5 PREPARATION: PLANNING & PRAYERS October 5, 2014 Looking for Justice Fr. Lawrence Mick 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time Joan DeMerchant 22 OCTOBER 2014 A cursory reading of today s scripture selections, especially the first reading and the Gospel, might lead one to conclude that today s focus should be on vineyards and vineyard workers or perhaps on the shift from the Jewish era to the Christian era. A closer reading, however, points us toward issues of justice. The first reading concludes with these lines: He [the Lord] looked for judgment, but see, bloodshed! for justice, but hark, the outcry! The parable in the Gospel revolves around justice for the owner and his son and the injustices perpetrated against them. The second reading from Philippians calls us more broadly to focus our thoughts on whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious. Each Sunday this month offers us the opportunity to address issues of justice, which may be very appropriate in the month before elections in the United States. There is a prudent concern about dealing with political issues in church. We should always be careful not to endorse any candidate or political party, even implicitly, in a homily or prayer. But this does not mean that we should avoid all issues that have political implications, since that would leave us virtually speechless. Every aspect of life has a political dimension and thus the potential to upset someone who holds a particular position. But we must address issues of our time and link our worship to the rest of our lives. Pope Francis has addressed a multitude of issues that might be called political, but he does not embrace any one political party. Issues of justice challenge every political party, for no party is always right. But the pope has not been hesitant to speak prophetically about many areas of injustice. Planners might take some time to list issues that confront Christians locally, nationally and globally. Then look at the readings for the month and decide which issues link to the readings each week. Consult with those who work on social justice awareness in the parish to see what kinds of joint efforts might be planned to help the parish both pray about and act on these issues. Planners might also search online for speeches of Pope Francis to find quotes about these issues that could be used to craft an introduction to the Mass, incorporated into the homily, become the basis for petitions and/or be printed in the bulletin. The social doctrine of the Catholic church has been called its best-kept secret. Pope Francis seems determined to change that, and local parishes should follow his example. Note: This coming Saturday is the feast day of Pope John XXIII. It s a good day to give thanks for the gifts of the Second Vatican Council. INTRODUCTION We focus today on the image of the vineyard: God s own people, loved, nurtured and cared for. But the lovely image carries a warning. God expects fruits from the vineyard results from us. God wants us to grow and flourish. Both our actions and our inactions have consequences. What are we doing to be the fruitful people God wants? PENITENTIAL ACT Lord Jesus, you were sent to show us the depth of God s love for us: Lord, have mercy. Christ Jesus, you were sent to show us what God s kingdom is like: Christ, have mercy. Lord Jesus, you were sent to help us be fruitful and productive people: Lord, have mercy. SCRIPTURE READINGS Isa 5:1-7 God s vineyard is abandoned and ruined. Psalm 80 (Isa 5:7a) The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel. Phil 4:6-9 Keep doing what you have learned, and be at peace. Matt 21:33-43 God expects his vineyard to produce. PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL Presider Brothers and sisters, on this Respect Life Sunday, let us pray for all that we must be and do to produce the fruits of God s beloved kingdom. Minister For the church, especially its leaders: that it may carefully protect, nurture, support and teach us all to grow the kingdom of God we pray, For the leaders of our nation, our states and our local communities: that they may promote policies respecting the lives of every citizen and a healthy environment for us and our children we pray, For all whose lives are threatened: for immigrants; prisoners on Death Row; the poor and marginalized; victims of human trafficking, abortion, or violence of any kind we pray, For the capacity to see that all are welcome in God s kingdom, especially those we choose to ignore or resent we pray, During this month dedicated to Mary, we pray for all the many ministries performed in her name, and we look to her as a model and guide for fruitful living we pray, For the sick and needy among us, for those who have died (names), and for all those we have pledged to serve through our parish ministries... we pray, Presider Loving and nurturing God, we ask for the courage and grace to accept our responsibilities as fruitful people in your kingdom each day of our lives. We pray in the name of Jesus, your beloved Son. Amen.

6 PREPARATION: PLANNING & PRAYERS October 12, 2014 Feed the Hungry Fr. Lawrence Mick 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time Joan DeMerchant This Thursday, October 16, is designated as World Food Day. It is celebrated every year around the world on this date in honor of the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in This observance can easily be linked to the readings this weekend. Our first reading says that the Lord of hosts will provide for all peoples a feast of rich food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines. Notice that God does not limit the divine bounty to certain people but provides for all people. The psalmist speaks of God spreading a table for him. In the second reading, Paul says that he has learned the secret of being well-fed and of going hungry, of living in abundance and of being in need. And the Gospel parable describes the kingdom of God as a wedding feast that is attended, in the end, by all those the servants could find, bad and good alike. The ongoing problem of hunger in the world stands as a constant challenge to those of us who have plenty to eat. The effects of climate change on food production will likely make the problem even more severe in the years ahead. As we see food prices rising in our own country, we need to remember that this means many will not be able to afford enough food, both here in North America and around the world. We gather at Eucharist to share a meal. It is a simple meal, a meal that one scholar has called a hungry meal because we share only a tiny bit of bread and a sip of wine each. This allows the rest of our resources to be used to help feed the hungry. Planners might ask themselves whether this happens in the parish. Is there any awareness that sharing the eucharistic meal should lead us to feed the hungry? Are parishioners regularly invited to take part in efforts to combat hunger both at home and abroad? If not, what can be done to raise awareness of the needs of the hungry along with awareness of the link between the Eucharist and efforts to share the food we have? Here s a link to Pope Francis statement for World Food Day last year: All or part of it might be included in the bulletin today. You could invite groups that help feed the poor to have displays at the church entrance or at coffee and donuts so that people can make a commitment to aid their efforts. Look for music that speaks of our hunger and God s gifts of food. Craft petitions that pray for those in need and for those who need to share more. INTRODUCTION We ponder the kingdom of heaven as a wedding feast. God has great things prepared for those who are invited into the kingdom. But not all those who are invited accept the invitation. And some who accept are not prepared to enter. God s invitation is gracious and open to all, but we must respond. PENITENTIAL ACT Lord Jesus, you are a sign of God s great generosity: Lord, have mercy. Christ Jesus, you call us to respond to God s lavish invitation: Christ, have mercy. Lord Jesus, you help us to live in abundance and in need: Lord, have mercy. SCRIPTURE READINGS Isa 25:6-10a The Lord will provide for all peoples. Psalm 23 I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. Phil 4:12-14, I can do all things in him who strengthens me. Matt 22:1-14 Many are invited, but few are chosen. PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL Presider My friends, let us pray for the church, the world, our communities and our families: for all who are invited to the great wedding feast. Minister For the church across the world and for this parish: that we may be a welcoming community to all and a clear sign of abundant sharing we pray, For all who govern across the world, in our country, and in our local communities: that they may be empowered to imagine great possibilities for all people, especially those in need we pray, For all who are called to the eucharistic banquet: that they may be inspired to respond in gratitude and hope we pray, For those who have never experienced abundance: for the hungry, the homeless, the unemployed or underemployed, those without adequate health care or education, those who do not feel invited we pray, For those who make it possible for the needy to share in the abundance of others: for food pantries and food banks, soup kitchens, corporate donors and generous individuals we pray, For the sick, the dying and those who have died (names), and for those who love them we pray, Presider Generous and loving God, we approach you with our many needs, knowing that your heart and arms are open to us in constant invitation. Give us the grace to respond freely and to reflect your openness and abundance to others. We pray in the name of Jesus, who reflects your glorious riches. Amen. OCTOBER

7 PREPARATION: PLANNING & PRAYERS October 19, 2014 Mission Sunday Fr. Lawrence Mick 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time Joan DeMerchant As usual, this third Sunday of October is designated as Mission Sunday around the world. The theme for 2014 is I Will Build My Church, and materials for promoting this observance can be found online at www. onefamilyinmission.org/ society-propfaith/worldmission-sunday.html. The readings this Sunday mesh with the theme of mission rather easily. The first reading speaks of Cyrus as God s instrument. Cyrus was not a Jew; he was a nonbeliever, but God still worked through him. That s an insight that most missioners embrace today that God works among all people, and missioners need to discover and lift up what God is already doing in the lives of those to whom they are sent. The responsorial psalm clearly supports a global view: Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all you lands. Tell his glory among the nations; among all peoples, his wondrous deeds. Give to the Lord, you families of nations, give to the Lord glory and praise. In the second reading, Paul encourages a church where he had preached the Gospel, an example of early mission work. For our gospel did not come to you in word alone, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with much conviction. These texts can provide plenty of phrases and images around which to create petitions for the general intercessions. This is a good 24 OCTOBER 2014 day to celebrate the global identity of the church, which continues to be a challenge for many Catholics in North America. We tend to be somewhat insular and focused on our own neighborhoods or cities. To be Catholic should mean to have a universal view and a universal care for all our brothers and sisters around the world. God and Caesar: The Gospel today does not relate very directly to the mission theme, but it raises the issue of the relation between church and state, between religion and politics. It is important to note that Jesus is not suggesting that the realms of God and Caesar are separate. After all, everything belongs to God, including what belongs to Caesar. Our faith should influence our values for all of life and thus should influence how we vote and operate in the political sphere. This could be a good week to call people to a global awareness as they prepare to vote. As a nation blessed with great wealth and resources, we have a moral obligation to care for the less fortunate around the world. And climate change, which can rightly be called our greatest right-to-life issue today, is a global problem that requires global solutions. Note: Thursday is the date for the memorial for Pope St. John Paul II, who also called us to bring our faith to bear on all areas of life. INTRODUCTION God rules history and can even use legitimate authority and hierarchical systems that benefit others, as the Emperor Cyrus rebuilt ancient Israel coming out of captivity. We acknowledge that we are members of a civil society governed by authority deserving of its just due. But, as Christians, we are bound by a higher authority, one that calls us to love of God and love of neighbor. PENITENTIAL ACT Lord Jesus, you gave glory to God in all your words and actions: Lord, have mercy. Christ Jesus, you teach us to be aware of the world in which we live: Christ, have mercy. Lord Jesus, you empower us to be a discerning people: Lord, have mercy. SCRIPTURE READINGS Isa 45:1, 4-6 I am the Lord and there is no other. Psalm 96 Give the Lord glory and honor. 1 Thess 1:1-5b The Gospel does not come to us in word alone. Matt 22:15-21 Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God. PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL Presider Brothers and sisters, as members of both the church and society, let us pray for clear vision and the wisdom to live with integrity and gratitude. Minister For those with legitimate authority in the church, the military and government, in civil institutions and in families: for the wisdom to discern the common good under an even higher power we pray, For the humility to support and follow leaders who serve the common good; and for the courage to challenge the abuse of power, whatever the cost we pray, For those who suffer under corrupt leaders, especially those who feel powerless or disenfranchised; and for those who do not know how to exercise authority with justice and love we pray, For wisdom, patience and civility as we approach the November elections, remembering that even those with differing views are committed to serving others we pray, For the ability to teach our children respect for legitimate authority and love of God above all we pray, For all who are in need; for the sick and suffering; and for those who have died (names) we pray, Presider Loving God, you care for your people through those who lead us. Hear the prayers we lay before you, and give us the power to discern each day what we owe to them and to you. We pray in the name of your Son, Jesus, who teaches us to honor you above all. Amen.

8 PREPARATION: PLANNING & PRAYERS October 26, 2014 You Were Once Aliens Yourselves Fr. Lawrence Mick 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time Joan DeMerchant What an appropriate line for most of us in North America! Like the Israelites of old, we may need to be reminded that our ancestors were once immigrants to our country and that they faced much discrimination and hatred as they sought to become citizens in a new land. What does this passage say to a country whose immigration policies are judged by our bishops to be unjust and broken? The line comes, of course, from our first reading from the Book of Exodus. Remembering their own status as descendants of immigrants is presented as the motivation for treating newer immigrants (aliens) with compassion and kindness. The passage goes on to call for just treatment of any who are poor, especially when it comes to lending money. If you take your neighbor s cloak as a pledge, you shall return it to him before sunset; for this cloak of his is the only covering he has for his body. What else has he to sleep in? If he cries out to me, I will hear him; for I am compassionate. How do those lines resonate as people are still losing their homes to foreclosure across the land? Have you ever wondered why most people can hear the scriptures week after week and not recognize the connections with our contemporary issues? One reason may be that we tend to assume that the Bible is ancient history, so we don t expect it to speak to modern questions. Another may be that the language of the Bible is not quite the same as today, so the verbal cues are not always obvious. And another may be that we assume that liturgy does not really connect with our daily lives. It is the task of preachers and planners to help people make the connections. One reason people may not see the links is that we tend to avoid preaching and catechesis that lifts up the issues because we are afraid of backlash if we suggest that some economic and political and social positions are not in accord with biblical values. It takes courage to speak a prophetic word in any era, but the alternative is irrelevant religion. So consider how you can lift up immigration and the foreclosure crisis for awareness and prayer. Consider the homily, the intercessions and the bulletin as places to focus on these concerns. Look for songs that speak of the call to justice and concern for the poor. Coordinate with the parish social justice committee to make information on these topics available after Mass. Note: In most of the country, Daylight Saving Time ends next Sunday. Remind folks to turn back their clocks and get an extra hour to sleep or use it to prepare for Mass. INTRODUCTION God has expectations of us. God directed ancient Israel to care for the weak and defenseless, because God is a God of compassion. All law is summed up in the great commandments to love God above all and one s neighbor as oneself. The commandment to love seems simple, but it is the hardest of all to live out. PENITENTIAL ACT Lord Jesus, you show us the living face of a compassionate God: Lord, have mercy. Christ Jesus, you show us how to love God with all our being: Christ, have mercy. Lord Jesus, you show us how to love our neighbors as ourselves: Lord, have mercy. SCRIPTURE READINGS Exod 22:20-26 God is compassionate to all. Psalm 18 I love you, Lord, my strength. 1 Thess 1:5c-10 Be imitators of Paul and of the Lord. Matt 22:34-40 You shall love the Lord, your God and your neighbor as yourself. PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL Presider Let us pray for the needs of the world and for the grace to be models of the great commandments. Minister That we and Christians everywhere may be constant witnesses to the beauty and power of the great commandments we pray, For peacemakers, especially in the war-torn areas of the world; for all who live in the path of war or violence we pray, For those living as aliens: refugees on the move or in camps; undocumented immigrants, especially children; those who do not look, speak or act like us we pray, For the conversion of those who take advantage of others, who extort, lie or cheat; and for reforms in industries that place heavy burdens on the poor and vulnerable we pray, For individuals and programs that clearly embody the great commandments: those that demonstrate care for the needy or focus on helping people to love and respect themselves we pray, For those of us who struggle with self-care: for those who overwork, overeat or overindulge, or who ignore our physical or mental health we pray, For the poor, the sick and the dying; for those who have died (names) and those who grieve we pray, Presider Gracious God, you have always heard those who cry out to you. Hear our concerns and teach us how to love ourselves, one another and you. We pray in the name of Jesus, who delivers us from all harm. Amen. OCTOBER
