress for Sunday Mass. Wonderful memories. Although I tend to wear some more casual attire when attending Mass, as the current social norms allows, today’s readings remind what an incredible invitation we receive

I really identify with your saying we actually do trust the Lord but sometimes momentarily forget it. When I become anxious about something, it takes some minutes to remind myself the God is in charge, and He loves me, and only allows problems which enable me to grow.
