Catechism of the Catholic Church

560 Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem manifested the coming of the kingdom that the King-Messiah was going to accomplish by the Passover of his Death and Resurrection. It is with the celebration of that entry on Palm Sunday that the Church’s liturgy solemnly opens Holy Week.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 22:8-9, 17-18, 19-20, 23-24

 

R. (2a) My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

All who see me scoff at me;

they mock me with parted lips, they wag their heads:

“He relied on the LORD; let him deliver him,

let him rescue him, if he loves him.”

R. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

Indeed, many dogs surround me,

a pack of evildoers closes in upon me;

They have pierced my hands and my feet;

I can count all my bones.

R. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

They divide my garments among them,

and for my vesture they cast lots.

But you, O LORD, be not far from me;

O my help, hasten to aid me.

R. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

I will proclaim your name to my brethren;

in the midst of the assembly I will praise you:

“You who fear the LORD, praise him;

all you descendants of Jacob, give glory to him;

revere him, all you descendants of Israel!”

R. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

A Homily by Fr. Robert Altier   Palm Sunday March 20, 2005

Reading I (Isaiah 50:4-7)    Psalm 22, Reading II (Philippians 2:6-11)

Gospel (St. Matthew 26:14-27:66)

In the Gospel reading that we just heard, Our Lord spoke on two occasions, saying, This is the way it has to be in order to fulfill the prophets. This is a very important statement because Jesus Christ came to fulfill completely the law and the prophets. God says through the prophet Amos that He will do nothing in this world without first telling us through His servants the prophets. Therefore, what we can do is search the Scriptures and we can find all the various prophecies regarding the Messiah. We will see that God never said that He would send Mohammed or Buddha (or anyone else, for that matter), but He did say that He would send His own Son. The Second Psalm, for instance, says, You are My son, this day I have begotten you.

When we look at the Old Testament, the Jewish rabbis had gone through with a fine-tooth comb and they had realized that there were 350 specific prophecies regarding the Messiah, 350 different things that needed to be fulfilled. Some of them could be fulfilled by any number of people. He had to be born in Bethlehem. Well, there were lots of boys born in Bethlehem over the years. He had to ride into Jerusalem on a donkey. Well, there were thousands of men who rode into Jerusalem on donkeys. But there were lots of other things. He had to be born of a virgin. There is only one Person in human history Who has fulfilled that. He would have to be crucified.

When we look at Psalm 22, which is what we heard in the Responsorial Psalm today, this is a psalm of prophecy. It is a prayer. It is a most amazing thing because one has to wonder what King David had seen or endured 1,000 years before Jesus came, because in Psalm 22 he talks about how they have put holes in my hands and my feet; I can number all my bones; they cast lots for my vesture; they wag their heads and laugh. You read down Psalm 22 and you begin to see that this is not a cry of a man who is despairing on the cross, which is what so many people seem to think when they hear those words: My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? That is the first line of the Twenty-second Psalm. It is not a cry of despair; it is a prayer. It is Our Lord’s way of showing us that what is happening to Him is the fulfillment of what had been spoken.

And so in all 350 things, we see the fulfillment in Jesus Christ. There is no one else in human history who has even come close to fulfilling all of these things. There is only one Person in human history Who has fulfilled every last one of them, right to the point of Zechariah saying, They will look upon him whom they have pierced through, and they will mourn over him as one mourns for an only son. This is, again, exactly what we see.

It is also quite interesting to hear in the Gospel reading the words of the high priest, the words which are placed upon the lips of the people today, speaking as the high priest and the Pharisees, and in essence quoting almost word for word what we read in the Book of Wisdom in the second chapter when they tell him, If you are God’s son, come down from that cross. Recall what they said in the Book of Wisdom that this is what these evil people thought, thinking not aright: Let us condemn the just man to a shameful death. Let us have proof of his goodness and his meekness, for if God is his Father, as he claims, God will save him. Well, they were thinking not aright. They looked at Jesus upon the Cross and they said, Come down from that cross and then we will believe in you! Our Lord, on the other hand, stayed upon the Cross so that we could believe in Him. Nowhere was it ever prophesied that the Messiah would come down from His cross, but it was prophesied very clearly that He would have to be crucified with holes in His hands and His feet, and that He would be put to death – and put to a shameful death.

But it is very interesting that the Church gives to us the reading from the prophet Isaiah, one of the Suffering Servant songs. We hear about how He gave His face to those who spit upon Him, His beard to those who would pluck it, and His back to those who would beat Him. At the end of the reading it says, But the Lord God is my help, therefore I am not ashamed. And knowing, it says, that He would not be put to shame, He turned His face like flint. We condemned Him to the most shameful, inhuman sorts of things that we could think of, but He was not put to shame because He was doing the Will of His heavenly Father.

As we heard in the second reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Philippians, Jesus humbled Himself. He humbled Himself so far that it was not enough for Him to be conceived in the womb of a human woman, it was not enough for Him to be a tiny helpless human baby who was dependent on His mother, it was not enough for Him to live a life of poverty and to be ridiculed throughout His entire life, but, as Saint Paul tells us, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even to death on a cross. That is the humility of Almighty God Who has come to us to teach us what love is.

And so it is only by looking at the Cross and by looking upon Him on the Cross that we have salvation. There is only one means to salvation, and that is the Cross of Jesus Christ. Unlike the chief priest and the Pharisees who said, Come down from that cross and we will believe, we must be like Our Lady and Saint John who stood at the foot of the Cross right where the chief priest and the scribes were as well. They believed because He fulfilled the Scriptures and did not come down from that cross.

The Cross, as Saint Paul tells the Corinthians, is a stumbling block to the Jews and it is foolishness to the Greeks. It is a scandal to those who do not believe, but he says: For those who believe, it is the wisdom of God and it is the power of God. Saint Paul had determined that he would preach nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The Cross of Christ is our only hope – there is nothing else. Search the world and you will find nothing that will bring you to heaven except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Search the Scriptures and you will find nothing that is going to bring salvation to your soul except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

How grateful we must be that He did not come down from the Cross. And how in our hearts we have to look at Him Who had been condemned to a shameful death and see that He is not ashamed, but rather that He is exalted because of His humility, that He is brought into the fullness of heaven and brings to the fullness of life all of those who will follow Him to the Cross in what is not in the least bit shameful but is a perfect act of love.

So the Church asks us now in this final week, in this most holy of all weeks as we prepare ourselves for the celebration of Easter, that we will enter with Our Lord into His Passion, that we will meditate upon these things that we have just read in the Gospels, that we will look at the prophecies. Read Isaiah 52 and 53, read the Suffering Servant Songs, read Psalm 22, read Psalm 69; see the things that were there that were prophesied thousands of years before Jesus came, and see their fulfillment in Him. Do not wish that He would come down from the Cross in order to believe, but rather be like Mary and John; stand at the foot of His Cross and – precisely because He did not come down from the Cross – believe, and know that there is no other means of salvation than the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Please walk with me and together we shall climb the road to Calvary.

Please walk with me and together we shall climb the road to Calvary.

 

Transcription Notes Our Blessed Mother Mary  4/2 Friday 8:15am msg. #1723

http://littlemary.excerptsofinri.com/

 

My daughter, in all that you do, remember Jesus’ suffering. In this you will find consolation. Jesus suffered for each of you because of His love and mercy for you. So reflect today on Jesus’ passion and you will find strength. All who are close to Heaven will suffer, just as my son. For God purifies and chastises all those He loves. God uses those who are willing, to make the truth known. Those who speak the truth and are willing to carry their cross will be persecuted by those who refuse to come to know Jesus. It is through suffering and humility that one is led closer to Christ, so be willing, dear children, to do all that you can to save souls.

 

Be courageous not fearful. Be willing to make the gospel known. Be willing to do what is right and not be like everyone else, for then you will become more like us. Be willing to suffer and believe with your whole heart that God knows how much each of you can endure. Do not become angry when trials come your way. By accepting each new cross, then joy and peace will not leave you. Without joy and love in your heart, others will not see Christ in you. … Much will remain a mystery to you and at times it will be hard to accept your cross. But you will be shown in time and what you must believe is that one day you will be free of all pain and suffering. Without total faith in God… Without total belief in God you will not be able to bear each new cross. Without trust and confidence in our Lord… So believe dear children, that God knows what is best for your soul. Believe so you do not doubt in God’s love for you. Believe so your heart stays open to what ever it is that God is asking you. Believe so that you do not question God when all is not going your way. Those who are weak will not understand what God is asking of them. They cannot understand because they do not spend the time needed to come to know Jesus.

 

Many today are relying on themselves instead of allowing God to be in control. Many are unwilling to pick up their cross because they do not want to suffer. Many today are choosing the easier road because they do not want to give up their selfish desires. Many are giving in to sin because they are refusing God’s grace. True happiness is only given to those who are living their lives for Christ, to those who are willing to carry their cross.

 

My children, I want each of you to be happy, but this will only happen if you spend time with Jesus. This will only happen if you pray and accept each new cross. It will only happen if you do the Fathers Will and accept God’s love and mercy for you. This will only happen if you obey all God’s commandments. Sin will cause turmoil in your life. Sin will eventually cause you much pain. Sin is what will separate you from God. Sin will cause you to be weak in all areas of your life because when you sin, you are refusing God’s help and grace. … Today I ask that you meditate on our Lord’s passion. I ask that you never forget what happened on Calvary. I ask you to look at Jesus’ wounds so you will understand and see how much pain He endured for each of you. I ask that you give up your pleasure today and spend time kneeling before the crucifix, for through this you will feel and understand God’s love for you. … You will become more accepting of each new cross you must bear if you meditate on our Lord’s passion.

 

Today I want each of you to truly know how much God loves you. I want you to be truly sorry for your sins. I want each of you to say yes to God, instead of refusing to carry your cross. I want the best for all my children but it will take effort on your part. It will take a prayerful life and willingness… … It will take a change of heart and true devotion to Christ. It will take commitment and discipline to be loyal to serve Christ. It will take total trust and belief in God. If you want true happiness then please take my hand now. Please allow me to assist you for then it will be easier for you. I will shower you with my grace. I will protect you and I will give you the encouragement you need. I will remind you just as any good mother would do. So, please accept my hand. In time, I will lead you closer to Christ. … In time, true happiness will then be given to you and nothing else on this earth will matter to you. For God will dwell in each child who believes and who turns away from sin.

 

 

My heart is open, so please accept my love for you. Please allow me to assist you. Please walk with me and together we shall climb the road to Calvary. … I am here for each of you. Now take time to ask God to show you how you can help heal Jesus’ wounds. Ask God and you will be given strength to do what truly pleases God. Amen.

 

 

 

The Carrying of the Cross – Fr. Robert J. Fox – Marian Manuel

http://www.fatimafamily.org/

 

Did the fallen evil angels know, as Jesus is presented the wood of the Cross, that it would be the very altar upon which He would redeem the world? If they did know, their hatred and pride with which they influenced men to reject Jesus did not stop them. How could it? In their intellectual pride at the time of their own trial when they foresaw all the consequences of their revolt, they still went ahead. In the heavens they fought St. Michael the Archangel and the good holy angels. The knowledge of what their decision would bring did not deter them from rejecting God.

 

Any sin of man is terrible, large or small. Mortal sin in which man dies unrepentant will lead him to hell for all eternity. It is for this the evil angels work. The good holy angels however, work to lead people to faith in the Blessed Trinity, to faith and love in Jesus Christ, to faith and love for His Church and the Mother of the Church.

 

The intellect of man was never as great as that of the angels. That is why God’s mercy is lavished abundantly upon man so that he can sin repeatedly and repent and the good holy angels rejoice. Man does not see all the consequences of his sin as did the angels at their trial.

 

How the holy angels rejoice at any human person who repents after sinning! To see the mercy of God bestowed upon a human being is their joy. Jesus said, “I say to you that, even so, there will be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety-nine just who have no need of repentance”

 

(Lk. 15:7). Christ repeated the thought again. “Even so, I say to you, there will be joy among the angels of God over one sinner who repents” (Lk. 15:10).

 

While the devils of hell are intensely active in stirring up hatred among the soldiers and Pharisees who line the streets as Jesus carries the heavy Cross in the direction of Calvary, the good holy angels marvel at such infinite mercy of their God become man who permits all this and endures all this for sinful creatures whom He loves even unto death on the Cross.

 

As Jesus falls under the weight of the Cross, under the weight of mankind’s sins, we can see the good holy angels interceding for His human strength to rise again, just as the Angel in the garden gave Him human strength.

 

 

Excerpts of Mary the Co-Sufferer – Excerpts by Professor Courtenay Bartholomew, M.D.   March 21 2009 

http://www.motherofallpeoples.com/articles/marian-private-revelation/mary-the-co-sufferer.html

 

Close to his death, he made his last will and testament and bequeathed his mother to be our mother also, our spiritual mother. “Woman, behold your son … Behold your mother,” he said first to his mother and then to John (John 19:26-27). “Woman, behold your son,” he said to her. He was obviously referring to her as the “woman” first spoken of in Genesis 3:15: “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; she will crush your head ” Indeed, it was on this hill called Calvary that this verse in Genesis was fulfilled. The word Calvary is from the Latin word Calvaria, meaning skull. The hill was also called Golgatha, the Hebrew word from the Greek Kranion, a skull. The Cross of the Redeemer was firmly crushed into the ground. And so, the “skull” was “crushed” by the man on the Cross, the Redeemer (“her seed”), and beneath that rugged Cross was the Co-redemptrix (not co-equal); one suffering woman, suffering with God who in turn was suffering for mankind and from them. Redemption begun at the Annunciation was completed on Calvary. It was 3:00 p.m. on a Friday.

 

But do we really understand and appreciate what it means to be “at the foot of the Cross” for three hours? Hers was the most spiritual, the most intense and incomparable suffering ever known; one solitary creature suffering with God, who in turn was suffering for all mankind and from them. She was a martyr whom God preserved from dying! That was the meaning of being the second Eve. That was the price of being Co-redemptrix, for from the very beginning of Creation she was thus chosen. But it was as though God had predetermined that one had to be a “Mary” to have the privilege of standing beneath the Cross. John speaks of that congregation: “Standing by the cross were his mother (Mary), and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene” (Jn 19:25).

 

Redemption had to come from suffering, and so, he needed a body to suffer. His mother gave him that body. No human father was involved in that conception. “You who wanted no sacrifice or oblation, prepared a body for me” (Heb 10:5). On that joyous day when he was born she wrapped his tiny body in swaddling clothes and placed him in his crib (Lk 2:12). But on that Friday at the foot of the Cross, 33 years later, she received a body, tattered and torn and swaddled with blood as he took upon himself the sins of the world. It was not a pretty sight but neither is sin in the eyes of God! It was the blood of the new and everlasting covenant which was shed for all so that sins may be forgiven.

 

Her suffering too was minimized. Words cannot fully describe and adequately measure Mary’s anguish on that day. Perhaps it can be appreciated somewhat better if every mother were to contemplate her own son on the cross in place of the son of Mary. Yet, if there were a thousand such mothers standing at the feet of a thousand crosses bearing their thousand crucified sons, the sum total of their anguish could not in any way equate the pain and suffering of that Mother of Sorrows on that hill on that Friday that some men call “Good.” She too was being crucified!

 

So said, in 1373, Lady Julian of Norwich, in her book Revelations of Divine Love, which records her privileged visions from God, says of Mary: “I saw part of the love and suffering of Our Lady Saint Mary, for she and Christ were so joined in love that the greatness of their love caused the greatness of her grief … for the higher, the greater, and the sweeter the love is, so the greater the grief it is for those who love, to see their loved one suffer.”

 

What is also not appreciated by many is that spiritual and mental suffering can also be as agonizing as physical pain, and at times even more so. For example, the emotional pain of a patient suffering from depression and the spiritual dryness of the “desert”, the so-called “dark night of the soul,” which a few prayerful people experience, can parallel or exceed physical pain, albeit measured on different scales and parameters of human suffering. There are also many cases, for example, of elderly spouses of happy and longstanding marriages, dying within hours or days of each other from the sheer anguish of the death of their loved one and from the unbearable and emotional pain of the separation. So it would have been with the Mother of Love on that Friday had she not been preserved from death by God. Indeed, the Church recognizes her as a martyr, the Queen of the martyrs, but one who was not allowed to die!

 

But the most important moment of His life, of course, was on Calvary; and it is there that we need to make sure we are united with Him. Most of us run from Calvary rather than running to Calvary.

 

Are we willing to take up the Cross, to deny ourselves, to walk all the way to Calvary, and to be blessed by the Cross in the fullness of what that means: to be united with Jesus Christ in His Passion, in His Death, and in His Resurrection?

 

An excerpt of a Homily by Fr. Robert Altier Friday August 9, 2002

http://desertvoice.excerptsofinri.com/

“Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.” These are not easy words when we stop to think about what Our Lord’s Cross required of Him and all of the things that happened to Him as He carried His Cross on the way to Calvary. But then He tells us that if we want to come after Him this is the only way. We know that if we are going to follow the Lord, it is to follow Him to Calvary, it is to be crucified with Him.

 

This is not something which is a popular idea in a society which upholds pleasure and ease, to hear about having to suffer and to have to take up the Cross, to deny the self in a society which tells us exactly the opposite. To indulge yourself is the virtue of America, but there is no virtue in that at all. It is to deny the self that we have to be about, and that is not something which comes naturally to any of us either; that is something which has to be a choice on our part; it is something that each one of us needs to make an act of the will to do. It is something we have to decide over and over and over, which is why Our Lord tells us that we have to deny ourselves everyday. That is what He tells us in Saint Luke’s Gospel: “You must deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Me.”

 

If you really want to find the life that God created you to have, it is to be united with Christ. And to be united with Christ is to be united with Him in everything – everything from Bethlehem to Calvary and into, finally, His Resurrection and Ascension into Heaven. It is to be united with Jesus Christ in every aspect of His life.

12-year old girl YouTube Video speaks out on the issue of abortion

Irving C. “Francis” Houle passed away on Saturday, Jan. 3, 2009

A man called Francis

ESCANABA – Irving C. “Francis” Houle, 83, 1108 7th Ave S., Escanaba, passed away on Saturday, Jan. 3, 2009, at Marquette General Hospital.

He was born on Dec. 27, 1925, in Wilson, the son of Peter and Lillian (Bennett) Houle. Irving was raised in Wilson and attended Harris High School before moving to Escanaba in 1942. He graduated from St. Joseph High School in 1944.

The day following graduation, Irving entered the U.S. Army. While serving his country, he received the European, African, Middle Eastern Theater Service Medal, Good Conduct Medal, and the American Theater Service Medal. He was honorably discharged on June 20, 1946.

On Nov. 17, 1948, Irving married the former Gail LaChapelle at St. Joseph Church in Escanaba.

Over the years, Irving was employed with Robert’s Shoes, Montgomery Ward, Northern Chemical Supply, Harnischfeger Corporation, and worked for 15 years at EMP as the first plant manager.

He was a member of St. Joseph and St. Patrick’s Church and was active with the Knights of Columbus.

While he was a 3rd degree Knight, he was the Grand Knight and also the District Deputy prior to his installation as a 4th degree Knight.

He was a religious man that prayed with many people. A book, “A Man Called Francis” was written by Fr. Robert J. Fox on his Gift from God.

Irving enjoyed gardening, sports, and spending time with his family.

Among the survivors include his wife of 60 years, Gail; daughter, Margo (Brian) Rout of Columbus, Ind.; four sons, Steve (Peggy) of Escanaba, Peter (Mark Levesque) of Philadelphia, Pa., John (Lori) of Escanaba, and Matt (Salli) of Gladstone; seven grandchildren, Jodi, Jason, Jennifer, Stephanie, Jared, Jerilyn, and Ian; four great-grandchildren, Cole, Taylor, Jersie, and Cooper; brother, Robert (Colleen) Houle of Chelsie, Mich.; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Ray, Donald, Reyn, and Al; and sister, Gladys.

Visitation will be on Wednesday, Jan. 7, from noon to 6 p.m. at St. Joseph and St. Patrick Church in Escanaba.

The Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 6 p.m. with Rev. Eric Olson officiating. A meal will be served following the Mass in the church fellowship hall.

Burial will be in Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund in Irving’s name will be established by the family at a later date. Envelopes will be available at the church and funeral home.

The Crawford Funeral Homes are assisting the Houle family with arrangements.

 

Francis was also on EWTN on a program called “RECLAIMING YOUR CHILDREN FOR THE CATHOLIC FAITH” hosted by Fr. Fox
below is link to a mp3 audio (30minutes) for episode#8 of the program called “The Church of New Covenant – The Cross”

 

 ”Francis”, relates the life of a married man in the United States who bears the wound marks of Jesus Christ on his hands. He undergoes the events surrounding the Suffering and Death of Jesus Christ each night of the year, more pronounced on all the Fridays of the year and during Lent, and with greater intensity during Holy Week.

Extensive references to Sacred Scripture will help you understand why and how Francis has been chosen to become a ‘living sacrifice’ and how the same should apply to every Christian.

The readers of this book will be inspired to greater devotion to the Sufferings of Jesus Christ which can be experienced in the devout making of the Way of the Cross. This book, prayerfully read, will lead to a great love of and adoration for the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist, present with His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the tabernacles throughout the world.

Pray for your world leaders. Pray for your Priests so they truly shepherd their flock. Today is a day to pray, for hell truly exists. #2685

America, I am warning you, there will be terrible consequences if you do not protect the right of the unborn. Listen and obey, obey God’s Commandments.

America has been truly blessed, but all can be taken away if my children deny that God exists. This is why I am telling each of you to turn to God and be a more thankful people.

I see many joining hands with the terrorists because they have so much hate in their hearts. I see many leaders who are not obeying God’s laws.

MESSAGE #2542 from the Blessed Mother October 21, 2003
 
My daughter, How I weep for those souls who continue to reject God’s mercy and grace. I weep for those who are choosing darkness, for darker days await them. Many will suffer if they do not repent and amend their ways. Many will suffer because they will not know who to turn to when God shakes this earth.

The time will come, so please continue to gather and pray. Pray for those who are refusing to come to know Jesus. Pray for those who have allowed themselves to become dependent on their wealth. Pray from your hearts and welcome each child who comes, comes to this Church. Welcome each person and be kind and loving to those around you. Your love and prayers will help those who are suffering in any way. Your love and prayers will help them convert before it’s too late.

There is much work that needs to be accomplished, so please put on your armor and be true soldiers for Christ. Be true to God and allow Him to use you in these times. Be patient and loving and put on your armor of love. Keep your focus on Jesus and do not allow the world to pull you away from Him. Do not allow the enemy to advance. Be on guard and remain prayerful. Look to God and pray, pray throughout the day.

Pray for those who are speaking the truth. Pray for my chosen sons. Their job is not easy and it will become harder in days to come. Many will suffer for living their Catholic Faith. It is time now to join hands and pray, so please work together and light the way for others. Do all that you can now, so more come to know our Dear Lord Jesus. I am truly with you each time you pray, so be not afraid. Be not afraid to live, live your Catholic Faith.

God will strengthen you each new day if you trust and turn to Him, so begin today and abandon yourself to His Will. Begin today so you are ready and prepared for each new battle. Go now with peace in your hearts and be a loving people. Amen.

Catechism of the Catholic Church
1608 Nevertheless, the order of creation persists, though seriously disturbed. To heal the wounds of sin, man and woman need the help of the grace that God in his infinite mercy never refuses them. Without his help man and woman cannot achieve the union of their lives for which God created them “in the beginning.”

Matthew Chapter 20 1-16

 The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out at dawn to hire laborers for his vineyard. After agreeing with them for the usual daily wage, he sent them into his vineyard. Going out about nine o’clock, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 
and he said to them, ‘You too go into my vineyard, and I will give you what is just.’
So they went off. (And) he went out again around noon, and around three o’clock, and did likewise. Going out about five o’clock, he found others standing around, and said to them,

‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’ They answered, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You too go into my vineyard.’

When it was evening the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Summon the laborers and give them their pay, beginning with the last and ending with the first.’

When those who had started about five o’clock came, each received the usual daily wage.

So when the first came, they thought that they would receive more, but each of them also got the usual wage. And on receiving it they grumbled against the landowner, saying,

‘These last ones worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who bore the day’s burden and the heat.’  He said to one of them in reply, ‘My friend, I am not cheating you. Did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage?  Take what is yours and go. What if I wish to give this last one the same as you? (Or) am I not free to do as I wish with my own money? Are you envious because I am generous?’  Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
CHRISTIFIDELES LAICI Pope John Paul II  – 1987
The Mission Of The Lay Faithful In The Church And In The World.

The People of God which might be likened to the laborers in the vineyard mentioned in Matthew s Gospel: “For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard” (Mt 20:1-2).

The gospel parable sets before our eyes the Lord’s vast vineyard and the multitude of persons, both women and men, who are called and sent forth by him to labor in it. The vineyard is the whole world (cf. Mt 13:38) which is to be transformed according to the plan of God in view of the final coming of the Kingdom of God.

“And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace; and he said to them, ‘You too go into the vineyard’” (Mt 20:3-4).

From that distant day the call of the Lord Jesus “You too go into my vineyard” never fails to resound in the course of history: it is addressed to every person who comes into this world.

To all people of today, I once again repeat the impassioned cry with which I began my pastoral ministry: “Do not be afraid! Open, indeed, open wide the doors to Christ! Open to his saving power the confines of states, and systems political and economic, as well as the vast fields of culture, civilization, and development. Do not be afraid! Christ knows ‘what is inside a person.’ Only he knows!

Today too often people do not know what they carry inside, in the deepest recesses of their soul, in their heart. Too often people are uncertain about a sense of life on earth. Invaded by doubts they are led into despair. Therefore—with humility and trust I beg and implore you—allow Christ to speak to the person in you. Only he has the words of life, yes, eternal life.”    Opening wide the doors to Christ, accepting him into humanity itself poses absolutely no threat to persons, indeed it is the only road to take to arrive at the total truth and the exalted value of the human individual.
