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. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Before long, as we've seen, the four newly constructed Eucharistic Prayers became two. The old Roman Canon faded away into relative disuse after 1600 unbroken years, sometimes heard only at Christmas Midnight Mass or the Easter Vigil. The new Eucharistic Prayer IV, at least in its English form, grates a bit on most hearers, and besides is meant only for Ordinary Time. The reconstruction of the ancient prayer of Hippolytus, Eucharistic Prayer II, is the most familiar, but its brevity sometimes creates an imbalance with the Liturgy of the Word. No wonder that as soon as the creative juices began to flow at the Vatican, people worldwide were trying their hands at new prayers. In 1967, even before the final shape of the new Mass was announced, bishops were asking to adapt that celebration for the needs of children. They wanted to clarify what ought to happen when large numbers of children are at Mass: what could be adapted, omitted, or shortened. Experimentation had already begun. Separate Liturgies of the Word for children were by this time commonplace in Holland and elsewhere in Europe. Catechists were saying that many of our liturgical forms were too complex for the children in their charge, and priests were making adaptations on their own. Clearly, the Vatican had to take this seriously. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

ENTHRONEMENT OF THE SACRED HEART

Jesus told St. Margaret Mary (promise 11) "Those who propagate this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart never to be blotted out." Pope Leo XIII enthroned the Sacred Heart of Jesus over the whole world. We must see that Jesus desires to be King of the entire world! Jesus whose infinite love is symbolized by His Heart requested devotion toward His Sacred Heart. It is love for the Heart of Jesus that prompts us to enthrone our homes to His most Sacred Heart.

IGLESIA CATOLICA DE SANTA MARIA 15 de octubre de 2017

Vigésimo Octavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

LECTURAS DE HOY LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA

“Adoración al Sagrado Sacramento” “Vengan a mi todos los que están cansados y agobiados, y yo los aliviare. Carguen con mi yugo y aprendan de mí, que soy manso y humilde de corazón, y encontraran descanso. Porque mi yugo es suave y mi carga ligera.“ Mt 11, 29-30 ¿Deseas estar con el Señor por una hora? Acude a la capilla ubicada en el Hospital St. Vincent Hot Springs, AR

¿ESTA EN EL HOSPITAL O EN UN ACILO DE ANCIANOS? Si usted o algún familiar suyo esta en el hospital o en un acilo de ancianos o si necesita algún Sacramento de emergencia comuniquese a la oficina.

CONFECIONES Primer Viernes del mes de 7:00 a 8:00 AM Primer Sabado del mes de 7:30 a 7:50AM Sabado de 2:30 a 3:30 PM Domingo 8:00 Antes de misa de 8:30AM. Para una cita favor de llamar a la oficina.

UN FUERTE CONTRASTE La parábola de hoy en el Evangelio es como una caricatura política o novela gráfica. Utiliza exageraciones y extraños giros de la historia para transmitir su mensaje. Hay una poca intensión de ser "realista". Jesús compara el rechazo hacia él por parte del sumo sacerdote y los ancianos a una escena imaginaria escandalosa. Para su audiencia, hubiera sido profundamente ofensivo que alguien asistiera a un banquete real y luego violentamente rechazara la invitación. Esto indicaría una rebelión total en contra del rey. La parábola fue una acusación contundente en contra de los líderes religiosos. En comparación, las personas encontradas en la calle que iban al banquete eran como aquellas que aceptaron a Jesús durante su ministerio. Ellos son las personas "sin importancia" que sorpresivamente son receptivas hacia él. Mateo marca un fuerte contraste para acusar a los sacerdotes y ancianos y elevar a las personas ordinarias que reconocen la presencia de Dios en Jesús.

Primera lectura -- El Señor preparará un banquete y secará las lágrimas de todos los rostros (Isaías 25:6-10a). Salmo -- Viviré en la casa del Señor todos los días de mi vida (Salmo 23 [22]). Segunda lectura -- No importa las circunstancias en las que nos encontremos, nuestras necesidades se resolverán en Cristo Jesús (Filipenses 4:12-14, 19-20). Evangelio -- La invitación se ha enviado; todo está listo; vengan a la fiesta (Mateo 22:1-14 [1-10]). Salmo responsorial: Leccionario Hispanoamericano Dominical (c) 1970, Comisión Episcopal Española. Usado con permiso.

Lunes: Rom 1:1-7; Sal 98 (97):1-4; Lc 11:29-32 Martes: Rom 1:16-25; Sal 19 (18):2-5; Lc 11:37-41 Miércoles: 2 Tim 4:10-17b; Sal 145 (144):10-13, 17-18; Lc 10:1-9 Jueves: Rom 3:21-30; Sal 130 (129):1b-6ab; Lc 11:47-54 Viernes: Rom 4:1-8; Sal 32 (31):1b-2, 5, 11; Lc 12:1-7 Sábado: Rom 4:13, 16-18; Sal 105 (104):6-9, 42-43; Lc 12:8-12 Domingo: Is 45:1, 4-6; Sal 96 (95):1, 3-5, 7-10; 1 Tes 1:1-5b; Mt 22:15-21

EL BANQUETE CELESTIAL El monte del Señor descrito en la primera lectura de hoy es un lugar donde no hay más hambre, ni llanto, ni ningún tipo de división. Necesitamos detenernos y pensar sobre estas imágenes de cuando en cuando, especialmente dado el hecho de que vivimos en un mundo tan fragmentado. El salmo responsorial continúa pintando el cuadro de un lugar donde sólo florecen la bondad y la generosidad. Estas lecturas describen el banquete celestial, al que Dios nos llama mediante el bautismo y continúa llamándonos a lo largo de nuestra vida. Respondamos a la invitación de Dios y vivamos nuestra vida conforme a los valores del Evangelio para que un día seamos bienvenidos a la mesa del banquete en el Reino. Copyright (c) J. S.
