Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

Here are the readings for the Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time, October 2, 2011:

Isaiah 5: 1-7
Psalm 80: 9, 12-16, 19-20
Philippians 4: 6-9
Matthew 21: 33-43

Consider that this parable follows in Matthew's Gospel immediately after last week's story of the two sons, and Jesus' conversation with the chief priests and elders about how public sinners would enter God's kingdom before them. How do you think his audience was feeling by the end of today's passage? What do you think Jesus was feeling and thinking, that he told them these parables? What is the message for us, today?

This week in the Catechumenate session, we will have an introduction to Catholic Social Teaching.
