At first i was thinking/wondering why the King would throw out the man who didn’t wear wedding garments? I thought maybe he didn’t have any. Then after thinking about that question for a while, (and remembering what Fr. Dorn said about being in a state of grace), maybe this part of the parable is about going to confession, asking God to forgive our sins, and cleansing our heart and soul (wearing the wedding garments= being/going in a state of grace before God.
A state of grace= light, having our heart and soul cleansed by God through forgiveness. And not being in a state of grace= darkness. Not confessing our sins before God, coming before Him, unclean, in a dark place.
This is what struck me the most. (And these are getting easier to read)

And the wedding= the Eucharist).

It is amazing how the brain works, isn't it?! I've found them easier to read over time as well. I think that's the case for a good number of people.
