REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD
Sunday Gospel: Matthew 21: 28-32
RIFLETTERE SULLA PAROLA DI DIO
Vangelo della Domenica: Matteo 21: 28-32
In The Secret Life of Bees, August, an older black woman, is
talking about “the problem with people” to Lily, a younger
white woman who has run away from an abusive father. Lily
has said that people don’t really know what matters. But
August says the deeper problem is that people do know what
matters, but don’t choose it. God tells Ezekiel that virtue’s
proof is in choosing to do the right thing. What you choose to
do matters. So be careful not to go off the right path at the end
of your days. On the other hand, you might be off the right
path for years, but end up hopping back on at the very end,
and you will have life. It doesn’t sound very fair; nevertheless,
it’s where you are when the end comes that counts. And you
don’t know when the end will come. Jesus confronts the
religious leaders with a parable. A father asks his two sons to
do some work in the vineyard. One talks a good game but
never makes it into the field; the other refuses outright, but
then goes and does what his father asked. In telling this
parable, Jesus compares these leaders unfavorably to the tax
collectors and prostitutes. The elders must have been shocked.
“Have in you that same attitude that is also in Christ Jesus,”
writes Paul to his beloved Philippians. The attitude he urged
on them was giving oneself for the sake of others—even unto
death. In this way, we not only speak but also do “Yes.”
Choose to live Christ.
La liturgia di oggi ci insegna che per Dio la giustizia non è
l’opposto della misericordia; al contrario: Dio è giusto proprio
perché è misericordioso!
La mentalità divina, però, stride spesso con la nostra giustizia
tutta fondata sul calcolo, sull’egoismo e sul tornaconto.
Dio ama perché ama e non per ricevere qualcosa in cambio, ed
è pronto sempre ad accogliere il peccatore che ritorna a Lui
con tutto il cuore indipendentemente dall’”ora” del suo
ritorno.
Questo viene chiesto anche a noi cristiani, avere, cioè, in noi
gli stessi sentimenti che furono in Cristo Gesù: saper
perseverare nel servizio al bene ed amare il prossimo non per
ricevere il contraccambio, ma con quella gratuità tipica di chi
ama sinceramente. «Non fate nulla per rivalità o vanagloria,
ma ciascuno di voi, con tutta umiltà, consideri gli altri
superiori a se stesso. Ciascuno non cerchi l’interesse proprio,
ma anche quello degli altri.»
Living God’s Words
Vivere la parola Di Dio
La Bibbia essendo stata ispirata da Dio ed essendo "
Parola di Dio "è sicura, è certa, non può mai errare
perché è divina, perché in essa parla il Signore che è
perfetto ed infallibile.
In the Our Father we pray that God will not lead us
into temptation but deliver us from evil. We pray that
we will be obedient to the Father’s will to the point of
death so that we will be raised into eternal life and
join in the song of exaltation, confessing Jesus Christ
as Lord.

REFLEXIONEMOS LA PALABRA DE DIOS
Evangelio del Domingo: Mateo 21: 28-32
En la novela “La vida secreta de las abejas” una mujer negra
y ya anciana de nombre August habla sobre “el problema de la
gente” con Lily, una mujer blanca más joven que se ha
escapado de su padre abusivo. Lily dice que la gente no sabe
lo que es importante en realidad; pero August dice que un
problema aún mayor es que la gente sí sabe lo que es
importante, pero eligen no hacerlo. Dios le dice a Ezequiel que
la virtud se prueba al elegir hacer lo correcto. Lo que eliges
hacer es importante. Así es que cuidado con salirte del camino
correcto al final de tus días. Por otra parte, pudieras estar por
el camino equivocado durante años y dar un salto de vuelta al
camino correcto y así encontrar la vida. No parece muy justo;
así y todo, lo que cuenta es dónde estés al llegar el final. Y no
sabes cuándo ese final llegará.
Jesús confronta a los líderes religiosos con una parábola. El
padre le pide a sus dos hijos que hagan un trabajo en la viña.
Uno dice que está dispuesto, pero nunca llega a hacerlo; el
otro se niega al instante, pero después va y hace lo que el
padre le ha pedido. Al contar esta parábola Jesús compara a
esos líderes religiosos desfavorablemente con los recaudadores
de impuestos y las prostitutas. Los ancianos debieron haberse
quedado estupefactos.
