Find the Missal (Ordinary of the Mass) at 150 in Oramos Cantando/We Pray in Song First Reading IS 5:1-7 Let me now sing of my friend, my friend's song concerning his vineyard. My friend had a vineyard on a fertile hillside; he spaded it, cleared it of

stones, and planted the choicest vines; within it he built a watchtower, and hewed out a wine press. Then he looked for the crop of grapes, but

what it yielded was wild grapes. Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard: What more was there

to do for my vineyard that I had not done? Why, when I looked for the crop of grapes, did it bring forth wild grapes? Now, I will let you know

what I mean to do with my vineyard: take away its hedge, give it to grazing, break through its wall, let it be trampled! Yes, I will make it a ruin:

it shall not be pruned or hoed, but overgrown with thorns and briers; I will command the clouds not to send rain upon it. The vineyard of the

LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the people of Judah are his cherished plant; he looked for judgment, but see, bloodshed! for justice, but

hark, the outcry!

Responsorial Psalm PS 80 R. The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.

Second Reading PHIL 4:6-9 Brothers and sisters: Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.

Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever

is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there

is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me. Then the

God of peace will be with you.

Gospel MT 21:33-43 Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people: "Hear another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a hedge

around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenants and went on a journey. When vintage time drew near, he sent his

servants to the tenants to obtain his produce. But the tenants seized the servants and one they beat, another they killed, and a third they stoned.

Again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first ones, but they treated them in the same way. Finally, he sent his son to them,

thinking, 'They will respect my son.' But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and

acquire his inheritance.' They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants

when he comes?" They answered him, "He will put those wretched men to a wretched death and lease his vineyard to other tenants who will

give him the produce at the proper times." Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures: The stone that the builders rejected has

become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes? Therefore, I say to you, the kingdom of God will be

taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit."

El Misal (Ordinario de la Misa) esta en Oramos Cantando/We Pray in Song a Partir de 150 Primera lectura Is 5, 1-7

Voy a cantar, en nombre de mi amado, una canción a su viña. Mi amado tenía una viña en una ladera fértil. Removió la tierra, quitó las

piedras y plantó en ella vides selectas; edificó en medio una torre y excavó un lagar. Él esperaba que su viña diera buenas uvas, pero la

viña dio uvas agrias. Ahora bien, habitantes de Jerusalén y gente de Judá, yo les ruego, sean jueces entre mi viña y yo. ¿Qué más pude

hacer por mi viña, que yo no lo hiciera? ¿Por qué cuando yo esperaba que diera uvas buenas, las dio agrias? Ahora voy a darles a

conocer lo que haré con mi viña; le quitaré su cerca y será destrozada. Derribaré su tapia y será pisoteada. La convertiré en un erial, nadie

la podará ni le quitará los cardos, crecerán en ella los abrojos y las espinas, mandaré a las nubes que no lluevan sobre ella. Pues bien, la

viña del Señor de los ejércitos es la casa de Israel, y los hombres de Judá son su plantación preferida. El Señor esperaba de ellos que

obraran rectamente y ellos, en cambio, cometieron iniquidades; él esperaba justicia y sólo se oyen reclamaciones.

Salmo Responsorial Salmo 79 R. La viña del Señor es la casa de Israel.

Segunda lectura Fil 4, 6-9

Hermanos: No se inquieten por nada; más bien presenten en toda ocasión sus peticiones a Dios en la oración y la súplica, llenos de

gratitud. Y que la paz de Dios, que sobrepasa toda inteligencia, custodie sus corazones y sus pensamientos en Cristo Jesús. Por lo demás,

hermanos, aprecien todo lo que es verdadero y noble, cuanto hay de justo y puro, todo lo que es amable y honroso, todo lo que sea virtud

y merezca elogio. Pongan por obra cuanto han aprendido y recibido de mí, todo lo que yo he dicho y me han visto hacer; y el Dios de la

paz estará con ustedes.

Evangelio Mt 21, 33-43

En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a los sumos sacerdotes y a los ancianos del pueblo esta parábola: "Había una vez un propietario que plantó un

viñedo, lo rodeó con una cerca, cavó un lagar en él, construyó una torre para el vigilante y luego lo alquiló a unos viñadores y se fue de

viaje. Llegado el tiempo de la vendimia, envió a sus criados para pedir su parte de los frutos a los viñadores; pero éstos se apoderaron de

los criados, golpearon a uno, mataron a otro y a otro más lo apedrearon. Envió de nuevo a otros criados, en mayor número que los

primeros, y los trataron del mismo modo. Por último, les mandó a su propio hijo, pensando: 'A mi hijo lo respetarán'. Pero cuando los

viñadores lo vieron, se dijeron unos a otros: 'Éste es el heredero. Vamos a matarlo y nos quedaremos con su herencia'. Le echaron mano,

lo sacaron del viñedo y lo mataron. Ahora, díganme: cuando vuelva el dueño del viñedo, ¿qué hará con esos viñadores?'' Ellos le

respondieron: "Dará muerte terrible a esos desalmados y arrendará el viñedo a otros viñadores, que le entreguen los frutos a su tiempo".

Entonces Jesús les dijo: "¿No han leído nunca en la Escritura: La piedra que desecharon los constructores, es ahora la piedra angular.

Esto es obra del Señor y es un prodigio admirable? Por esta razón les digo que les será quitado a ustedes el Reino de Dios y se le dará a

un pueblo que produzca sus frutos''.

Te lo pedimos por Cristo Nuestro Señor. Amén!

27th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Living Our Faith…. Parish Social Ministry It is becoming harder and harder to understand some of the violence and destruction that we see around us. We all

experience the natural disasters and wonder, “why?” and experienced the violence as in Las Vegas and wonder if that is

really what someone’s god wants them to do? We hear of violence even in today’s Gospel. But then I remember that in all of

this, the Cornerstone remains steady. And we must remain faithful to that Cornerstone, Jesus, the Son. I need to remain

faithful to our Catholic Social Teaching that calls for a kind of “violence”: our rooting out anything that keeps us from

growing in relationship to God and hearing his word, our dying to self so that we can do God’s will, which brings forth

LIFE! And life to the fullest!

From the Parish Food Pantry: We will continue to recover by giving out food to all people trying to recover from

Hurricane Harvey. We will only be open for distributing food on Thursdays after 10am until we run out of food for that day.

We ask you to be generous in sharing by donating canned or boxed food. Thanks for all your support!

Viviendo nuestra fe…… Pastoral Social Parroquial Cada vez es más difícil entender algo de la violencia y la destrucción que vemos a nuestro alrededor. Todos experimentamos los

desastres naturales y nos preguntamos, "¿por qué?" Y experimentamos la violencia como en Las Vegas y nos preguntamos si eso es

realmente lo que el dios de alguien quiere que hagan. Oímos hablar de violencia, incluso en el Evangelio de hoy. Y es entonces recordar

que en todo esto, la piedra angular se mantiene estable. Y debemos permanecer fieles a esa piedra angular, Jesús, el Hijo. Necesito

permanecer fiel a nuestra Enseñanza Social Católica que pide una especie de "violencia": nuestro arrancamiento de todo lo que nos

impide crecer en relación con Dios y escuchar su palabra, nuestra muerte a sí mismo para que podamos hacer la voluntad de Dios, que

produce la VIDA! Y la vida al máximo!

De la despensa parroquial: Seguiremos recuperándonos dando comida a todas las personas que tratan de recuperarse del huracán

Harvey. Sólo estaremos abiertos para distribuir comida los jueves después de las 10 de la mañana hasta que nos quedemos sin comida

para ese día. Les pedimos que sean generosos compartiendo donando comida enlatada o en caja. ¡Gracias por todo su apoyo!

A Big Thank You to those who came this weekend to work cleaning up the grounds: Maria Trevino, Haydee Vargas, Patricia Lopez, Angel Cortazar. These 3 ladies worked so hard to rake, trim, cut back and bag it all!! Angel pitched in too and helped bag the trimmings! We really thank you for your hard work. I’m sure you will notice the difference out there. We were hoping to have enough people to trim the trees and hedges in front of the school, but that will happen another day.

While the grounds were being cleaned, a group of men from the Parish were tearing out the old bookstore making ready for the Chapel and they also did a lot of work in there. They included: Manuel Aguilar, Salvador Martinez, Ricardo Gallegos, Guadalupe Cortazar, Rodolfo DeLeon. Thank you all so much for giving of your time and talents.

News from St. Pius V Catholic School

October is the month of the rosary. As we journey through the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, let us reflect on

the rosary:

The rosary is a powerful spiritual tool for meditation. While meditation grows in popularity as a means

to better mental, physical, and spiritual health, many people, including many Catholics, overlook the

rosary as a meditative tool. It is sometimes seen as too simple and therefore as superficial. The rosary is

simple, but the gentle repetition of its prayers makes it an excellent means to moving into deeper

meditation. It gives us an opportunity to open ourselves to God’s word, to refine our interior gaze by

turning our minds to the life of Christ. ~ Elizabeth M. Kelly, Loyola Press
