THE TWENTY-SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME—October 8, 2017

Introduction: Fertilizing, weeding and watering the garden was a nuisance I preferred to leave to others. However as a youngster it was a responsibility thrust on me, and a job which I unwillingly carried out with diligence, if not with a positive attitude. To my chagrin when guests visited, my Dad would take them down to show them his garden and share some of his vegetables with them. These occasions produced within me both a spirit of satisfaction and of disappointment; A spirit of satisfaction because my work had resulted in real fruitfulness, a spirit of disappointment because my Dad took all the glory.

The parable in this week’s Gospel reading deals with similar unfulfilled expectations, and with disap-pointments. It implies that God had expectations for the people of Israel, and that Israel’s response was disappointing. In this parable the landowner’s legitimate expectations for his tenant farmers were thwarted, even when he sent his son to see that they were carried out. Not unlike the treatment our Lord received, they responded with hostility resulting in the violent death of the householder’s son. In Jesus’ case the rejection of his rightful claim as Lord, first took subtle forms; behind the back conversations against him, hostile ques-tioning, judgmentalism, and foot-dragging reticence to follow and respond to him. Eventually this hostility burst forth into overt opposition, conspiracy, and murder.

Does God have expectations for you and for me? Most of us today are concerned with our own expecta-tions of others, and with avoiding disappointment, but perhaps we should expend our energies more fully on the opportunity we have to fulfill our Lord’s expectations. Will we be faithful stewards, tending the vine-yards he has entrusted to us? When we reject him, either subtly by trying to avoid his claim on our lives, or overtly by resisting his will, we suffer by not fully sharing in his life and the good he has for us. Perhaps there can be no fuller joy than to hear Jesus,’ “Well done.”

As we labor in the vineyard he entrusts to us, our heavenly Father wants to rejoice in the fruitfulness of our lives. He not only affirms us but also shares with us his glory, even though we know that it was he who worked and produced the results, and that we were only a willing tool in his hand.

“Gardening is the first job that Adam was given in the garden of Eden; it is the symbol of what every-body’s job is: shoveling manure to make the unfruitful fig tree (us) bloom. It will never bloom because of the manure, but God, touched by our persevering efforts and patient endurance, may make the thing blossom anyway—not because of our efforts and patience, but because of God’s most tender love for us.”1 Gardening requires both a spirit of diligence and faithfulness as we have discussed, but as the second reading points out it also involves the contrasting aspects of dependence and rest. We should faithfully do all we can to produce fruit, but ultimately we must recognize that it is God who gives increase. Knowing this should enable us to relax and work peacefully leaving the outcome to him who works his will through us.

Perhaps it is time for us to get our hands dirty tending our Lord’s vineyard. When we do, we will experience growth in our lives and see fruitfulness in the lives of others.

Notable Notes from Music Ministry: At the age of 14 a sweet and vibrant Nun but the name of Sr. Camille Martinez pushed music into my hands and said “OK! Tonight you are cantering this!” Can you imagine a young fourteen year old leading the whole congregation in song, work-ing with the Celebrant helping the mass to flow and enriching the celebration for the congregation through song. Sr. Ca-mille Martinez, was extremely influential in bringing to the surface my love and passion for Liturgical Music. It is my dream and aspiration to share with the children and youth of our parish this Love for Liturgical Music in the form of music ministry and how music in the mass can not only help our youth to be more involved in the mass, learn the order of the mass and ultimately lead to a deeper relationship with our Lord. St. Augustine says, “When you sing you pray twice.” Please consider encouraging your child or children to join our children’s choir or youth band. Children’s Choir is for school children in the 2nd grade-5th grade. Youth Band is for school children in 6th grade- 12th grade. This year we are holding rehearsals on Sunday mornings at 9:30a.m. in Our Lady Blessed Hall. If you have a student who would like to join the choir please email me at [email protected] or call or text 3372747617 to be added to our Choir email list. When added to the list you will begin to receive the music along with the links to listening examples of the music. The Children’s Choir will be singing on the 1st Sunday of each month, and the Youth Band will sing on the 3rd Sun-day of each month.

The next meeting of the CTK Youth Group will be held on Sunday, October 8th from 4:00-6:00 pm. Come and join us for a fun night of planning! During this meeting, we will be discussing our plans for the parish’s upcoming Trunk-R-Treat. It’s sure to be lots of fun, so come on out! Enjoy

some pizza and some time with friends. Youth Ministry T-shirts still available for purchase or order. Contact the parish office at 478-0213.

Pray for our Soldiers…

Lord hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us.
