THE ATTIRE PROPER FOR WEDDING FEAST MATT.22:11-14 BY REV FR PAUL IKECHUKWU OGUJIOFFOR
Intravit autem rex, ut videret discumbentes, et vidit ibi hominem non vestitum veste nuptiali. “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. Et ait illi: Amice, quomodo huc intrasti non habens vestem nuptialem? He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend ?’ At ille obmutuit The man was speechless. Tunc dixit rex ministries: Then the king told the attendants, Ligatis manibus et pedibus eius, mitte eum in tenebras exteriors; ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium.‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’. Multi enim sunt vocati, pauci vero electi. “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”Matt.22:11-14.
This biblical wedding feast prefigures the Eucharistic feast and our preparedness for this feast. This involve our spiritual, moral and physical(bodily) preparedness. In our churches today and more so at wedding Masses, the brides and their bridal trains are always contradictory to the wedding garments, even when it is white in colour, they don’t really or sincerely put the wedding garment, because they come in with their swimming clothes and night club garments exposing every part of their body. Is this suppose to be the biblical wedding garment? Of course, No. Very many even make the mockery and jest of the whole issue by using the veil to cover their face and leave open their bust and armpit. Is this madness, shamelessness, and foolishness from our where? If such is the case then, they should be treated as in verse 13: Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Therefore, our priests and shepherds of the soul should and ought to take a drastic measure where people remain intransigent and hard hearted as not to take corrections. Practically, women in this ambient are trying to direct the pastors of souls in this issue and their grooms remain deaf and dumb in this case. The beauty of a woman does not lay in the degree of openness of her body parts in the wedding day or subsequent days, rather in the modest and decent character she acquired from her median family made manifest in what she wears, says and does each day and every moment. Pastors of souls ought to read Ezekiel 34:1-11. Nowadays, the Nuptial Mass has turned into an arena of operation show you breast and armpit starting from the bride to the last person of her bridal trains. They do not care to take correction or look at the model of every woman, Our Blessed Virgin Mary. Therefore, the priests ought to preach against and as well advice during marriage instructions on how best to appear for wedding day with the bridal train. The devil has been using this means all the time to pour insults and outrages to the Holy Mass. The women involve on this should and ought to read Ezekiel 16.
