For the Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time we receive the pow-erful parable about the landlord who represents God's way of caring for us. Though workers go out into his vineyard at various times of the day, he pays them all the same. When they grumble, he simply ex-plains that he desires to be generous. How this can change our view of God and our own sense of justice?

Monday is the Feast of St. Matthew, Apostle. Wednesday is the Memorial of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, known familiarly as Padre Pio.

In Luke's Gospel this week. Jesus shares his wisdom with the crowds he addresses. We must share the light that has been entrusted to us, not hide it. The tables will be turned on those who try to greedily hold on to what they have. When people report that Jesus' family is looking for him, he uses the occasion to highlight the nature of our relationship with him: “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it.” When Jesus sends the Twelve to heal and to pro-claim the Kingdom he tells them to serve, trusting in God: “Take noth-ing for the journey.” Herod hears about the new prophet and wonders who it is - he has already beheaded John the Baptist. When Jesus tells his disciples that he will be handed over to others, they can't possibly understand until another day. They were afraid to ask Jesus about this.

On the Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time we hear Paul ex-horting the Philippians, "Have in you the same attitude that is also in Christ Jesus," offering us a powerful image of Jesus' humble, self-less service. In Matthew's Gospel Jesus offers a story about two sons, one who agrees to work in the vineyard but doesn't; the other who tells his father he will not work but then quietly goes to work. It is a story that challenges the chief priests and elders of the people, "Tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you."

A Coronavirus Prayer by Sister Christine Koelhoffer, IHM

Loving God, Your desire is for our wholeness

and well-being. We hold in tenderness and

prayer the collective suffering of our world at

this time. We grieve precious lives lost and

vulnerable lives threatened. We ache for

ourselves and our neighbors, standing before

an uncertain future. We pray: may love, not

fear, go viral. Inspired our leaders to discern

and choose wisely, aligned with the common

good. Help us to practice social distancing and

reveal to us new and creative ways to come

together in spirit and solidarity. Call us to

profound trust in your faithful presence, You,

the God who does not abandon.

Dios amoroso, Tu deseo es para nuestra

por nuestros vecinos, de pie ante un futuro

vuelva viral. Inspiró a nuestros líderes a discernir

y elegir sabiamente, alineados con el bien
