We expect contracts to be ful illed. We expect directions to be followed. Despite our expectations, however, deep down we know there is no guarantee that our expectations of integrity, doing what is right, being reliable will be met. How true this was for the landowner in today s gospel parable who leases his vineyard to tenants. He presumed that the tenants would ful ill their half of the agreement. How wrong he was! The landowner carefully planned for his vineyard; the tenants carefully planned how they could seize what did not belong to them. How misguided some planning can be! How misguided and deadly some decisions and actions can be! Jesus tells a parable about a landowner who carefully plants, protects, and equips his vineyard, and about tenants who take progressively more violent steps to usurp what is not theirs. With these words Jesus issues judgment against the chief priests and elders to whom he directs the parable in no uncertain terms: the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit. Indeed, the kingdom of God will be taken from anyone who acts egregiously against the norms of righteousness. The chief priests and elders. Even us. It will be given to those who remain faithful to the Son, the Cornerstone. Anyone. As a metaphor for the kingdom of heaven, it is obvious that the vineyard belongs solely and exclusively to God: God owns it, builds it, does all that is necessary to protect it. We are the laborers invited into the kingdom to tend the divine vineyard, to produce an abundance of fruit. Ironically, the vineyard which the wicked tenants attempt to gain by violence is freely given to those of us who will work faithfully to produce its fruit. We are those new tenants who produce fruit because we surrender our self-will to God and accept Jesus as the One who shows the way. By so doing we gain everything. Apart from Jesus we tenants can do nothing on our own, but with Jesus as our Cornerstone we can do anything that is expected of us. Fr. Jace REJOICE AND BE GLAD BEARING THE RIGHT KIND OF FRUIT Today s readings focus our attention on vineyards. Isaiah s song concerning his friend s 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 today s Gospel offers a stern warning that those who commit treachery in the hopes of attaining personal wealth will be put... to a wretched death (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. J. S. Paluch Co.
