 Twentieth Sunday after Trinity, October 13th, 2024

Can you imagine planning a party for your closest friends.  You want the party to be special indeed, so you put a lot of planning into it. And you spend a lot of money as well.  You buy all the decorations.  You hire the best catering company in the city so that the food will be the most delicious.  You get everything set up and looking absolutely beautiful.  And when the time arrives and everything is in place, nobody shows up.  Not a single person showed up.  None of your guests or friends took the time to show up for an event that you put your heart and soul into planning.  How would you feel if this was you?  In the Twenty-Second Chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel, we hear Our Lord telling the parable of the king who threw a big party for his son's marriage, but nobody showed up.  Our Lord was making a very important point:  "The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come" (St. Matthew 22:1)  How many people around the world today do not make time for God?  How many people in our society do not make time to worship God?  How many people don't have time to come worship God on Sundays or work on His behalf because they are too busy.  They are busy working.  They are busy running errands.  They are busy shopping.  They are busy hanging out and going to parties.  They do not have time for God because they are too busy with the cares and concerns of the world.  They do not have time for God because they are too busy chasing after what the world has to offer instead of chasing after what God has to offer.  Please do not turn your back on God.  If your life is too busy for God, then you are too busy.   Make time for God.  The things of this world are temporary.  A relationship with God is eternal.  

Join us at 10:30 AM on Sundays at St. Margaret church.  We worship at the beautiful chapel at Marquette Manor, located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis. 

Please consider joining us for Mass.  Come hear the Word of God found in the King James Version of the Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.  Consider setting aside an hour of your week where you can dedicate that time solely to God.  Come hear the Word of God.  Listen to God speaking to you directly and hear what He has to say for YOU!  Receive the Precious Body and Blood at Communion time to be strengthened and nourished for your journey!
