The Church reads the First Reading today as a prophecy of the Kingdom of Heaven- the ultimate union of God and humanity at the end of time, one that expresses the deep patient yearning of the faithful remnant in Israel. This image of union is also seen in the Gospel of the parable of the wedding banquet, where God's salvation breaks past ethnic and national boundaries to reach all of humanity. Yes, all are welcome but on the condition that we must constantly embrace the aspect of conversion, a turning away from evil, with repugnance toward the evil actions we have committed along with the desire and resolution to change one’s life. We must therefore make Him the only source of our movement, action, strength and purpose of our lives, for in Him, we live and move and have our being.
