Congratulations to: Lucia Margarita Aguinaga

Child of Aurelio and Melina Aguinaga Who was Baptized on September 27, 2020

In this year of the coronas, the parish's religious education program is off to a slower but solid start. Most of our catechists have been able to continue this year and several well-qualified replacements have stepped forward. In-person classes are un-derway on Wednesdays and Sundays. We welcome those who have been wavering due to the pandemic and urge you to regis-ter now. Several catechists are guiding the homeschooling efforts of the parents of approximately fifteen children where stay-at-home is appropriate. Homeschooling on this scale is a new experience for St. Laurence but with so many parents and catechists work-

Readings for Today, Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading 1: A reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah Let me now sing of my friend, my friend’s song concerning his vineyard. My friend had a vineyard on a fertile hillside; he spaded it, cleared it of stones, and planted the choicest vines; within it he built a watchtower, and hewed out a wine press. Then he looked for the crop of grapes, but what it yielded was wild grapes. Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard: What more was there to do for my vineyard that I had not done? Why, when I looked for the crop of grapes, did it bring forth wild grapes? Now, I will let you know what I mean to do with my vineyard: take away its hedge, give it to grazing, break through its wall, let it be trampled! Yes, I will make it a ruin: it shall not be pruned or hoed, but overgrown with thorns and briers; I will command the clouds not to send rain upon it. The vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the people of Judah are his cherished plant; he looked for judgment, but see, bloodshed! for justice, but hark, the outcry! Responsorial Psalm: The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel. A vine from Egypt you transplanted; you drove away the nations and planted it. It put forth its foliage to the Sea, its shoots as far as the River. R. The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel. Why have you broken down its walls, so that every passer-by plucks its fruit, The boar from the forest lays it waste, and the beasts of the field feed upon it? R. The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel. Once again, O LORD of hosts, look down from heaven, and see; take care of this vine, and protect what your right hand has planted the son of man whom you yourself made strong. R. The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel. Then we will no more withdraw from you; give us new life, and we will call upon your name. O LORD, God of hosts, restore us; if your face shine upon us, then we shall be saved. R. The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.

Reading 2: A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Philippians Brothers and sisters: Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honora-ble, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me. Then the God of peace will be with you. Gospel: A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people: “Hear another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenants and went on a journey. When vintage time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to obtain his produce. But the tenants seized the servants and one they beat, another they killed, and a third they stoned. Again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first ones, but they treated them in the same way. Finally, he sent his son to them, thinking, ‘They will respect my son.’ But when the ten-ants saw the son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and acquire his inheritance.’ They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants when he comes?” They answered him, “He will put those wretched men to a wretched death and lease his vineyard to other tenants who will give him the produce at the proper times.” Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures: The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes? Therefore, I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit.” Excerpts from the Lectionary for Mass for Use in the Dioceses of the United States of America, second typical edi-tion © 2001, 1998, 1997, 1986, 1970 Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Inc., Washington, DC.

No se inquieten por nada; más bien presenten en toda ocasión sus peticiones a Dios en la oración y la súplica, llenos de gratitud.— Filipenses 4:6

Primera lectura: Is 5, 1–7 Voy a cantar, en nombre de mi amado, una canción a su viña. Mi amado tenía una viña en una ladera fértil. Removió la tierra, quitó las piedras y plantó en ella vides selectas; edificó en medio una torre y excavó un lagar. Él esperaba que su viña diera buenas uvas, pero la viña dio uvas agrias. Ahora bien, habitantes de Jerusalén y gente de Judá, yo les ruego, sean jueces entre mi viña y yo. ¿Qué más pude hacer por mi viña, que yo no lo hiciera? ¿Por qué cuando yo esperaba que diera uvas buenas, las dio agrias? Ahora voy a darles a conocer lo que haré con mi viña; le quitaré su cerca y será destrozada. Derribaré su tapia y será pisoteada. La convertiré en un erial, nadie la podará ni le quitará los cardos, crecerán en ella los abrojos y las espinas, mandaré a las nubes que no lluevan sobre ella. Pues bien, la viña del Señor de los ejércitos es la casa de Israel, y los hombres de Judá son su plantación preferida. El Señor esperaba de ellos que obraran rectamente y ellos, en cambio, cometieron iniquidades; él esperaba justicia y sólo se oyen reclamaciones. Salmo Responsorial: La viña del Señor es la casa de Israel. Señor, tú trajiste de Egipto una vid, arrojaste de aquí a los paganos y la plantaste; ella extendió sus sarmientos hasta el mar, y sus brotes llegaban hasta el río. R. La viña del Señor es la casa de Israel. Señor ¿por qué has derribado su cerca de modo que puedan saquear tu viña los que pasan, pisotearle los animales salvajes, y las bestias del campo destrozarla? R. La viña del Señor es la casa de Israel. Señor, Dios de los ejércitos, vuelve tus ojos, mira tu viña y visítala; protege la cepa plantada por tu mano, el renuevo que tú mismo cultivaste. R. La viña del Señor es la casa de Israel. Ya no nos alejaremos de ti: consérvanos la vida y alabaremos tu poder. Restablécenos, Señor, Dios de los ejércitos, míranos con bondada y estaremos a salvo. R. La viña del Señor es la casa de Israel.

Segunda lectura: Fil 4, 6–9 Hermanos: No se inquieten por nada; más bien presenten en toda ocasión sus peticiones a Dios en la oración y la súplica, llenos de gratitud. Y que la paz de Dios, que sobrepasa toda inteligencia, cus-todie sus corazones y sus pensamientos en Cristo Jesús. Por lo demás, hermanos, aprecien todo lo que es verdadero y noble, cuanto hay de justo y puro, todo lo que es amable y honroso, todo lo que sea virtud y merezca elogio. Pongan por obra cuanto han aprendido y recibido de mí, todo lo que yo he dicho y me han visto hacer; y el Dios de la paz estará con ustedes. Evangelio: Mt 21, 33–43 En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a los sumos sacerdotes y a los ancianos del pueblo esta parábola: “Había una vez un propietario que plantó un viñedo, lo rodeó con una cerca, cavó un lagar en él, con-struyó una torre para el vigilante y luego lo alquiló a unos viñadores y se fue de viaje. Llegado el tiempo de la vendimia, envió a sus criados para pedir su parte de los frutos a los viñadores; pero éstos se apoderaron de los criados, golpearon a uno, mataron a otro y a otro más lo apedre-aron. Envió de nuevo a otros criados, en mayor número que los primer-os, y los trataron del mismo modo. Por último, les mandó a su propio hijo, pensando: ‘A mi hijo lo respetarán’. Pero cuando los viñadores lo vieron, se dijeron unos a otros: ‘Éste es el heredero. Vamos a matarlo y nos quedaremos con su herencia’. Le echaron mano, lo sacaron del viñedo y lo mataron. Ahora, díganme: cuando vuelva el dueño del viñedo, ¿qué hará con esos viñadores?” Ellos le respondieron: “Dará muerte terrible a esos desalmados y arrendará el viñedo a otros viñadores, que le entreguen los frutos a su tiempo”. Entonces Jesús les dijo: “¿No han leído nunca en la Escritu-ra: La piedra que desecharon los constructores, es ahora la piedra angular. Esto es obra del Señor y es un prodigio admirable? Por esta razón les digo que les será quitado a ustedes el Reino de Dios y se le dará a un pueblo que produzca sus frutos”.
