The Parable of the Wedding Feast. 1 Jesus again in reply spoke to them in parables, saying, 2 “The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. 3 He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come. 4 A second time he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those invited: “Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast.” ’ 5 Some ignored the invitation and went away, one to his farm, another to his business. 6 The rest laid hold of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them. 7 The king was enraged and sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. 9 Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find.’ 10 The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests. 11 But when the king came in to meet the guests he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment. 12 He said to him, ‘My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?’ But he was reduced to silence. 13 c Then the king said to his attendants, ‘Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.’ 14 Many are invited, but few are chosen.”

Then he said to his servants, ‘The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. 9 Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find.’ 10 The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests.
Good and bad, persons of every tribe, tongue, people, nation, sex and profession, without any exception of persons or conditions. Hence it is evident that the Church of God doth not consist of the elect only; and, that faith alone, without the habit of charity and good works, will not suffice to save us.[1]
But when the king came in to meet the guests he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment. He said to him, ‘My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?
What are this weeding garments, the best explanation of the Bible is the Bible itself, we se that the prodigal, after been repent and change his sinful life, receive a new clothes, there is no new garments with our repent, there are many Christian only by name, they have no change they clothes, they did no repent, they are wearing the same clothes of the word.
The Church is open to all, but only the repent receive the sacraments, only with the sacraments we can participle of the friendship of God.
So the Weeding Germens, means the Cristian that have change his pas life, to new life… if you continue with your past life, even you are catholic, but do no change, you will departed without the garment, and then king at the end of your life will say, where are your clothes.
For our Daly life.
We have to avoid to mistake
The prefer the grow in this world and forget the spirituals.
-There is no time, to attend church, there is no time to prayer, there is no time to read the bible.
To be Christian with the garments of the Word, and wearing the Clothes of Charity.
