TWENTY-SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

OCTOBER 8, 2017 Vineyards were an essential part of the economy of Israel during the times of Isaiah and Jesus. Vineyard owners had the difficult

challenge of producing a rich harvest. Our readings from Isaiah and Matthew describe God and God’s creation in terms of the business of vineyards. The two stories are closely linked, as Jesus borrowed and adapted his parable from Isaiah. Using this rich imagery, we can see the vineyard as all the places of God’s creation and ongoing work. The vineyard is our heart, mind, and body. The vineyard is our family, neighborhood, and parish. The vineyard is the larger Church and society, humanity and the earth itself. We are stewards in each of these vineyards, blessed to enjoy them, and held accountable for their continuing fruitfulness. We are called to join God in cultivating these vineyards, so that they may produce an abundant harvest.

THE CORNERSTONE The powerful conclusions of the two vineyard tales are meant to linger in our memories. God indeed expects much of us, to live

justly and mercifully. However, we know that God is not prickly and impatient, as we might be led to imagine if we read these stories out of context. The stories do invite us to ponder again who God really is. Especially during times of difficulty or of failure in our lives, we might wonder how we might best understand the mystery of God.

The witness of the New Testament is clear. If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus. Look at his patience and mercy. Look at his compassion for the suffering, his passion for justice. Look also at the joy and healing experienced by those in his presence. As today’s Gospel passage indicates, Jesus is the cornerstone, the starting point of coming to know our God.

Today’s Readings: Is 5:1–7; Ps 80:9,12–16,19–20; Phil 4:6–9; Mt 21:33–43 (Worship Pgs. 1187).
