Gospel Reflection - Diane Bergant CSS
The metaphor of the vineyard, cherished by both ancient Israel and
the early Christians, suggests that while vines might be hardy, they are
also vulnerable. So is the reign of God. It must be tended and pro-
tected from what might endanger it, so that it may produce abundant
and delectable fruit. In the gospel account, the vine does indeed pro-
duce an abundant crop. In fact, it is the very productivity of the vine-
yard that sets the stage for the treachery described. We can see our-
selves in both uses of the vineyard metaphor. There are times when,
regardless of what God seems to be doing for us, we simply rebel
against God’s plans. We stand in defiance. There are other times when
we, who are disciples of Jesus, act as if the kingdom is ours. We might
even marginalise or force out others with whom we do not agree, so
that we have sole control.
When we consider the justice of God, it is important that we place it
within the right context, lest we create a picture of God that is false
and misleading. It is because of God’s tender love for the vineyard that
treachery cannot be tolerated. If we have produced unacceptable
fruits, it is for our own good that God steps in and dismantles the
structures that enabled us to produce bad fruit. It is appropriate that
God would snatch the vineyard from our grasp and entrust it to one
who will faithfully carry out God’s plans.

Memorial Acclamation
We proclaim your death, O Lord
and profess your resurrection until you come again.
Communion Hymn: Shepherd Me O God
Refrain: Shepherd me, O God beyond my wants,
beyond my fears, from death into life.
God is my shepherd, so nothing shall I want;
I rest in the meadows of faithfulness and love;
I walk by the quiet waters of peace.
Gently you raise me and heal my weary soul;
You lead me by pathways of righteousness and truth;
my spirit shall sing the music of your name.
Though I should wander the valley of death,
I fear no evil, for you are at my side;
Your rod and your staff, my comfort and my hope.
© M Haugen 1986, GIA Publications
