He came to the first and said, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’He said in reply, ‘I will not,’ but afterwards he changed his mind and went." Matthew 21:28-29bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/21…… TWENTY-SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (Oct. 1st) – CYCLE AThis is a #liturgical Bible Study written by Deacon Ken and Marie Finn the founders of our Prison Ministry. It follows the Sunday readings with questions and commentary to help prepare us for Mass. …… Individual Lessons are available for Download.View and print the Free Bible Study Lessons here:stdismasguild.org/twenty-sixth-sunday-in-ordinary-time-oct-1st-cycle-a/……Meditate on Deacon Ken’s COMMENTARY for this Sunday’s Gospel reading from; MATTHEW 21:28-32The way we live our lives is truly what we profess to belie­ve. The way we treat others is truly the way we profess our faith in God. Scripture tells us that if we say we love God and hate our brother, then we are liars.The parable of the two sons strikes at the very heart of what is wrong in today’s society. Many people pretend that they are following Christ. They say it and even sing it in some songs, but their lives do not prove it. The Pharisees gave the impres­sion that they were very obedient to God’s will by keeping all the external signs of their religion. We have that today in our society. We have those who make great financial contributions but live with their own set of values. We can fool others about our inner intentions, but it is dangerous to pretend to obey God when our hearts are distant from HIM. God knows the inten­tions of our hearts. Our actions must always match our words.In today’s Gospel passage we see the first son say, “no,” then regrets his action and becomes obedient to his father. True repentance means being sorry for our sins and to change our behavior. Paul tells us that occasionally God uses sorrow in our lives to help us turn away from selfishness and to come back to God. Compare Peter’s remorse and repentance with Judas’ bitterness. Both of these men denied Christ. One repented and was restored to faith and service. The other ended with his life in disgrace.Let us, as Jesus did, be obedient and humble in our relation­ships with others (Phil. 2:2-11). Jesus calls us to love one another as HE has loved us (John 13:34). HE also tells us that HE will abide in us if we keep HIS commandments (John 15:7). Jesus gave us HIS two greatest commandments, “Love your God with all your heart, mind and spirit, and love your neighbor as yourself.” We can do this only when we are obedient to God’s word. Remember, we are all sinners and we are saved only by God’s grace and not by our own deeds.…… To Purchase a Bread of Life Catholic Bible Study workbook - Cycle A, send an Email to [email protected] or Call our office @ 760-466-7001.
