Devotion to Our Lady of

Perpetual Help Every Wednesday @ 7 pm Mass

The parable today, teaches us

that promises can never take the

place of performance, and fine

words are never a substitute for

fine deeds. In other words, the

parable clearly teaches that the

Christian Way is followed in

performance, not in promise

alone, and that the mark of a

Christian is obedience, graciously

and courteously given. We are

not supposed to say “yes” to God

on Sundays and “no” to God on

weekdays. God doesn't want

polite but hypocritical words, for

that isn't obedience at all.

“Merciful and quick to

forgive,” God tolerates willful,

even blasphemous disobedience, provided repentance

follows. God remains faithful, always ready to receive

repentant sinners. He never abandons us even when we

abandon Him.

Nella parabola Gesu’ dice che:Il primo figlio disse di sì al padre, ma poi non va. Il secondo dice di no e poi va nella vigna. Gesù dice questa parabola, ai farisei e scribi. A loro vuol far comprendere che anche i peccatori, i pubblicani, le prostitute, che pure inizialmente avevano detto di no alla proposta del Signore, poi di fatto si erano convertiti, per cui loro stessi saranno davanti nel regno di Dio. L'affermazione è sicuramente molto pesante e ci lascia sbigottiti. Ma il criterio di Gesù non è collegabile al fatto di essere più o meno peccatori e dopo dei convertiti. Dio opera la salvezza per tutti, ma vuole la

collaborazione dell'uomo e non desidera che le persone accampino dei privilegi o che a parole si dicano cristiani, ma lo dimostrino andando a lavorare nella vigna del Signore. Essere cristiani non significa solo frequentare dei riti o dire delle preghiere per tenere Dio tranquillo, ma comporta dire quel sì con i fatti. "Non chi dice Signore Signore, ma chi fa la volontà del Padre mio entra nel Regno".

On the lighter side.....

The Healthy Christians

wo Christians have lived very good, and also very healthy lives. They die, and go to heaven.

As they are walking along, marvelling at the paradise around them, one turns to the other and says "Wow. I never knew heaven was going to be as good as this!" "Yeah", says the other. "And just think, if we hadn't eaten all that oat bran we could have got here ten years sooner."
