READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT 24, 2017
25th Sunday in Ordinary Time:
"Are you envious because I am generous?" The landowner in today's Gospel parable surprised everyone. Contrary to standard practice, he paid all of his laborers the same wage, regardless of how many hours they had worked! Of course this was a very pleasant surprise for those who had begun their job late in the day. And, understandably, it was something of a disappointment for those who had toiled since the morning. From their perspective, they should have gotten more than the others. But in fact the landowner was not cheating anyone; he was simply being especially generous with the latecomers. This story would have had a special meaning for the Jewish audience listening to Jesus. They, the Chosen People, were the laborers who had started at 9:00 a.m. They belonged to the group with a long history of worshipping the true God. Non-Jewish Gentiles, on the other hand, had appeared late in the game. Jesus was making the point that just because he would offer the same salvation and mercy to everyone, there should be no reason for the Jews to complain. They had received their promised Messiah; so what if, in God's mercy, he allowed others who had not waited so long to be saved as well? Divine generosity is not meant to be a cause for jealousy. Now, we may feel removed from the concerns of those Jews. But the basic lesson remains relevant: that we ought to appreciate God's generosity, even when it reaches to those whom we may not expect God to forgive. Those who have long been faithful, for example, might think they deserve more benefits than sinners who repent late in life. But instead, we should all rejoice to see God's mercy extended to EVERYONE, no matter when they joined the fold.
Thank you to all who attended and helped with the parish picnic. Those who brought items to share, Tara Sweeney for her lovely Irish dancing, Paul Whitney for the great music and Gary McCoy for the superb bagpipe selections. Thank you also the teens who gave of their time to plan and prepare for games for the young ones and who entertained us with their music. Thanks to all who brought food to share. The food was delicious and plentiful. Thanks too , to Jim and Rhonda Callery for manning the grill Thank you also to Kevin and Ronnie Quinn for planning and putting this wonderful event together. We couldn’t do it without all of you!

"The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out at dawn to hire
laborers for his vineyard? When it was evening the owner of the vineyard
said to his foreman, 'Summon the laborers and give them their pay,
beginning with the last and ending with the first.'" - Mt 20:1, 8
