From the Desk of Father Jonathan
I know that all of us are still feeling the sadness, disgust, and perhaps even fear in the wake of the Las Vegas massacre this week. So many of our questions are still unanswered about what drove this man to do the unthinkable. Here are a few points that have been at the center of my own prayer and reflection:
-- Life is precious and fragile. -- Every single day is a grace, not to be taken for granted -- Heaven is God's answer to death; it is open to anyone who accepts God's love -- The human heart is capable of both heroic, sacrificial love and pure evil. In our minds, we can cultivate one or the other.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, I have reflected on the great responsibility we have to be attentive to and care for people who may be on the edge of despair of any kind. We don't know if anyone could have intervened in the shooter's life to convince him to stop his plans. We don't know yet what was in his mind. But in most of these cases, the attackers become isolated and filled with anger. Perhaps there are people in our lives today that could be helped before they get to that point of despair. As Christians we are called to love everyone and to seek out and find the lost.
Lord, please have mercy on the souls of the departed in this Las Vegas tragedy. Please com-fort their friends and families. And, Lord, please allow us to be your hands and feet to everyone around us that all might experience the hope that comes from encountering your love.
God bless,
Father Jonathan

BEARING THE RIGHT KIND OF FRUIT
Today’s readings focus our attention on vineyards. Isaiah’s song concerning his friend’s vineyard begins with inspiring and poetic images of an idyllic vineyard where the choicest harvest is expected. Instead, the vineyard yields wild grapes, which causes the owner to abandon it. The psalmist cries out to God, asking that God once again take care of the vineyard, which is the house of Israel. The parable told in today’s Gospel offers a stern warning that those who commit treachery in the hopes of attaining personal wealth will be “put . . . to a wretched death” (Matthew 21:41). Jesus warns his listeners not to act like the murderous tenants in the vineyard. Instead he exhorts them to produce the kind of fruit that will lead them to the kingdom of God.

FACENDO BUON FRUTTO
La parabola dei vignaioli omicidi è di un realismo tale che potremmo considerarla come una teologia della storia. L’omicidio è l’apogeo di una infedeltà continua, che nasconde naturalmente ingratitudine. È la storia dell’umanità e quella di ogni uomo, con i nostri limiti, le nostre ingiustizie, la nostra avarizia, le nostre ambizioni. Noi reagiamo spesso così davanti al bene che riceviamo dai nostri simili. Noi agiamo spesso così davanti alla bontà di Dio. Siamo dei cattivi amministratori, che cominciano commettendo il grave errore di credersi padroni del regno e il minimo potere ci disturba, anche quello di Dio, assoluto ma non dominatore. Noi non ci troviamo al posto che dovremmo occupare, e ci piacerebbe vietare l’ingresso nel regno a coloro che vogliono entrarci. L’atteggiamento di Dio differisce completamente dal nostro. Ci ama allo stesso modo; ma non tollera che i suoi figli non mangino il pane che egli offre loro e che per di più si ostinino ad impedire agli altri di mangiarlo. Noi ci sbagliamo in tutto. E proprio quando ci sentiremo più sicuri, verremo privati dei nostri doni, perché non possediamo, anche se lo crediamo, alcuna esclusività. È necessario che scopriamo Cristo come pietra angolare dell’edificio in pietre vive che è la Chiesa, alla quale siamo stati introdotti con il battesimo. Cerchiamo con coraggio di produrre frutti per raggiungere il regno dei cieli. © lachiesa.it

DAR BUEN FRUTO
Las lecturas de hoy ponen su atención en las viñas. El cántico de Isaías respecto a la viña de su amada comienza con inspiradoras y poéticas imágenes de una idílica viña de la cual se espera la más exquisita cosecha. En cambio, la viña da uvas agrias, lo cual hace que el dueño la abandone. El salmista clama a Dios, pidiéndole que la visite otra vez, ya que es la casa de Israel. La parábola que cuenta hoy el Evangelio ofrece la seria advertencia de que a los que cometen traición esperando obtener ganancia personal se les “dará muerte terrible” (Mateo 21:41). Jesús advierte a sus oyentes que no actúen como los viñadores asesinos en la viña. Más bien los exhorta a que produzcan el tipo de fruto que los llevará al Reino de Dios.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE La Virgen María tiene siglos de estar apareciéndose a los cristianos. Aún antes de que fuese asunta al cielo, ella ya se le había aparecido al apóstol Santiago en Zaragoza, España. Según una antigua leyenda, Santiago llegó a tie-rra española en el año 40 para predicar el Evangelio. Tu-vo poco éxito y desanimado pensaba sacudirse de los pies el polvo de aquella tierra y buscar convertir otras gentes. Mientras estaba en oración, María, la madre de Jesús, se le apareció con palabras de consuelo, ánimo y un pequeño obsequio. Le dio una imagen de ella misma sobre un pilar y con el Niño Jesús en brazos. En esa tierra ella pidió la construcción de un templo donde ella misma sería altar para la gloria de Dios. San-tiago mismo construyó la primera iglesia donde hoy se encuentra una gran basílica en honor de Nuestra Señora del Pilar. En el siglo XVIII, el Papa Clemente XII declaró el 12 de octubre como su fiesta en memoria de la llegada de los europeos al continente americano. De María vienen los principios del Día de la Raza.
