Reflection for September 27Both sons in today’s Gospel passage know quite well what their dad wants them to do. Although one son declares that he will go work in the vineyard, he never does. Maybe he told himself that he didn’t have to go since his brother had said he wouldn’t. Maybe he told himself that it was […]OUR SUNDAY READINGSSep 26 2020
Study Guide for October 4Here’s a link to the Sunday readings for Oct. 4 (usccb.org). Sample Commentary on Isaiah 5:1-7 The prophet uses a play on words to explain the difference between the plump, juicy grapes that God wanted and the small, sour grapes he got. God planned for a harvest of justice (mishpat) and righteousness (sedaqah). Instead, the […]OUR SUNDAY READINGSSep 23 2020
Reflection for September 20“No one has hired us.” That’s what they all say when they show up — late — to work in the vineyard. I say to myself, If you’d shown up at dawn, you would have been hired. The boss went out four more times to hire people! Where were you?!? But I don’t say that […]OUR SUNDAY READINGSSep 19 2020
Study Guide for September 27Here’s a link to the Sunday readings for Sep. 27 (usccb.org). Sample Commentary on Ezekiel 18:25-28 The Israelites believed that God punished children for the sins of their parents: “The fathers ate sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge” (Jer 31:29, Ez 18:2). They didn’t use this proverb because they thought God […]OUR SUNDAY READINGSSep 16 2020
Reflection for September 13Peter is paying close attention to Jesus (maybe because of that whole “Get behind me, Satan” moment). Peter has just heard Jesus outline a three-step procedure for addressing scandalous sin. After the first step, if the person listens, then as Jesus puts it, “You have won over your brother.” Today we hear Peter ask a […]OUR SUNDAY READINGSSep 12 2020
Study Guide for September 20Here’s a link to the Sunday readings for Sep. 20 (usccb.org). Sample Questions on Matthew 20:1-16 Read vv. 1-2. Imagine you’re one of the laborers. What’s it like to work in a vineyard? When does your day usually start and end? Do you usually do this kind of work? How do you feel by the […]OUR SUNDAY READINGSSep 09 2020
Reflection for September 6The scandal of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church reverberates to this day. Learning that priests had abused children was horrifying in itself, but people were just as enraged to learn that Church leaders had protected predatory priests. It seemed that bishops and others had put the reputation of the Church before the lives of […]OUR SUNDAY READINGSSep 05 2020
Study Guide for September 13Here’s a link to the Sunday readings for Sep. 13 (usccb.org). Sample Commentary on Matthew 18:21-35 In Genesis 4:23-24 a man (Lamech) declares that if anyone hurts him he will take revenge “seventy-fold,” which means that his revenge is limitless. Jesus stands against such endless vengeance. His followers must be like God, whose mercy is […]OUR SUNDAY READINGSSep 02 2020
