BISHOP GERARD BERGIE: Has asked us that we offer this simple
prayer of reparation on a daily basis for a period of one month beginning
Monday Sept 14-Oct 12, 2020. In honor of the Most Holy Eucharist that
was stolen from the tabernacle in our Cathedral.
O most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore
Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood,
Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ present in all the tabernacles
of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences
by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of
Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary I beg the conversion
of poor sinners.
Amen
27TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Today's Gospel follows directly after last Sunday's Gospel in which Jesus was
questioned by Jewish religious leaders about the source of his teaching authority.
After refusing to answer their questions, Jesus tells the parable of the two sons and
then criticizes the priests and elders for their lack of belief in John the Baptist.
In today's Gospel, Jesus once again speaks to the priests and elders with a parable.
In this parable, the landowner leases his vineyard to tenants and sends his servants
to collect the portion of the harvest that the tenants owe to him. Several times the
servants are sent to collect payment, and each time they are beaten and killed by
the tenants. Finally, the landowner sends his son to collect his rent. The tenants,
believing that they will inherit the vineyard if the landowner dies without an heir,
plot together and kill the landowner's son.
After telling the parable, Jesus questions the chief priests and elders about what
the landowner will do to the wicked tenants. They all agree that the landowner
will kill the wicked tenants and give the land to new tenants who will pay the rent.
In telling the parable, Jesus is clearly drawing upon Isaiah 5:1-7, which is today's
first reading and one that the priests and elders would have known well. Jesus
doesn't, therefore, have to explain the symbolism of the parable; the Pharisees
would have understood that the vineyard represented Israel, the landowner repre-
sented God, the servants represented the prophets, and the bad tenants represented
the religious leaders. Yet Jesus nonetheless explains the meaning of the parable
for his audience: the Kingdom of God will be taken from the unbelieving and
given to the faithful. The chief priests and elders have condemned themselves with
their answer to Jesus' question.
Today's Gospel has a parallel in Mark 12:1-12. There are some notable differ-
ences, however. In Matthew's version, the religious leaders condemn themselves;
in Mark's Gospel, Jesus answers his own question. Matthew names the religious
leaders as Pharisees and chief priests. Clearly this Gospel shows the tension that
was mounting between Jesus and the Jewish religious leaders who thought that his
message was dangerous. Matthew's Gospel was written about 70 years after Jesus'
death and reflects the conflicts and tensions found in the Christian community for
whom Matthew was writing. Many biblical scholars believe that the tension be-
tween Matthew's community and their Jewish neighbors can also be heard in to-
day's reading.
This Gospel reminds us of the importance of listening to God's word. God speaks
to us in many ways—through Scripture, through our Church tradition, in our
Church's teaching, and through modern-day prophets. Are we attentive and recep-
tive to God's word to us through these messengers? Loyola Press
