This Homily (22 minutes) was given by Fr. Thomas Weise at the 11 am Mass. We are called to produce and abundant harvest in the Vineyard of the Lord. We are reminded that we are but tenant farmer, stewards of God's bounty, not owners and we need to learn to share. St. Paul says "Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God." When we can live free from anxiety we are truly available to build the Kingdom of God. Paul continues by recommending that we focus our attention and efforts on the good, the true, and the beautiful.
Homework: For one week, before going to bed make a list of the ten things you are grateful for each day. I have been doing this for several years and it really helps me live free from anxiety.
Readings: Isaiah 5:1-7; Psalm 80; Philippians 4:6-9; Mathew 21:33-43
