“Even when it seems too late, God still hears our cries and comes. This parable gives warning but not to fear. It urges to live for the party, not just to plan to attend later, but to live now alert and generous. God’s kingdom, the new way of living, is not a ticket to exit later, but a life of celebrating through sharing now.” In a parable that might be cause for fear, Br. Luke Ditewig finds a cause for rejoicing and an invitation to be wildly generous with life.
