THE GIFT OF THE REIGN OF GOD Matthew's Gospel today expands on Isaiah's ballad considerably. A comparison with the same story in Mark's Gospel clearly shows us that here the author is busy teaching this community of Jewish Christians: "This is a story about Israel a long time ago; this is also a story about Jesus and the skeptical leaders." Jesus as much as told these Jewish leaders that they were the tenants who first stoned their own prophets. And he told the leaders they were the tenants who would soon even dispose of him--Jesus--and, in doing so, would forfeit their privileged place of presenting to the world the promised Messiah. "And this," says Matthew's Gospel, "is a story about you, the inheritors of what was first offered to Israel." The reign of God was first opened to Israel and is now given to the whole world, but it must be received as a gift. The first Christians are the new tenants in the vineyard. The deeper reality of the reign or kingdom of God is that it is available to everyone on the face of the earth--Israel included. EL REGALO DEL REINO DE DIOS El Evangelio de hoy segn san Mateo ampla considerablemente la balada de Isaas. Una comparacin con el mismo relato en el Evangelio segn san Marcos muestra que aqu el autor se ocupa de ensear a su comunidad de judo-cristianos: "Este es un relato sobre el Israel de antao; y es tambin un relato sobre Jess y los dudosos lderes". Jess lleg a decir a estos lderes judos que ellos eran los viadores que primero apedrearon a sus propios profetas. Y le dijo a los lderes que ellos eran los viadores que pronto se desharan de l, Jess, y que, al hacerlo, renunciaran a su papel privilegiado de presentar al Mesas prometido al mundo. "Y ste", dice el Evangelio segn san Mateo, "es un relato sobre ustedes, los herederos de lo que fue primeramente ofrecido a Israel". El Reino de Dios fue abierto primero para Israel y ahora es ofrecido a todo el mundo, pero debe ser recibido como un regalo. Los primeros cristianos son los nuevos viadores. La ms profunda realidad del Reino de Dios es que est a disposicin de toda persona sobre la faz de la tierra, incluso a Israel. Page 2

La segunda colecta es para el fondo del mantenimiento de la Iglesia. OURS In recent times, politicians, corporate leaders, bankers, and others have acted with outrageous greed and selfishness, and with devastating consequences. Has there ever been a worse time than this? The answer is yes: history reveals a procession of disasters, wars, and bloodthirsty tyrants. But there is room for hope. Matthew was writing his Gospel for Jewish Christians whose new faith separated them from other Jews. All were living under oppressive Roman rule. The vineyard Matthew speaks of is the world. God is the landowner who created it and made it fruitful. The evil tenants in Matthew's community were those power-hungry Jewish leaders who collaborated with Rome and cooperated in killing God's Son. Those who wreak havoc in God's world face justice in this life or the next. Our task is to tend the vineyard with deeds of charity and ethical and moral behavior, and to welcome the forgotten and oppressed. Never lose heart, never give up; the Kingdom is ours. Pgina 3

LIVING STEWARDSHIP NOW "Great works do not always lie in our way, but every moment we may do little ones excellently, that is, with great love." --Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622), bishop, missionary, and patron saint of writers ES NUESTRO Vivimos en unos tiempos en que los polticos, los directores de empresas, banqueros, y otros grupos de personas han actuado con una avaricia y un egosmo que rayan en lo escandaloso, y las consecuencias han sido devastadoras. Habrn habido otros tiempos peores que stos? La respuesta es que s. La historia nos revela una procesin de desastres, guerras y tiranos sanguinarios. Pero an hay lugar para la esperanza. Mateo escriba su Evangelio para cristianos judos cuya nueva fe los separaba de los otros judos. Todos vivan bajo la opresin del gobierno romano. El viedo al cual se refiere Mateo es el mundo. Dios es el propietario que lo cre y lo hizo fructfero. Los viadores malvados en la comunidad de Matero eran los lderes judos, ambiciosos de poder que colaboraban con Roma y eran cmplices de la muerte del Hijo de Dios. Aquellos que causan estragos al mundo de Dios se encontrarn con la justicia en esta vida o en la prxima. Nuestra tarea es atender el viedo con obras de caridad y con un comportamiento tico y moral, as como con nuestra acogida a los abandonados y oprimidos. Nunca te descorazones ni te des por vencido; el Reino es nuestro. LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD VIVIDA AHORA "No siempre se nos presenta la oportunidad de hacer obras grandes, pero en todo momento podemos hacer obras pequeas de una manera extraordinaria, esto es, con un gran amor". --San Francisco de Sales (1567-1622), obispo, misionero y patrn de los escritores ENGLISH BAPTISMAL CLASS This Friday, October 7, Room #1 of the Faith Formation Center, North & Bethel, from 7 pm. ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE REGISTERED may attend this class. The celebration of baptism will begin with the Mass at 10:30 am. Come early! Page 4

NEW ROMAN MISSAL+NUEVO MISAL ROMANO

There will be no Parent Session/ Adult Faith Formation class on the Revised Roman Missal this week. All priests will be at the Priests Retreat in Three Rivers from Monday through Thursday. Please remember all those who will be attending this retreat in your prayers this week. The parent/adult sessions will resume next Sunday, October 9. Last Wednesday, we had our third session (which will be repeated next Sunday) dealing with the Gloria and the Liturgy of the Word. The Gloria is our response to Gods kindness, compassion, and mercy which we have just celebrated in the Penitential Act. The revised translation of this ancient hymn expresses more literally the sentiments of the Latin original. While the previous translation had us singing Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth, the revised text will have us singing Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. This is not only faithful to the Latin original, Gloria in excelsis Deo, et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis, but it better connects with Luke 2:14. Those familiar with the Christmas story will hear in the opening line of the Gloria an echo of the angels announcing peace at the birth of Jesus. After the Introductory Rites, we are now ready to encounter the Lord in the Liturgy of the Word. The peoples part during this point will have no change at all, except for the response at the priests/deacons greeting before proclaiming the Gospel (And with your spirit as in the Introductory Rites) and the Creed (which we shall tackle in the next session). Session #3: The Gloria and the Liturgy of the Word Sunday, Oct. 9, chapel 9-10:30 am (Bilingual) 11:30 am-1 pm (Bilingual) 2-3:30 pm (Spanish) 3:30-5 pm (Bilingual) Session #4: The Profession of Faith Wednesday, October 12 (Hall) 4:30-6 pm & 7-8:30 pm No habr la Sesin sobre el Misal Romano para los Padres y Adultos esta semana. Todos los sacerdotes estarn en el Retiro para Sacerdotes en Tres Ros de lunes a jueves. Recuerde por favor todo los que asistirn a este retiro en sus oraciones esta semana. Las sesiones para padre y adultos reasumirn el prximo domingo, 9 de octubre. El mircoles pasado, tuvimos nuestra tercera sesin (que ser repetida el prximo domingo) tratando con el Gloria y la Liturgia de la Palabra. El Gloria es nuestra respuesta a la bondad, compasin, y misericordia de Dios que acabamos de celebrar en el Acto Penitencial. La traduccin revisada de este antiguo himno expresa ms literalmente los sentimientos de la original latina. Mientras la traduccin anterior nos tuvo cantando "Gloria a Dios en el cielo, y en la tierra paz a los hombres que ama el Seor, el texto revisado nos tendr cantar "Gloria a Dios en el cielo, y en la tierra paz a los hombres de voluntad buena". Esto es no slo fiel a la original latina, "Gloria en el excelsis Deo, et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis," pero mejor conecta con Lucas 2:14. Los que son familiarizados con la historia de Navidad oirn en la lnea de apertura del Gloria un eco de los ngeles que anuncian la paz en el nacimiento de Jess. Despus de los Ritos Iniciales, estamos ahora listos para encontrarse con el Seor en la Liturgia de la Palabra. La reforma litrgica hizo posible que la comunidad de creyentes conociera los evangelios de Mateo, los de Marcos, Lucas y Juan. En nmeros claros, antes del Concilio Vaticano II slo se proclamaba el 5% del Evangelio de Marcos y, del Antiguo Testamento, slo se proclamaban 258 versculos, de los 25,044 versculos que lo componen, es decir, slo el 1%. Un gran paso, sin duda. VENGAN A LAS PLTICAS PARA CONOCER MS TU FE. Los padres de los nios y jvenes que asisten a la doctrina DEBEN participar a estas plticas. En espaol, 9 de octubre, 2-3:30 pm

PRAYER FOR A NEW BISHOP Almighty God, send your Holy Spirit to guide those who will advise the Holy Father in the selection of the next Bishop of the Diocese of Fresno. May he have the zeal of Saint Paul, the priestly gifts of Saint John Vianney, the wisdom of a loving father and brother, and most of all, the heart of your Son, Jesus. We ask that the Blessed Virgin Mary intercede for us, and Saint Therese, our patroness, join us in this prayer, which we make through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
