  • Pastor's Meanderings 3 – 4 October 2020 Twenty
    PASTOR’S MEANDERINGS 3 – 4 OCTOBER 2020 TWENTY-SEVENTH SUNDAY ORDINARY TIME (A) SUNDAY REFLECTION Today’s readings make it clear that Christianity is a religion that makes demands, and that authentic Christians must be recognized by the fruits they bear. Isaiah has God, the lord of the vineyard, say, ‘I expected (rich succulent) grapes; why has my vineyard yielded only sour grapes instead?’ The Lord complained that He expected to find justice and integrity in His people, but all He could see or bear was bloodshed and the cry of the oppressed. The Gospel reading ends with the assertion that the kingdom will be given to those who will respond generously to the demands which the Lord will make on them, and who will produce the fruit of good works when God demands them. In our Second Reading,(Phil. 4:6-9) St. Paul’s wish is that people’s hearts and thoughts will be centered on Christ, on His example and on His teaching. He reminds his readers that they should practice the virtues that are admired and esteemed by all who appreciate what is best and noblest in human nature. The world should be able to see the goodness, the decency, the integrity and the graciousness of all who claim to be followers of Christ. How can we Christians who belong to a world where Christian values are being increasingly pushed to the margins of life live up to the demands and the high ideals that are expressed in these readings? How are we to live out in our daily lives the beliefs and principles we proclaim on Sunday? We who so often hear people decry the mores of contemporary society may be pleased to hear Paul suggest in today’s reading that we might learn useful lessons from those around us who may not be noted for their piety or religiosity, but who observe high moral standards and live by noble ideals.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See BENEDICT XVI GENERAL AUDIENCE Saint Peter's Square Wednesday, 7 October 2009 Dear Brothers and Sisters, The day after tomorrow, 9 October, will be the 400th anniversary of the death of St John Leonardi, Founder of the religious order of Clerics Regular of the Mother of God. He was canonized on 17 April 1938 and chosen as Patron of Pharmacists on 8 August 2006. He is also remembered for his great missionary zeal. Together with Mons. Juan Bautista Vives and Martín de Funes, a Jesuit, he planned and contributed to founding a specific Congregation of the Holy See for the missions, Propaganda Fide, which has forged thousands of priests down the centuries, many of them martyrs. Thus he was a luminous priestly figure whom I like to point out as an example to all presbyters in this Year for Priests. He died in 1609 from influenza, contracted while he was doing all he could to minister to those stricken by the epidemic in the Campitelli neighbourhood of Rome. John Leonardi was born in 1541 at Diecimo in the Province of Lucca. The youngest of seven siblings, his adolescence was marked by the rhythm of faith lived in a healthy, hard-working family, as well as by regular visits to a workshop in his home town that made and sold essences and medicines. When John was 17, his father enrolled him in an ordinary apothecary's course in Lucca, aiming to make him a future pharmacist, indeed an apothecary, as it was then termed. For about 10 years young John attended this course, alert and hardworking, but when, in accordance with the legislation of the ancient Republic of Lucca he earned the official recognition that would authorize him to open his own apothecary's shop, he started wondering whether the moment had not come to carry out a plan he had always had at heart.

    The Church of Saint Boniface October 4, 2020 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time What will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants when he comes? (Matthew 21:40) FROM THE DESK OF THE PASTOR Guest Reflection The Real Story The stone that the builders rejected There is a very powerful truth-telling device, as we saw two Sundays ago: has become the cornerstone; the device called story. Our brains love stories that include events with by the Lord has this been done, “before-and-after” built right in, along with suspense, action, relationships and intercommunication; not to mention emotion and disappointment and it is wonderful in our eyes. and elation and so on. These elements are the most like daily experience (Matthew 21:42) of any device we have in the language. So, Sunday we will hear several tales of a vineyard. The first story tells about “a friend” who carefully built a vinery: clearing stones, building a watchtower, planting the choicest vines (First Reading). He even “hewed out a wine press.” But the vineyard yielded bad grapes. God tells the people of Jerusalem and Judah in vivid language that they themselves are this vineyard, and that he is going to destroy it and trample it down. They would not let God's love grow up among them. In the Gospel Jesus embroiders this tale. In just one sentence he handles the part about planting a vineyard, digging out a wine press, building a tower. Then he goes further. In his version he says that the owner rents his rich vineyard to tenants, as was the custom, and he trusts them to raise choice grapes for him.
