This magnificent day,
full of warmth and light,
all of it abundantly cast,
from your heart of love,
especially created,
and carefully formed,
for just me alone.
With Gratitude my lips praise your name;
but what is your name?
Don’t you see Father,
don’t you feel Mother,
how this blindness,
stunts my being,
the unknowing,
and unending flowing,
leading me,
losing me,
under waves,
of feelings,
of desire,
to what end.
My feet tread lightly in the night watches,
step by step in search of you.
Why must you hide;
from one who loves you?
I stated it plainly,
and I’ll say it again,
gather up the Glory
that others have cast away
in madness and delusion,
gather it all up as it drifts
in the breeze
of Human emotion.
And give it all to me.
Why waste, what was intended to heal?
Why scatter the seeds of your love,
when you could instead regather,
and find the few
that are ready to accept,
this power and light,
from you.
And if you are Human,
a Child of God,
this is your chance,
after the cascade of years
God has decided,
to give Him|Herself away.
God has sent out His|Her angels,
to gather the downcast,
and dejected
from the ends of the earth,
since He|She has been rejected
by those deaf to the sweet call.
Father, Mother, Prepare the Wedding Feast for Me,
I run eagerly toward you,
I long to celebrate with you,
You are everything to me.
Call me!
Invite me!
There will be no hesitation within me,
I will drop everything,
with longing as I approach
my heart filled with love,
longing,
longing,
to celbrate with you,
to be in your presence.
I will gladly take their spots,
a boon for one who loves you,
because I am waiting,
and alert for your call,
alert for your touch.
They have cast away your gifts,
as worthless shit,
yet when I raise it up,
in my hands
within your presence,
it becomes the pearl,
that you promised to me.
Transmuted,
transformed,
your power uplifting,
you love breaking all rules,
as is your right
for the Ones
you have chosen.
The Parable of the Wedding Banquet
Matthew 22 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
4 “Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5 “But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. 6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. 9 So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.
13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
