Looking for Justice
Fr. Lawrence Mick
A cursory reading of
today’s scripture selections,
especially the first reading and the Gospel, might
lead one to conclude that
today’s focus should be on
vineyards and vineyard
workers or perhaps on the
shift from the Jewish era to
the Christian era.
A closer reading, however, points us toward issues
of justice. The first reading
concludes with these lines:
“He [the Lord] looked for
judgment, but see, bloodshed! for justice, but hark,
the outcry!” The parable in
the Gospel revolves around
justice for the owner and
his son — and the injustices perpetrated against
them. The second reading
from Philippians calls us
more broadly to focus our
thoughts on “whatever is
true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is just, whatever
is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is gracious.”
Each Sunday this month
offers us the opportunity
to address issues of justice,
which may be very appropriate in the month before elections in the United States.
There is a prudent concern
about dealing with political
issues in church. We should
always be careful not to
endorse any candidate or political party, even implicitly,
in a homily or prayer. But
this does not mean that we
should avoid all issues that
have political implications,
since that would leave us
virtually speechless. Every
aspect of life has a political
dimension and thus the
potential to upset someone
who holds a particular posi22 | OCTOBER 2014
tion. But we must address
issues of our time and link
our worship to the rest of
our lives.
Pope Francis has addressed a multitude of
issues that might be called
political, but he does not
embrace any one political
party. Issues of justice challenge every political party,
for no party is always right.
But the pope has not been
hesitant to speak prophetically about many areas of
injustice.
Planners might take some
time to list issues that confront Christians locally, nationally and globally. Then
look at the readings for the
month and decide which
issues link to the readings
each week. Consult with
those who work on social
justice awareness in the
parish to see what kinds
of joint efforts might be
planned to help the parish
both pray about and act on
these issues.
Planners might also
search online for speeches
of Pope Francis to find
quotes about these issues
that could be used to craft
an introduction to the Mass,
incorporated into the homily, become the basis for petitions and/or be printed in
the bulletin. The social doctrine of the Catholic church
has been called its best-kept
secret. Pope Francis seems
determined to change that,
and local parishes should
follow his example.
Note: This coming Saturday is the feast day of Pope
John XXIII. It’s a good day to
give thanks for the gifts of
the Second Vatican Council.
27th Sunday in Ordinary Time

INTRODUCTION
We focus today on the image of the vineyard: God’s
own people, loved, nurtured and cared for. But the
lovely image carries a warning. God expects fruits
from the vineyard — results from us. God wants us
to grow and flourish. Both our actions and our inactions have consequences. What are we doing to be the
fruitful people God wants?
PENITENTIAL ACT
Lord Jesus, you were sent to show us the depth of
God’s love for us: Lord, have mercy.
Christ Jesus, you were sent to show us what God’s
kingdom is like: Christ, have mercy.
Lord Jesus, you were sent to help us be fruitful and
productive people: Lord, have mercy.
SCRIPTURE READINGS
Isa 5:1-7 God’s vineyard is abandoned and ruined.
Psalm 80 (Isa 5:7a) The vineyard of the Lord is the
house of Israel.
Phil 4:6-9 Keep doing what you have learned, and
be at peace.
Matt 21:33-43 God expects his vineyard to produce.
PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL
Presider Brothers and sisters, on this Respect Life
Sunday, let us pray for all that we must be and do to
produce the fruits of God’s beloved kingdom.
Minister For the church, especially its leaders: that it
may carefully protect, nurture, support and teach us
all to grow the kingdom of God … we pray,
 For the leaders of our nation, our states and our
local communities: that they may promote policies
respecting the lives of every citizen and a healthy
environment for us and our children … we pray,
 For all whose lives are threatened: for immigrants;
prisoners on Death Row; the poor and marginalized;
victims of human trafficking, abortion, or violence
of any kind … we pray,
 For the capacity to see that all are welcome in
God’s kingdom, especially those we choose to ignore
or resent … we pray,
 During this month dedicated to Mary, we pray for
all the many ministries performed in her name, and
we look to her as a model and guide for fruitful living
… we pray,
 For the sick and needy among us, for those who
have died (names), and for all those we have pledged
to serve through our parish ministries ... we pray,
Presider Loving and nurturing God, we ask for the
courage and grace to accept our responsibilities as
fruitful people in your kingdom each day of our lives.
We pray in the name of Jesus, your beloved Son. Amen.

Feed the Hungry
Fr. Lawrence Mick
This Thursday, October
16, is designated as World
Food Day. It is celebrated
every year around the world
on this date in honor of the
founding of the Food and
Agriculture Organization
of the United Nations in
1945.
This observance can easily be linked to the readings
this weekend. Our first
reading says that “the Lord
of hosts will provide for all
peoples a feast of rich food
and choice wines, juicy,
rich food and pure, choice
wines.” Notice that God
does not limit the divine
bounty to certain people
but provides for all people.
The psalmist speaks of God
spreading a table for him.
In the second reading, Paul
says that he has learned the
secret of being well-fed and
of going hungry, of living in
abundance and of being in
need. And the Gospel parable describes the kingdom
of God as a wedding feast
that is attended, in the end,
by all those the servants
could find, “bad and good
alike.”
The ongoing problem of
hunger in the world stands
as a constant challenge to
those of us who have plenty
to eat. The effects of climate
change on food production
will likely make the problem even more severe in
the years ahead. As we see
food prices rising in our
own country, we need to
remember that this means
many will not be able to
afford enough food, both
here in North America and
around the world.
We gather at Eucharist
28th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Joan DeMerchant
to share a meal. It is a
simple meal, a meal that
one scholar has called a
“hungry meal” because
we share only a tiny bit
of bread and a sip of wine
each. This allows the rest of
our resources to be used to
help feed the hungry.
Planners might ask themselves whether this happens in the parish. Is there
any awareness that sharing the eucharistic meal
should lead us to feed the
hungry? Are parishioners
regularly invited to take
part in efforts to combat
hunger both at home and
abroad? If not, what can
be done to raise awareness
of the needs of the hungry
along with awareness of the
link between the Eucharist
and efforts to share the food
we have?
Here’s a link to Pope
Francis’ statement for
World Food Day last year:
www.zenit.org/en/articles/pope-francis-messagefor-world-food-day. All or
part of it might be included
in the bulletin today. You
could invite groups that
help feed the poor to have
displays at the church
entrance or at coffee and
donuts so that people can
make a commitment to aid
their efforts. Look for music
that speaks of our hunger
and God’s gifts of food. Craft
petitions that pray for those
in need and for those who
need to share more.

INTRODUCTION
We ponder the kingdom of heaven as a wedding
feast. God has great things prepared for those who are
invited into the kingdom. But not all those who are
invited accept the invitation. And some who accept
are not prepared to enter. God’s invitation is gracious
and open to all, but we must respond.
PENITENTIAL ACT
Lord Jesus, you are a sign of God’s great generosity: Lord, have mercy.
Christ Jesus, you call us to respond to God’s lavish
invitation: Christ, have mercy.
Lord Jesus, you help us to live in abundance and
in need: Lord, have mercy.
SCRIPTURE READINGS
Isa 25:6-10a The Lord will provide for all peoples.
Psalm 23 I shall live in the house of the Lord all the
days of my life.
Phil 4:12-14, 19-20 I can do all things in him who
strengthens me.
Matt 22:1-14 Many are invited, but few are chosen.
PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL
Presider My friends, let us pray for the church, the
world, our communities and our families: for all who
are invited to the great wedding feast.
Minister For the church across the world and for this
parish: that we may be a welcoming community to
all and a clear sign of abundant sharing … we pray,
 For all who govern across the world, in our country,
and in our local communities: that they may be empowered to imagine great possibilities for all people,
especially those in need … we pray,
 For all who are called to the eucharistic banquet:
that they may be inspired to respond in gratitude and
hope … we pray,
 For those who have never experienced abundance:
for the hungry, the homeless, the unemployed or underemployed, those without adequate health care or
education, those who do not feel invited … we pray,
 For those who make it possible for the needy to
share in the abundance of others: for food pantries
and food banks, soup kitchens, corporate donors and
generous individuals … we pray,
 For the sick, the dying and those who have died
(names), and for those who love them … we pray,
Presider Generous and loving God, we approach you
with our many needs, knowing that your heart and
arms are open to us in constant invitation. Give us
the grace to respond freely and to reflect your openness and abundance to others. We pray in the name
of Jesus, who reflects your glorious riches. Amen.

Mission Sunday
Fr. Lawrence Mick
As usual, this third Sunday of October is designated
as Mission Sunday around
the world. The theme for
2014 is “I Will Build My
Church,” and materials for
promoting this observance
can be found online at www.
onefamilyinmission.org/
society-propfaith/worldmission-sunday.html.
The readings this Sunday mesh with the theme
of mission rather easily.
The first reading speaks of
Cyrus as God’s instrument.
Cyrus was not a Jew; he
was a nonbeliever, but God
still worked through him.
That’s an insight that most
missioners embrace today
— that God works among
all people, and missioners
need to discover and lift up
what God is already doing
in the lives of those to whom
they are sent.
The responsorial psalm
clearly supports a global
view: “Sing to the Lord a
new song; sing to the Lord,
all you lands. Tell his glory
among the nations; among
all peoples, his wondrous
deeds. … Give to the Lord,
you families of nations,
give to the Lord glory and
praise.”
In the second reading,
Paul encourages a church
where he had preached the
Gospel, an example of early
mission work. “For our
gospel did not come to you
in word alone, but also in
power and in the Holy Spirit
and with much conviction.”
These texts can provide
plenty of phrases and images around which to create
petitions for the general
intercessions. This is a good
24 | OCTOBER 2014
day to celebrate the global
identity of the church,
which continues to be a
challenge for many Catholics in North America. We
tend to be somewhat insular
and focused on our own
neighborhoods or cities. To
be Catholic should mean to
have a universal view and
a universal care for all our
brothers and sisters around
the world.
God and Caesar: The
Gospel today does not relate
very directly to the mission
theme, but it raises the issue of the relation between
church and state, between
religion and politics. It is
important to note that Jesus
is not suggesting that the
realms of God and Caesar
are separate. After all, everything belongs to God,
including what belongs to
Caesar. Our faith should
influence our values for
all of life and thus should
influence how we vote and
operate in the political
sphere. This could be a
good week to call people
to a global awareness as
they prepare to vote. As a
nation blessed with great
wealth and resources, we
have a moral obligation to
care for the less fortunate
around the world. And
climate change, which can
rightly be called our greatest right-to-life issue today,
is a global problem that
requires global solutions.
Note: Thursday is the
date for the memorial for
Pope St. John Paul II, who
also called us to bring our
faith to bear on all areas
of life.
29th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Joan DeMerchant
INTRODUCTION
God rules history and can even use legitimate authority and hierarchical systems that benefit others,
as the Emperor Cyrus rebuilt ancient Israel coming
out of captivity. We acknowledge that we are members
of a civil society governed by authority deserving
of its just due. But, as Christians, we are bound by a
higher authority, one that calls us to love of God and
love of neighbor.
PENITENTIAL ACT
Lord Jesus, you gave glory to God in all your words
and actions: Lord, have mercy.
Christ Jesus, you teach us to be aware of the world
in which we live: Christ, have mercy.
Lord Jesus, you empower us to be a discerning
people: Lord, have mercy.
SCRIPTURE READINGS
Isa 45:1, 4-6 I am the Lord and there is no other.
Psalm 96 Give the Lord glory and honor.
1 Thess 1:1-5b The Gospel does not come to us in
word alone.
Matt 22:15-21 Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar
and to God what belongs to God.
PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL
Presider Brothers and sisters, as members of both
the church and society, let us pray for clear vision
and the wisdom to live with integrity and gratitude.
Minister For those with legitimate authority in the
church, the military and government, in civil institutions and in families: for the wisdom to discern the
common good under an even higher power … we pray,
 For the humility to support and follow leaders who
serve the common good; and for the courage to challenge the abuse of power, whatever the cost … we pray,
 For those who suffer under corrupt leaders, especially those who feel powerless or disenfranchised; and
for those who do not know how to exercise authority
with justice and love … we pray,
 For wisdom, patience and civility as we approach
the November elections, remembering that even
those with differing views are committed to serving
others … we pray,
 For the ability to teach our children respect for legitimate authority and love of God above all … we pray,
 For all who are in need; for the sick and suffering;
and for those who have died (names) … we pray,
Presider Loving God, you care for your people through
those who lead us. Hear the prayers we lay before you,
and give us the power to discern each day what we owe
to them and to you. We pray in the name of your Son,
Jesus, who teaches us to honor you above all. Amen.

You Were Once Aliens Yourselves
Fr. Lawrence Mick
What an appropriate line
for most of us in North
America! Like the Israelites
of old, we may need to be
reminded that our ancestors were once immigrants
to our country and that they
faced much discrimination
and hatred as they sought
to become citizens in a new
land. What does this passage say to a country whose
immigration policies are
judged by our bishops to be
unjust and broken?
The line comes, of course,
from our first reading
from the Book of Exodus.
Remembering their own
status as descendants of
immigrants is presented as
the motivation for treating
newer immigrants (aliens)
with compassion and kindness.
The passage goes on to
call for just treatment of
any who are poor, especially when it comes to
lending money. “If you take
your neighbor’s cloak as
a pledge, you shall return
it to him before sunset;
for this cloak of his is the
only covering he has for
his body. What else has he
to sleep in? If he cries out
to me, I will hear him; for I
am compassionate.” How
do those lines resonate as
people are still losing their
homes to foreclosure across
the land?
Have you ever wondered
why most people can hear
the scriptures week after
week and not recognize
the connections with our
contemporary issues? One
reason may be that we tend
to assume that the Bible is
ancient history, so we don’t
30th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Joan DeMerchant
expect it to speak to modern
questions. Another may be
that the language of the
Bible is not quite the same
as today, so the verbal cues
are not always obvious.
And another may be that
we assume that liturgy does
not really connect with our
daily lives.
It is the task of preachers
and planners to help people
make the connections. One
reason people may not see
the links is that we tend
to avoid preaching and
catechesis that lifts up the
issues because we are afraid
of backlash if we suggest
that some economic and political and social positions
are not in accord with biblical values. It takes courage
to speak a prophetic word in
any era, but the alternative
is irrelevant religion.
So consider how you can
lift up immigration and the
foreclosure crisis for awareness and prayer. Consider
the homily, the intercessions and the bulletin as
places to focus on these concerns. Look for songs that
speak of the call to justice
and concern for the poor.
Coordinate with the parish
social justice committee to
make information on these
topics available after Mass.
Note: In most of the country, Daylight Saving Time
ends next Sunday. Remind
folks to turn back their
clocks and get an extra hour
to sleep or use it to prepare
for Mass.

INTRODUCTION
God has expectations of us. God directed ancient
Israel to care for the weak and defenseless, because
God is a God of compassion. All law is summed up in
the great commandments to love God above all and
one’s neighbor as oneself. The commandment to love
seems simple, but it is the hardest of all to live out.
PENITENTIAL ACT
Lord Jesus, you show us the living face of a compassionate God: Lord, have mercy.
Christ Jesus, you show us how to love God with all
our being: Christ, have mercy.
Lord Jesus, you show us how to love our neighbors
as ourselves: Lord, have mercy.
SCRIPTURE READINGS
Exod 22:20-26 God is compassionate to all.
Psalm 18 I love you, Lord, my strength.
1 Thess 1:5c-10 Be imitators of Paul and of the Lord.
Matt 22:34-40 You shall love the Lord, your God …
and your neighbor as yourself.
PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL
Presider Let us pray for the needs of the world and for
the grace to be models of the great commandments.
Minister That we and Christians everywhere may be
constant witnesses to the beauty and power of the
great commandments … we pray,
 For peacemakers, especially in the war-torn areas
of the world; for all who live in the path of war or
violence … we pray,
 For those living as aliens: refugees on the move
or in camps; undocumented immigrants, especially
children; those who do not look, speak or act like us
… we pray,
 For the conversion of those who take advantage
of others, who extort, lie or cheat; and for reforms in
industries that place heavy burdens on the poor and
vulnerable … we pray,
 For individuals and programs that clearly embody
the great commandments: those that demonstrate
care for the needy or focus on helping people to love
and respect themselves … we pray,
 For those of us who struggle with self-care: for those
who overwork, overeat or overindulge, or who ignore
our physical or mental health … we pray,
 For the poor, the sick and the dying; for those who
have died (names) and those who grieve … we pray,
Presider Gracious God, you have always heard those
who cry out to you. Hear our concerns and teach
us how to love ourselves, one another and you. We
pray in the name of Jesus, who delivers us from all
harm. Amen.
