Lectionary: 142 Reading 1 Isaiah 25:6-10a On this mountain the LORD of hosts will provide for all peoples a feast of rich food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines. On this mountain he will destroy the veil that veils all peoples, the web that is woven over all nations; he will destroy death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from every face; the reproach of his people he will remove from the whole earth; for the LORD has spoken. On that day it will be said: "Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us! This is the LORD for whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!" For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain. Responsorial Psalm Psalm 23:1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6 R. (6cd) I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. In verdant pastures he gives me repose; beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul. R. I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. He guides me in right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for you are at my side with your rod and your staff that give me courage. R. I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. You spread the table before me in the sight of my foes; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. R. I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for years to come. R. I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. Reading 2 Philippians 4:12-14, 19-20 Brothers and sisters: I know how to live in humble circumstances; I know also how to live with abundance. In every circumstance and in all things I have learned the secret of being well fed and of going hungry, of living in abundance and of being in need. I can do all things in him who strengthens me. Still, it was kind of you to share in my distress. My God will fully supply whatever you need, in accord with his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father, glory forever and ever. Amen. Alleluia Cf. Ephesians 1:17-18 R. Alleluia, alleluia. May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ enlighten the eyes of our hearts, so that we may know what is the hope that belongs to our call. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel Matthew 22:1-14 Jesus again in reply spoke to the chief priests and elders of the people in parables, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come. 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."' Some ignored the invitation and went away, one to his farm, another to his business. The rest laid hold of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them. The king was enraged and sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, 'The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find.' The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to meet the guests, he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment. The king said to him, 'My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?' But he was reduced to silence. 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.' Many are invited, but few are chosen." or Matthew 22:1-10 Jesus again in reply spoke to the chief priests and elders of the people in parables, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come.

The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests."

What if God is closer than you think, waiting to meet you in the most unexpected places? David, a young pilgrim from Northern Ireland, visits Medjugorje for the first time with his parents during a spiritual retreat. Inspired by Ignatian spirituality, he shares how we can discover God's presence in everyday life, through meaningful conversations, the beauty of nature, and serving those in need. As he prepares to climb Apparition Hill, David offers a powerful message to young people searching for a deeper relationship with Jesus: keep your heart and mind open, continue searching, and allow God to surprise you. His testimony reminds us that faith is not limited to the walls of a church. God can meet us wherever we are.

What makes Medjugorje so special that people keep coming back? Martin, a pilgrim from Slovakia, shares his experience visiting Medjugorje for the second time and explains why this peaceful place continues to draw him closer to God. Surrounded by beautiful nature, prayer, and thousands of pilgrims seeking hope and healing, Martin describes Medjugorje as a place where you can temporarily leave the noise of the world behind, open your heart to God and the Blessed Virgin Mary, and return home feeling like a new person. For Martin, one of the most moving experiences is witnessing people who are suffering yet continue to place their trust in God through prayer. His message to anyone considering a pilgrimage is simple: watching videos about Medjugorje is not the same as experiencing it for yourself. And after visiting twice, Martin already hopes to return a third time! Have you ever experienced the peace of Medjugorje? Share your story in the comments.

In 1988, Monica Greavves traveled from northwest England to Medjugorje with her husband and two sons. They drove across what was then Yugoslavia, camped in a local family's garden, and even met Father Slavko. What began as a family pilgrimage became a lifelong journey of faith. Nearly four decades later, Monica has returned to Medjugorje more times than she can count. Despite the many changes over the years, she says the spiritual atmosphere remains just as powerful. For Monica, Our Lady continues to draw her back to a place where thousands of pilgrims gather in prayer, searching for healing, hope, and a deeper relationship with God. When asked to describe Medjugorje, Monica offers just two words: **Love and peace.** Her message to anyone considering a pilgrimage, especially young people, is simple: come and experience it for yourself before making judgments.

What if the desire to visit Medjugorje wasn't just a coincidence, but a personal invitation from Our Lady? Vanessa Jimenez, originally from San Diego, California, first discovered Medjugorje through YouTube during the COVID-19 lockdown. Fascinated by videos about the Miracle of the Sun, she promised herself that one day she would make the pilgrimage. Years later, that dream became a reality. From the extraordinary peace she experienced upon arriving to the emotional moments of praying the Rosary on Cross Mountain, Vanessa shares why Medjugorje holds such a special place in her heart and why she felt called to return. But one moment changed the way she understood her pilgrimage: hearing that Our Lady personally calls pilgrims to Medjugorje. Her message to anyone considering the journey is simple: if you feel called, find a way to go. Have you ever felt called to visit Medjugorje? Share your experience in the comments.
