1 TWENTY-SEVENTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME OCTOBER 8, 2017 May 3, 2015 Saying YES to God! ta Fies ies r o Mem

2 October 8, 2017 Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time (A) Is 5:1 7 Phil 4:6 9 Mt 21:33 43 The Fruit God Expects T he Chosen People were often compared to a garden or vineyard that God had planted and cared for. First, he placed them in the Garden of Eden. Then he led them to flourish in Egypt before accommodating them in the Promised Land. After all his care and cultivation he expected to find a fruitful return. In the Song of Songs and then with Jesus himself, not only are the people of God compared to a vineyard, but each of our souls is compared to a vineyard where God plants seeds, waters, and expects to find new growth by thirty-, sixty-, or one hundredfold. In the image of the Chosen People, the, or our souls, one thing is constant: God expects a return on his love. Not because he is selfish and in need of our response but because he knows our happiness depends on receiving and showing him that love. Jesus says the vineyard will be taken away from those who don t care for it and given to those who will produce its fruit. In the same way, grace will be directed away from some and toward those who accept it and produce faith and love. This is not a threat or Catholic guilt. This is a true Father letting his children know he loves them too much to not take them seriously. He gives and gives for our growth and maturing, but if that generosity isn t sincerely embraced and appreciated, he will eventually listen to us and move on. Now is the time to accept his love and enjoy the fruits. Fr. Mark Haydu, LC For Reflection How does our Lord want to see fruit and growth in your life? Have I squandered God s harvest in my life? Piece: Landscape from the late 1500s Artist: Mattheus Brill Location: Torre dei Venti, Mezzanine, Vatican Museums I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit (Matthew 21:43). L 2017 Liguori Publications Liguori, MO a gente escogida se comparaba a menudo con un jardín o viña que Dios había plantado y cuidado. Primero, los colocó en el Jardín del Edén. Luego los llevó a florecer en Egipto antes de acomodarlos en la Tierra Prometida. Después de todo su cuidado y cultivación esperaba encontrar un fructífero retorno. En el Cantar de los Cantares y luego con Jesús mismo, no sólo el pueblo de Dios comparado a una viña, pero cada una de nuestras almas es comparada a una viña donde Dios planta semillas, aguas, y espera encontrar nuevo crecimiento por treinta, sesenta, o cien veces más. A la imagen del Pueblo Escogido, de la Iglesia o de nuestras almas, una cosa es constante: Dios espera un retorno de su amor. No porque sea egoísta y necesite nuestra respuesta, sino porque sabe que nuestra felicidad depende de recibir y mostrarle ese amor. Jesús dice que la viña será quitada de aquellos que no se preocupan por ella y se les da a los que producirá su fruto. De la misma manera, la gracia será dirigida lejos de algunos y hacia aquellos que la aceptan y producen fe y amor. Esto no es una amenaza o culpabilidad católica. Este es un verdadero Padre que deja a sus hijos saber que los ama demasiado para no tomarlos en serio. Él da y da para nuestro crecimiento y maduración, pero si esa generosidad no es sinceramente abrazada y apreciada, finalmente nos escuchará y seguirá adelante. Ahora es el momento de aceptar su amor y disfrutar de los frutos.

Is it acceptable as part of Mass? Are there rules surrounding it? Liturgical dance is dance movement forming a part of official worship. Through it, people in a community express their joy at God s blessings, foreshadowing the joy of heaven. Dance, in many cultures, is a sign of joy. We dance at weddings, birthday celebrations, and anniversaries. People from both Eastern and Western traditions use dance as a form of expression, and some incorporate it into their religious rites. Jewish worship includes dance on certain feasts, such as the Simhat Torah, where the holy scrolls are part of the sacred movement. In the United States, the practice of liturgical dance began to grow following Vatican II, but it was not readily accepted. Since dance in Western culture is viewed by some as an expression of love, intimacy, or diversion, the s approach is reserved. In 1975, the Vatican repeated this and said that because the Roman rite does not include dance as part of worship, inclusion of dance in liturgy is not appropriate ( The Religious Dance, an Expression of Spiritual Joy, Notitiae 11, ). We see dancing in our parishes and at diocesan celebrations; however, it should occur outside of the liturgy. Fr. John Schmidt, CSsR Sundaybulletin@Liguori.org A Word From Pope Francis The prayer of praise is a Christian prayer, for all of us. In the Mass, every day, when we sing the Holy, Holy, Holy, this is a prayer of praise: we praise God for his greatness because he is great. And we address him with beautiful words because it pleases us to do this. The prayer of praise bears fruit in us. Sarah danced as she celebrated her fertility at the age of ninety! This fruitfulness gives praise to God. Men and women who praise the Lord...bear fruit.

Repurposing means to change something so it can be used for something else. Both of these options are even better for the environment than recycling. Goal: Purchase items of quality that will not have to be replaced i.e. cloth bag over a sturdy plastic/vinyl/paper bag. Cloth can be washed and reused. Save old jars for storing, knick knacks, left overs or use as a vase. Share what you've learned with family & friends. Interested in advertising in our bulletin?
