READINGS, REFLECTIONS AND PRAYERS

SUNDAY READINGS IN A WORD

FIRST READING Isaiah 5:1-

7

Isaiah sang of his friend, “My friend had a vineyard on

a fertile hillside.” The vineyard of the Lord is the house

of Israel, and the people of Judah are God’s cherished

plant.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM 80:9, 12, 13-14,

15-16, 19-20

The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.

SECOND READING Philippians 4:6-

9

Paul wrote, “Have no anxiety at all, but in everything,

by prayer and petition, … the God of peace will be with

you.” With thanksgiving, make your request known to

God.

GOSPEL READING Matthew 21:33-

43

PRAYER CORNER

Who can they be, God and master of the vineyard, the

tenants who have failed to produce the fruits of the

kingdom, rejecting your prophets, rejecting your Son?

Break our hardened hearts, pierce our self-righteous

souls, and reveal this parable; that laying aside our

judgement of others, we may attend to our own fidelity

in bearing fruit for your kingdom.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy

Spirit, God for ever and ever.

“It was the stone rejected by the builders that became

the keystone.” The kingdom of God belongs to those

who produce the fruits of love.

FOCUS

REFLECTION

“By the word of His power He gathered us out of all

lands, from one end of the earth to the other end of the

world, and made resurrection of our minds, and

remission of our sins, and taught us that we are

members one of another.” St. Anthony of Egypt

Catholic Bridges

We Catholics, have classically referred to our Pope, the Holy Father, as a “Pontiff”. If you ever have the opportunity to travel to Rome and visit the Vatican City there are references everywhere to the names of past Popes with the designation “Pontifex Maximus”, after their names. The word “Pontiff” is derived from the Latin word “Pontifex”, meaning builder of bridges. Classically the term was used in reference to the chief priest in Rome

The term is quite appropriate given the responsibility of the Pope to reach out to those who do not see Christ as Catholics do or who are alienated from Christ or who are rejected by other Christians. The Pope does not only try to keep order within our Catholic faith but he tries to build bridges to those who are not in our fold or who feel distant from us.

Our current Pope, Francis I, is particularly well known for his attempts to build bridges. His travels have always included overtures to non-Christians and to the poor and disenfranchised. For example, in his now famous trip to the Central African Republic in 2015, he visited refugees, Evangelical Christians and a Mosque. Pope Francis has also been a bridge builder to Catholics who feel set apart by our traditions, most notably divorced and remarried Catholics, as well as gay/lesbian Catholics.

Nevertheless, not everyone wants our Pope to be a bridge builder. Recently 62 Catholics from around the world, mostly academics, have published a statement accusing Pope Francis of heresy, specifically because of the encouragement he gave to Catholic priests that they give strong pastoral consideration to divorced and remarried Catholics who desire to return to the Holy Eucharist. At the same time Fr. James Martin, SJ, who has spoken at St. Charles Borromeo, was “uninvited” by a Catholic Seminary to give a talk in Washington, DC, because of his recently published book on Catholic bridges, titled “Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion and Sensitivity.” An invitation to speak for Dr. M. Shawn Copeland, African American Catholic theologian at Boston College, was also revoked at Madonna University, because she similarly had tried to build bridges to disaffected Catholics.

This trend toward destroying our bridges and our bridge builders is not new. In all honesty, there have always been Catholics who are defensive and somewhat afraid of what can happen when bridges are built. They should never be allowed to define our Catholic way of life, however. Rather we are compelled by the Lord’s instruction in Matthew 28 to “make disciples of all nations.”

Puentes Católicos

Nosotros Católicos nos hemos referido clásicamente a nuestro Papa, el Santo Padre, como un "Pontífice". Si alguna vez

tienes la oportunidad de viajar a Roma y visitar la Ciudad del Vaticano hay referencias por todas partes a los nombres de los

Papas del pasado con la designación "Pontifex Maximus", después de sus nombres. La palabra "Pontífice" se deriva de la

palabra Latina "Pontifex", que significa constructor de puentes. Clásicamente el término se usó en referencia al sacerdote

principal en Roma.

El término es bastante apropiado dada la responsabilidad del Papa de alcanzar a aquellos que no ven a Cristo como hacen

los Católicos o que están alejados de Cristo o que son rechazados por otros Cristianos. El Papa no sólo intenta mantener el

orden dentro de nuestra fe Católica, sino que trata de construir puentes para aquellos que no están en nuestro pliegue o que

se sienten distantes de nosotros.

Nuestro actual Papa, Francisco I, es particularmente conocido por sus intentos de construir puentes. Sus viajes han incluido

siempre las aberturas a los no-Cristianos ya los pobres y marginados. Por ejemplo, en su famoso viaje a la República Centro

Africana en 2015, visitó refugiados, Cristianos Evangélicos y una mezquita. El Papa Francisco también ha sido un

constructor de puentes para los Católicos que se sienten separados por nuestras tradiciones, sobre todo los Católicos

divorciados y casados de nuevo, así como los Católicos gays/lesbianas.

Sin embargo, no todo el mundo quiere que nuestro Papa sea un constructor de puentes. Recientemente 62 Católicos de todo

el mundo, en su mayoría académicos, han publicado una declaración acusando al Papa Francisco de herejía,

específicamente por el estímulo que dio a los sacerdotes católicos que dan una fuerte consideración pastoral a los católicos

divorciados y casados nuevamente que desean regresar a la Santa Eucaristia . Al mismo tiempo, el P. James Martin, SJ, que

ha hablado en St. Charles Borromeo, fue "no invitado" por un seminario Católico para dar una charla en Washington, DC,

debido a su libro publicado recientemente sobre puentes Católicos, titulado "Construyendo un puente: cómo el Católico La

Iglesia y la comunidad LGBT pueden entrar en una relación de respeto, compasión y sensibilidad ". También se revocó en

la Universidad de Madonna una invitación a hablar por el Dr. M. Shawn Copeland, teólogo Afroamericano Católico en la

Universidad de Madonna, para construir puentes a Católicos descontentos.

PRIMERA LECTURA Isaias 5:1-

7 “Voy a cantar, en nombre de mi amado, una canción a

su viña, dijo Isaias. La viña del Señor de los ejercitos es

el pueblo de Israel, y los habitants de Judá, su plantacion

preferida.

SALMO RESPONSORIAL 79:-9-20

La Viña, del Señor es el pueblo de Israel.

SEGUNDA LECTURA Filipenses 4:6

-9 El apóstol recomendó: “No se inquieten por nada;

más bien presenten en toda occasion sus peticiones a

Dios en la oración y la súplica, llenos de gratitude”.

LECTURA DEL EVANGELIO Mateo 21:33-43

Jesús explicó la parábola del propietario que plantó un

viñedo y, a la hora de pedir su parte de la cosecha, los

viñadores mataron a los criados y al hijo del propietario.

La Piedra que descharon los constructors es la Piedra

angular. Esto es obra del Señor y es un prodigo

admirable.

Quiénes pueden ser, Dios y dueño de la viña, los

inquilinos que no han producido los frutos del reino,

rechazando a tus profetas, rechazando a tu Hijo?

Romper nuestros corazones endurecidos, perforar

nuestras almas auto-justo, y revelar esta parábola;

dejando de lado nuestro juicio de los demás,

podamos atender a nuestra propia fidelidad en dar fruto

para su reino.

Lo pedimos a través de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu

Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu

Santo, Dios por los siglos de los siglos.

FOCUS “Fue la piedra rechazada por los constructores que se

convirtió en la piedra angular. "El reino de Dios

pertenece a aquellos que producen los frutos del amor.

REFLEJO

“Por la palabra de su poder nos reunió de todas las

tierras, desde un extremo de la tierra hasta el otro

extremo del mundo, y resucitó nuestras mentes, y

remitió nuestros pecados, y nos enseñó que somos

miembros de uno de otro."

St. Anthony of Egypt
