4 The Nicene Creed I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, [All bow their heads, at the following text ] and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

5 Offertory : To Do Your Will O Waly Waly, Trad. English Public domain 1. To do your will, is our desire, to live in You, Lord, is our life. To spread Your love through all the earth, to find in you, the joy of life. 2. All of our days, we ll sing your praise, through all my nights, You are our life. You will shine forth through all the years, and joyously will bring us home. 3. We search this world so restlessly, seeking a home from hate and strife. We find in you the strength to see the meaning of this troubled life. 4. And so our God, we give to you these raining words, these restless rhymes, and take our lives, as a tribute to Your endless love for human kind.

BEARING THE RIGHT KIND OF FRUIT Todayʹs readings focus our attention on vineyards.

Instead, the vineyard yields wild grapes, which causes the owner to abandon it. The psalmist cries out to God, asking that God once again take care of the vineyard, which is the house of Israel.

Jesus warns his listeners not to act like the murderous tenants in the vineyard. Instead he exhorts them to produce the kind of fruit that will lead them to the kingdom of God. Copyright (c) J. S.

7 BEARING THE RIGHT KIND OF FRUIT Todayʹs readings focus our attention on vineyards. Isaiahʹs song concerning his friendʹs vineyard begins with inspiring and poetic images of an idyllic vineyard where the choicest harvest is expected. Instead, the vineyard yields wild grapes, which causes the owner to abandon it. The psalmist cries out to God, asking that God once again take care of the vineyard, which is the house of Israel. The parable told in todayʹs Gospel offers a stern warning that those who commit treachery in the hopes of attaining personal wealth will be ʺput... to a wretched deathʺ (Matthew 21:41). Jesus warns his listeners not to act like the murderous tenants in the vineyard. Instead he exhorts them to produce the kind of fruit that will lead them to the kingdom of God. Copyright (c) J. S.
