Ordinary Time, 27th Sunday (A) God gave us the Garden of Eden, but we didn't take good care of it. We lost paradise and had to scrape a life out of the wilderness.

God plants a vineyard. He transplants the Hebrews from Egypt to Palestine. But the people act like they own the place and they bear rotten fruit. God sends his prophets, but they kill and stone them. God sends his Son, and they kill him too. God takes the vineyard away from them and gives it to the Apostles and the Church.

Now it's our turn to bear good fruit. Are be acting like stewards or like owners? Parishioners should look for their stewardship renewal materials in the mail and prayerfully discern a commitment of time, talent, and treasure for 2027.

The farmers are collecting the harvest. They are digging potatoes and chopping corn. What kind of return is God getting on his investment in you? Are you bearing good fruit?
