Scripture Matthew 22:1–14 1 Once more Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying: 2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding banquet, but they would not come. 4 Again he sent other slaves, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited: Look, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready; come to the wedding banqu

Scripture Psalm 122 1 I was glad when they said to me,“ Let us go to the house of the Lord!”2 Our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together.4 To it the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.5 For there the thrones for judgment were set up, the thrones of the house of David. 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.7 Peace

Psalm 24 1 The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it,2 for he has founded it on the seas and established it on the rivers. 3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place?4 Those who have clean hands and pure hearts, who do not lift up their souls to what is false and do not swear deceitfully.5 They will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from the God of their salvation.6 Such is the company o
