ISB ~ Matthew 22 v2

marriage feast:An image of rejoicing and communion with God.

• The background is probably Is 25:6-9, where the salvation of God’s people is portrayed as a joyful banquet.

Its fulfillment takes shape at two levels:(1) Present Liturgical. The Holy Eucharist is Christ’s banquet of sacramental food and drink (cf. Jn 6:53-58; 1 Cor 10:16; Rev 19:9). (2) Future Eschatological. Ultimate communion with Christ takes place in heaven with the unending union of God and his saints.
