Ezekiel 18: 25-28
Psalm 25: 4-5, 8-10, 14
Philippians 2: 1-11
Matthew 21:28-32
This is one of those times when it is helpful to read more than just the Gospel selection. Earlier in this chapter of Matthew's Gospel, and the day before Jesus proposed this parable, he had triumphantly entered Jerusalem (think Palm Sunday) and drove the money-changers out of the temple. Now, the leaders of the Jews were questioning who gave him the authority to act and speak that way. So Jesus- in this week's Gospel and next, tells them parables to illustrate the dangers of being too proud or stubborn to respond to God, to change to repent, to admit that they just might not have all the answers.
For us today, it's a call to examine how well we are living as Catholic Christians, not just calling ourselves by that name.
There is no Catechumenate this Sunday.
