Matthew 14 gives us two banquets, and two very different kinds of kings.
Herod feasts inside a palace, surrounded by wealth, spectacle, and powerful guests. By the end of the night, John the Baptist’s head is carried into the room on a platter.
Then Jesus gathers the hungry in the wilderness.
No palace. No guest list. No VIP section. Just grass, hunger, compassion, and bread placed into the hands of God.
In this Mass Prep, we explore what these two feasts reveal about power, Catholic leadership, luxury spiritual experiences, and the uncomfortable question of whether we sometimes look more like Herod at the banquet than Christ among the hungry.
Every kingdom eventually sets a table. The question is what it eats.
