Let’s explore some of the themes in the Mass Readings for the 25th Sunday of the Year.
1st Reading – Isaiah 55:6-9
Isaiah urges the people to seek and call upon the Lord while he is near.
God’s thoughts and ways and not like ours; as the heavens are high above the earth, so are God’s ways high above our own.
Psalm – 145:2-3,8-9,17-18
“The Lord is near to all who call upon him.”
God’s goodness and kindness is revealed in the compassion extended to all creation.
2nd Reading – Philippians 1:20c-24,27a
Christ is magnified in our bodies, by life or by death.
St. Paul is in conflict: death means that he will be with Christ; life means that he is able to serve Christ’s people.
Gospel – Matthew 20:1-16a
Jesus offers a parable about a landowner who is generous to the laborers who could not work a full day in his vineyard.

“How often must I forgive?” Peter asks Jesus. The Lord’s parable and the first reading from the Book of Sirach make it clear that forgiveness is a non-negotiable component of Christian life. May we kneel before the crucifix and pray for the grace to put this teaching into daily practice.
