Excuses, Excuses, Excuses. Today's parable about the invitation to the wedding feast (Lk 14:15-24) sounds like a replay from our own dialogue with Jesus when he invites us to treat us to a new level of relationship with him. Because we are entrenched in our own ways, our own will, we often spurn his invitation and turn our backs to what can be a new delight, but one we'll never see because of our fear of change or our complaisance with the status quo. We fail to realize that God wants nothing but good for us and would rather risk becoming an outcast than by taking the risk to accept his invitation. It's time we examine those fears, those blocks to a freer life in Jesus, and ask for the courage to come to the table that HE sets, rather than our own.
