HIS WORD TODAY Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

HIS WORD TODAY
by Rev. William J. Reilly
Twenty-eighth Sunday
in Ordinary Time
October 12, 2014
“I know how to live in humble
circumstances; I know how to
live with abundance. In every
circumstance and in all things I
have learned the secret of being
well fed and of going hungry…
I can do all things in him who
strengthens me. My God will
fully supply whatever you
need.”… “The servants went
out into the streets and
gathered all they found, bad
and good alike, and the hall was
filled with guests.”
The church lives with a new
phenomenon called the ‘Francis
effect.’ Since the election of our
Holy Father, we have learned to
imitate the spirit of Saint Francis
and respond to the call for
humility, simplicity and kindness.
Pope Francis has asked us to go
out into the streets, invite others
to share in our table and join in
our banquet. These are not just
empty words from the person we
admire, but are an urgent
summons for all believers.
Saint Paul wrote to his disciples
in Philippi, and like Francis, used
his own experience as an example
for that Christian community. He
learned the
secret,
which
basically is expressed on his
dependence on Christ. Is this not
the first of the beatitudes to be
‘poor in spirit?’ Perhaps we think
that this mission is for clergy and
religious. No, it is the task of all
Christians as Francis calls us
‘missionary disciples.’ When
shall I begin? Now! Where do I
get the help I need? ‘I can do all
things in him who strengthens
me.’ He will supply whatever you
need.
My response is based upon my
conviction that what Paul and
Pope Francis said is true. I am
ready to hit the streets.

A Word From Father EdLast week the Extraordinary Synod of Bishops on the
Family was held in Rome. Pope Francis’ homily for the
start of the Synod on Sunday was brief but captured well
the spirit that the bishops were to have when approaching
the challenges of the family in today’s world. In case you
missed it, here it is:
Today the prophet Isaiah and the Gospel employ the
image of the Lord’s vineyard. The Lord’s vineyard is his
"dream", the plan which he nurtures with all his love, like a
farmer who cares for his vineyard. Vines are plants which
need much care! God’s "dream" is his people. He planted it
and nurtured it with patient and faithful love, so that it can
become a holy people, a people which brings forth abundant fruits of justice. But in both the ancient prophecy and
in Jesus’ parable, God’s dream is thwarted. Isaiah says that
the vine which he so loved and nurtured has yielded "wild
grapes"; God "expected justice but saw bloodshed, righteousness, but only a cry of distress". In the Gospel, it is the
farmers themselves who ruin the Lord’s plan: they fail to
do their job but think only of their own interests.
In Jesus’ parable, he is addressing the chief priests and
the elders of the people, in other words the "experts", the
managers. To them in a particular way God entrusted his
"dream", his people, for them to nurture, tend and protect
from the animals of the field. This is the job of leaders: to
nurture the vineyard with freedom, creativity and hard
work.
But Jesus tells us that those farmers took over the vineyard. Out of greed and pride they want to do with it as they
will, and so they prevent God from realizing his dream for
the people he has chosen. The temptation to greed is ever
present. We encounter it also in the great prophecy of Ezekiel on the shepherds, which St. Augustine commented
upon in one his celebrated sermons: Greed for money and
power. And to satisfy this greed, evil pastors lay intolerable burdens on the shoulders of others, which they themselves do not lift a finger to move. We too, in the Synod of
Bishops, are called to work for the Lord’s vineyard. Synod
Assemblies are not meant to discuss beautiful and clever
ideas, or to see who is more intelligent… They are meant
to better nurture and tend the Lord’s vineyard, to help realize his dream, his loving plan for his people. In this case
the Lord is asking us to care for the family, which has been
from the beginning an integral part of his loving plan for
humanity. We too can be tempted to "take over" the vineyard, because of that greed which is always present in us
human beings. God’s dream always clashes with the hypocrisy of some of his servants. We can "thwart" God’s
dream if we fail to let ourselves be guided by the Holy
Spirit. The Spirit gives us that wisdom which surpasses
knowledge, and enables us to work generously with authentic freedom and humble creativity.
My brothers and sisters, to do a good job of nurturing
and tending the vineyard, our hearts and our minds must be
kept in Jesus Christ, as St. Paul says, by "the peace of God
which passes all understanding". In this way our thoughts
and plans will correspond to God’s dream: to form a holy
people who are his own and produce the fruits of the kingdom of God.

HELP WANTED
2 Weeks Old
I may be tiny, but I am growing and changing so quickly…
and I’m already communicating with my mother! I release
special signals telling my mom’s body that I’m here and that I
need her help. Her body knows just how to respond by preparing a perfect place to protect and nourish me in her womb…
How amazing! Although I am a completely, genetically different being inside of her, my mom’s body is designed to welcome
me even before she knows I’m here. Thank you for praying for
me.
