The Mass Father preached on the reading which was about a king sending out invitations to a wedding, but the guests didn’t come.

Father talked about that it was not about the clothes he wore, but the attitude he had dressed himself in. “You’re not fully dressed unless you have a smile on.” I thought about that and I will remember how much an attitude must be part of my rhythm. Yet I do think in today’s day and age, there is something to say about how we dress ourselves. Do we dress each day as if we were going to a wedding? Another words how do we cloth ourselves to model Christ? This is important, as is the attitude. Dressing is part of our rhythm, our attitude is part of our attitude.
