We celebrate each week our small taste of the eternal banquet in the Eucharist at Mass. On the surface it may seem to pale in comparison with the sumptuous food and drink we find on this earth, nonetheless with faith we realize that the love it expresses is worth more than all the pleasures we could ever find here. The taste of freedom from suffering and pain, from want and need, from desire itself, should fill us with a longing for the true spiritual banquet. We should be driven to spend every moment preparing our wedding garment, adorning it with our acts of sacrifice and love, that we may be welcomed into that timeless joy.
Adults: How are you preparing your garment for the eternal banquet feast?
Children: Why is it important for you to do as Jesus asks us?
