Second Reading: Philippians 4: 6-9
Holy Gospel: Matthew 21: 33-43
Holy Gospel:
33 Listen to another example: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a fence around it, dug a hole for the winepress, built a watchtower, leased the vineyard to tenants and then went to a distant country. 34 When harvest time came, the landowner sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the harvest. 35 But the tenants seized his servants, beat one, killed another and stoned another.
36 Again the owner sent more servants, but they were treated in the same way.
37 Finally, he sent his son, thinking: ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But when the tenants saw the son, they thought: ‘This is the one who is to inherit the vineyard. Let us kill him and his inheritance will be ours.’ 39 So they seized him, threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 Now, what will the owner of the vineyard do with the tenants when he comes?” 41 They said to him, “He will bring those evil to an evil end, and lease the vineyard to others who will pay him in due time.”
42 And Jesus replied, “Have you never read what the Scriptures say? The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This was the Lord’s doing; and we marvel at it. 43 Therefore I say to you: the kingdom of heaven will be taken from you and given to a people who will yield a harvest.
Second Reading:
6 Do not be anxious about anything. In everything resort to prayer and supplication together with thanksgiving and bring your requests before God. 7 Then the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, fill your minds with whatever is truthful, holy, just, pure, lovely and noble. Be mindful of whatever deserves praise and admiration. 9 Put into practice what you have learned from me, what I passed on to you, what you heard from me or saw me doing, and the God of peace will be with you.
First Reading:
1 Let me sing for my beloved
the love song of my beloved
about his vineyard.
My beloved had a vineyard
on a fertile hillside.
2 He dug it up, cleared the stones,
and planted the choicest vines.
He built there a watchtower
and hewed out a winepress as well.
Then he looked
for a crop of good grapes,
but it yielded only wild grapes.
3 Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and people of Judah,
judge between me and my vineyard.
4 What more was there to do
that I have not done for my vineyard?
Good grapes was the yield I expected,
why did it yield only sour grapes?
5 Now I will let you know
what I am going to do
with my vineyard:
I will remove its hedge
and it will be burned;
I will break down its wall
and it will be trampled on.
6 I will make it a wasteland,
I will neither prune nor hoe it,
and briers and thorns will grow there.
I command the clouds, as well,
not to send rain on it.
7 The vineyard of Yahweh Sabaoth
is the people of Israel,
and the people of Judah
are his pleasant vine.
He looked for justice,
but found bloodshed;
He looked for righteousness
but heard cries of distress.
Responsorial Psalm:
9 You had a vine you brought from Egypt. You drove nations out, to plant it in their land.
12 its branches reached out to the sea and its shoots to the River.
13 Why, then, have you broken down its walls, so that all who pass by pluck its fruits?
14 The beasts of the forest ravage it and all creatures of the field feed on it.
15 Turn again, O Lord of hosts, look down from heaven and see; care for this vine, 16 and protect the stock your hand has planted.
