Observations for the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle A
Isaiah 55:6-9; Psalm 145; Philippians 1:20c-24, 27a; Matthew 20:1-16a
In this week’s Gospel, Jesus warns us by means of a Kingdom parable about the danger of envy. In the Catechism we read, “Envy is sadness at the sight of another’s goods and the immoderate desire to have them for oneself. It is a capital sin. The baptized person combats envy through good-will, humility, and abandonment to the providence of God.” (CCC 2553-2554).
How different that evening in the vineyard could have been, how rich and rewarding the fellowship of the workers could have become, if those who started first could have forsaken their wicked thoughts and turned to the Owner (the Lord) for mercy, to ask Him to teach them His higher ways, His way of generosity, mercy and grace. If only they could have recognized in the late-comers the same value they had by responding to the Owner’s invitation to work in His vineyard; if only they could have celebrated when they saw the late-comers being paid the same wage they received.
Of course, in the parable, they did not. But we have the opportunity today, to forsake envy, to practice generosity and charity, and to conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ.
*******
En el Evangelio de esta semana, Jesús nos advierte, mediante una parábola del Reino, sobre el peligro de la envidia. En el Catecismo leemos: «La envidia es la tristeza experimentada ante el bien del prójimo y el deseo desordenado de apropiárselo. Es un pecado capital. El bautizado combate la envidia mediante la caridad, la humildad y el abandono en la providencia de Dios.»
(CIC 2553-2554).
¡Qué diferente habría sido aquella tarde en la viña, y qué rica y gratificante habría resultado la comunión entre los trabajadores, si aquellos que comenzaron primero hubieran dejado de lado sus malos pensamientos y acudido al Dueño (el Señor) en busca de misericordia, para pedirle que les enseñara sus caminos más elevados: su camino de generosidad, misericordia y gracia! Si tan solo hubieran reconocido en los que llegaron tarde el mismo valor que ellos tenían al responder a la invitación del Dueño de trabajar en su viña; si tan solo hubieran celebrado al ver que a los recién llegados se les pagaba el mismo salario que ellos habían recibido.
Por supuesto, en la parábola no lo hicieron. Pero nosotros tenemos hoy la oportunidad de abandonar la envidia, de practicar la generosidad y la caridad, y de llevar una vida digna del Evangelio de Cristo.

Opening prayer of Novena to Our Lady of Sorrows: O, Mother most holy and sorrowful, Queen of Martyrs, you who stood by your Son as He agonized on the cross; by the sufferings of your life, by that sword of pain that pierced your heart, by your perfect joy in heaven, look down on me kindly as I kneel before you, sympathizing with your sorrows and offering you my petition with childlike trust. Dear Mother, since your Son refuses you nothing, ask of His Sacred Heart to mercifully grant what I ask, through the merits of His sacred passion, along with those of your sufferings at the foot of the cross. Mother most merciful, to whom shall I go in my misery if not to you who pities us poor, sinful exiles in this valley of tears? In our name, offer Jesus but one drop of His most precious blood, but one pang of His loving heart. Remind Him that you are our sweetness, our life, and our hope, and your prayer will be heard. Amen.


Rejoice in Hope – Your Pledge Card Matters
As we continue our Rejoice in Hope Capital Campaign to build a new Faith Formation Center for our children and youth, we ask every parishioner to please return your pledge card.
Knowing how many families are participating and what they are able to pledge helps us plan responsibly and determine how we can move forward with this important project.
Every pledge matters, regardless of the amount.
Most importantly, your participation shows our young people that our parish family believes in their faith and their future.
Please prayerfully consider your commitment and return your pledge card to the church office or place it in the offertory basket.
Together, with faith and hope, we can build a place
where generations of young people
will come to know, love, and serve Christ.

Saber cuántas familias están participando y cuánto pueden comprometerse nos ayuda a planificar responsablemente y a determinar cómo podemos seguir adelante con este importante proyecto.
Cada compromiso es importante, sin importar la cantidad.
Lo más importante es que su participación demuestra a nuestros jóvenes que nuestra familia parroquial cree en su fe y en su futuro.
Por favor, consideren en oración su compromiso y entreguen su tarjeta de compromiso en la oficina de la iglesia o colóquenla en la canasta de la colecta.

un lugar donde generaciones de jóvenes
puedan llegar a conocer, amar y servir a Cristo.
