Do we claim the vineyard of our GAL 3:7-14 lives for our own and turn God out or do we recognize that everything we have comes as gifts from God and is to be given back in praise? As we LK 11:15-26 reflect on the gift of life and dignity given to each of us, how are we called to show greater respect for life: for the unborn; those on death row; the Saturday, October 10 immigrants coming to our country with or without legal permission; enemies GAL 3:22-29 who kill others without regard? Where do we need to grow in love for the LK 11:27-28 life and dignity of others?

Octubre 3-4 -- 27mo. Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Sunday, October 11 Las lecturas de hoy nos retan a hacer preguntas importantes sobre Twenty -eighth Sunday nosotros mismos: ¿Qué clases de inquilinos somos? ¿Reclamamos el in Ordinary Time viñedo para nosotros y sacamos a Dios o reconocemos que todo lo que tenemos y somos viene como don de Dios y deberá ser devuelto en IS 25:6-10A alabanza? Mientras reflexionamos sobre el don de la vida y la dignidad PHIL 4:12-14, 19-20 dada a cada uno de nosotros, ¿Cómo estamos llamados a mostrar mayor MT 22:1-14 OR 22:1-10 respeto por la vida: por los no-natos; por aquellos esperando la pena de muerte; por los inmigrantes viniendo a nuestro país con o sin permiso legal; por los enemigos que matan a otros sin miramientos? ¿En qué áreas necesitamos crecer en el amor por la vida y por la dignidad de los otros?
