Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time October 8, 2017 The vineyard appears as a symbol of the house of Israel in both the first reading and the Gospel today. The symbol represents the disobedience of a people that was called to live a covenant relationship with God and that, despite the warnings of the prophets, abandoned it. Jesus shares a parable with his audience about messengers sent as prophets to warn the people of their wrongdoing, who were tortured and killed throughout their history. Saint Matthew emphasizes that the last messenger, the heir to the vineyard, suffers the same death and compares the subject of the parable to Jesus, who suffered and died for all, At times, we fail to Appreciate the great treasure of Christ’s grace and the experience of his encounter with us in the sacramental life of the Church. How can we maintain the joy of our faith and the spirit of loving in our daily lives? Vigésimo Séptimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 8 de octubre de 2017 El símbolo de la viña como la casa de Israel aparece en la primera lectura y en el Evangelio de hoy. Es un símbolo que señala la desobediencia de un pueblo que fue llamado a vivir la Alianza con Dios y que, a pesar de la advertencias de los profetas, se alejó de ella. La parábola de Jesús relata cómo mensajeros que el pueblo recibió como profetas a través de su historia fueron eliminados gradualmente. San Mateo hace énfasis en el desenlace del ultimo mensajero, el heredero del viñedo, quien sufre la misma muerte que los otros. El evangelista lo identifica con Jesús mismo en su entrega por todos en la cruz. Muchas veces nosotros caemos en la rutina diaria o semanal que no nos permite apreciar el tesoro de la fe y de la Iglesia. ¿De qué manera podemos mantener la alegría de la fe y el espíritu de amor en nuestra vida cotdiana?
