God's vineyard (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time The first and third readings this week each tell stories about a vineyard, its fruit, and its caretakers. In biblical literature, a vineyard is a frequent poetic image symbolizing one’s beloved. In the first reading, Isaiah recounts the song of his friend (God), who had a vineyard on a fertile hillside. The prophet elaborates in great detail the care this divine owner expended on this agricultural project—spading, clearing, and then planting only the ch

In this Sunday’s first reading, Ezekiel addresses the Israelite people in exile who are suffering and struggling to make sense of their current circumstances.

Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time (A) In contrast to the readings on recent Sundays, this Sunday’s readings address a more serious reality, the consequences of discipleship. Jeremiah expresses his anguish and sense of the unbearable burden that results from serving as God’s prophet. His prophecies regarding the destruction of the kingdom of Judah earned him the disdain of his family, the residents of Jerusalem and, most especially, the royal authorities. So, he lashes out at God by claiming
