The human freedom which enables us to say “ yes” or “ no” to God, demands that we be responsible for our conduct and

accountable for our behaviour. One day we will have to stand before the judgement seat of God, and answer for our good or evil deeds. The good news is that, with God’s grace we are capable of changing the direction of our lives for the better ! The two different attitudes of the brothers in

today’s Gospel tell us, that there is a mixture of these different attitudes in all of us .

There must be a connection between what we say and what we do. Jesus sternly criticised the religious leaders of his

day, for their promises were empty. The trail of broken promises that each of us leaves behind, points out the

inconsistency between what we promise and what we do. The lesson the Gospel offers us, is that we may be saying “ yes” to God during our Sunday worship but we turn our back on what we profess, the rest of the week. We, who say “yes “ to the Body of Christ, don’t realise that we are often saying “ no” to the community of Christ. The test of our allegiance to Christ lies in keeping the promises that we made and doing

his will, whatever it might cost us.

Entrance Antiphon

All that you have done to us, O Lord, you have done with true judgement, for we have sinned against you and not obeyed your commandments. But give glory to your name and deal with us according to the bounty of your mercy.

First Reading: Ezekiel 18:25-28

A reading from the prophet Ezekiel The word of the Lord was addressed to me as follows: 'You object, "What the Lord does is unjust." Listen, you House of Israel: is what I do unjust? Is it not what you do that is unjust? When the upright man renounces his integrity to commit sin and dies be-cause of this, he dies because of the evil that he himself has committed. When the sinner renounces sin to become law- abiding and honest, he deserves to live. He has chosen to renounce all his previous sins; he shall certainly live; he shall not die.'

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm: Ps 24:4-9

R. Remember your mercies, O Lord.

Lord, make me know your ways. Lord, teach me your paths. Make me walk in your truth, and teach me: for you are God my saviour. R.

Remember your mercy, Lord, and the love you have shown from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth. In your love remember me, because of your goodness, O Lord. R.

The Lord is good and upright. He shows the path to those who stray, he guides the humble in the right path; he teaches his way to the poor. R.

Second Reading: Philippians 2:1-

11

A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Philippians If our life in Christ means anything to you, if love can persuade at all, or the Spirit that we have in common, or any tenderness and sympathy, then be united in your convictions and united in your love, with a com-mon purpose and a common mind. That is the one thing which would make me completely happy. There must be no competition among you, no conceit; but every-body is to be self-effacing. Always consider the other person to be bet-ter than yourself, so that nobody thinks of his own interests first but everybody thinks of other people's interests instead. In your minds you must be the same as Christ Jesus:

His state was divine, yet he did not cling to his equality with God but emptied himself to assume the con-dition of a slave, and became as men are; and being as all men are, he was humbler yet, even to accept-ing death, death on a cross. But God raised him high and gave him the name which is above all other names so that all beings in the heav-ens, on earth and in the underworld, should bend the knee at the name of Jesus and that every tongue should acclaim Jesus Christ as Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Gospel Acclamation: John 10:27

Alleluia, alleluia! My sheep listen to my voice, says the Lord; I know them, and they fol-low me. Alleluia !

Gospel: Matthew 21:28-32

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people, 'What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He went and said to the first, "My boy, you go and work in the vineyard today." He answered, "I will not go", but afterwards thought better of it and went. The man then went and said the same thing to the second who answered, "Certainly, sir", but did not go. Which of the two did the father's will?' 'The first' they said. Jesus said to them, 'I tell you sol-emnly, tax collectors and prostitutes are making their way into the king-dom of God before you. For John came to you, a pattern of true right-eousness, but you did not believe him, and yet the tax collectors and prostitutes did. Even after seeing that, you refused to think better of it and believe in him.'

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Communion Antiphon

Remember your word to your serv-ant, O Lord, by which you have giv-en me hope. This is my comfort when I am brought low.
