Reflection - Week of September 20

Question of the Week:


When have I resented the generosity shown to someone else? When have I failed to realize the generosity shown to me?



















     But remember how Jesus begins his parable. He compares the kingdom of heaven not to any of the workers, but to the landowner. The generosity of the landowner illustrates the kingdom, not the reaction of any of the workers. God is generous beyond expectation, beyond reason, beyond fairness. We are the workers, the recip￾ients of God’s generosity. We are all sinners. We all have sinned against God and against others. We all have needed forgiveness. Like the latecomers in the parable, we are unworthy of the reward we will receive. But in God’s infinite mercy, we are all able to receive the ultimate reward.

     We are called to increase the generosity in our hearts so that we may imitate God’s generosity in the way we give of ourselves to others, appreciate the generosity given to others without resentment or envy, and accept humbly the generosity of mercy and forgiveness when we do not deserve it. By doing so, we may, as Saint Paul put it, “conduct [ourselves] in a way worthy of the gospel of Christ” (Philippians 1:27)

Resumption of Sunday Mass Obligation

"Effective Easter Sunday, April 4 (or as of the Easter Vigil, April 3), I am ending the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass, which has been in effect since mid-March 2020. However, anyone who is sick, may have been exposed to anyone with COVID-19, or who has a health condition that would endanger themselves or others by being present in church, continues to be dispensed."

-Bishop Larry Silva
