  • September 20, 2020
    THE TWENTY-FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 Notes on the Gospel "The Kingdom of heaven is like this story," Jesus said to his followers. "Just after the sun rose, a businessman went out to hire some workers for his vineyard. After he agreed to pay them what they usually received for a day's work, he sent them into the vineyard. About nine o'clock, he went out and saw other men standing around the without any work. "Go work in my vineyard." At noon and three o'clock, he did the same thing. About five o'clock, he went out and found more men standing around. "Why have you stood around all day doing nothing?" the owner asked them. "Because no one has given us work, " they answered. Just before sunset, the businessman told the man in charge of the workers, "Call all the workers together and pay them. Begin with those hired last and finish with those hired first." They were all paid for a full day's work. They complained against the head of the household, saying, "These last (arrivals) worked one hour and you made equal to us, having borne the burden of the day and the blazing sun. Take your (pay) and leave. Jesus told this story to emphasize how the Kingdom differed from people's expectations. According to Jesus, the faithful, even those who practiced faith all life long, did not earn the Kingdom . The Father gave his children the Kingdom as a gift. Four images dominated the parable: the vineyard, the owner, the workers, and the pay.

Specifically, the upcoming UN Food Systems Summit, which will take place in New York, and which will be preceded by a pre-Summit in Rome between the 26th and 28th of July 2021, will focus on the need “to transform agricultural food systems so that they may become catalysts of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda; increasing resilience in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, strengthening local value chains, improving nutrition, educating producers on the re-use and recycling of resources so that food waste may be reduced, supplying healthy diets accessible to all, and being environmentally sustainable and respectful of local cultures”.1 Given that food security and nutrition are intricately linked to the impacts of climate change, the conservation of natural resources, ecosystems and agricultural production, the UN Secretary-General António Guterres, has affirmed that the upcoming Summit will focus on giving due recognition to the inextricable link that exists between food security, the climate crisis, and biodiversity.

To this, we may add, it is mercy that makes us human. Instead, in a group of migrat- ing animals if one stops because it is tired, sick, or crippled, the others do not wait for it, they do not care, they abandon it. This is unlike us human beings. At the moment when someone falls, something kicks in that is manifested in the soul and in action, that something is hu- man, yet more than human at the same time and that accords another direction, another di- mension on the chain of natural facts. It hap- pens that we stop to wait for the other. This hu- man — yet more than human “thing” —, is mercy: which shows man’s greater face; a divine face. On almost every page in the Gospels, we can find accounts of this face, the face of Christ, the true God and true man, who shows what men are like, like Him, even if they too often forget it.

  • Vatican Closes Museums, Beefs up Measures Over Coronavirus
    Vatican closes museums, beefs up measures over coronavirus The Vatican has instituted new measures and closures to help curb the spread of the coronavirus. In addition to urging employees to work from home if possible and providing family leave for workers with minors at home due to school closures, Pope Francis also was making some events – normally held outdoors with large crowds – closed to visitors, filmed indoors and broadcast online. The pope’s Wednesday general audience March 11, like the March 8 Sunday Angelus, was to be livestreamed on Vatican News and YouTube “to avoid the risk of spreading the COVID-19 (coronavirus),” especially given the crowding that occurs at the security checkpoints on entering the square. The Vatican also said that until March 15, the pope’s morning Masses at his residence would not be open to visitors but would be shown in their entirety online. The Italian government and Vatican City State health services have asked people throughout Italy to avoid large gatherings, particularly indoors, and to keep a yard’s distance between people in public in the hopes of slowing the spread of the virus. In fact, in photos of the pope’s private audience March 9 with nearly 30 bishops from France, who were in Rome on their “ad limina” visits, the prelates were seated far apart from one another and from the pope, and the audience was held in a large marbled hall of the apostolic palace, rather than the smaller, carpeted papal library. Following the lead of the Italian government, the Vatican also announced March 8 that the Vatican Museums, the necropolis under St.

  • Pope Appoints New Vatican Press Office Director
    Pope appoints new Vatican press office director VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Pope Francis appointed Matteo Bruni to serve as director of the Vatican press office, replacing Alessandro Gisotti, who had been serving as interim director since Dec. 31. The Vatican announced the appointment July 18. Bruni, 42, previously served as assistant to the director since 2013, helping organize and coordinate media presence and pools on papal trips. Born in Winchester, Great Britain, Bruni began working at the Vatican press office in 2009, coordinating accreditation for journalists. In 2016, during the Year of Mercy, he was appointed as coordinator of media operations for the Jubilee Year events. According to the Vatican, he also helps church-run projects dealing with “humanitarian cooperation and support programs for the elderly.” In an interview with Vatican News July 18, Bruni said he was honored by the appointment and saw it as a “sign of esteem not only for me as an individual, but also my history and work alongside my colleagues at the Holy See Press Office.” “The press office is not a large structure, but a complex one” with many different functions, he said. “I believe that knowing it from the inside can be useful in order to more deeply carry out the reform of the dicastery itself.” The Vatican also announced that the pope appointed Gisotti and Sergio Centofanti, an Italian journalist at Vatican News, as deputy editorial directors of the Dicastery for Communications. Both Gisotti and Centofanti will work with the dicastery’s editorial director, Andrea Tornielli. Bruni thanked Gisotti, whom he called “a colleague and a friend” and praised him for his “availability, professionalism and great human sensibility.” He also thanked former press director Greg Burke and vice director, Paloma Garcia Ovejero, for their work leading the press office.
