The stone rejected by the builders that is the keystone - 27th Sunday of the Year, Year A
The stone rejected by the builders that is the keystone: Jesus continues to challenge the leaders of Israel. Adopting the symbol of a Vineyard for God's chosen people, he accuses those who have been entrusted to care for it. They are only interested in themselves. When harvest time comes they refuse to deliver its fruits to the Master. Instead, they slay his messengers the prophets, and even slay his son and throw him out of the vineyard. But those who rejected the son will, in turn, be rejected. The son will become the bedrock upon which a new people of God will be built, a new vineyard that will not be destroyed. How easy it can be, even in our own time, to forget that we are servants in the vineyard, and that our Lord is the rejected Son.

Putting our lives where our words are. - 26th Sunday of the Year, Year A
Putting our lives where our words are: Jesus has now entered Jerusalem, and driven out those who would make the Temple into a robbers' den. He resumes conflict with the leaders of Israel: "the chief priests and the elders of the people." They are forced to admit that it is not so much what you say that matters, but what you do. True religion, as it has been lived by John the Baptist and the tax-collectors and prostitutes cannot be measured by words. Our convictions must be reflected in the way we live. We practising Christians are urged to make our mark in contemporary society by putting our lives where our words are.

The Kingdom of Heaven is different! - 25th Sunday of the Year, Year A
The Kingdom of Heaven is different: Jesus' final moment teaching his disciples is dedicated to increasing their understanding of the strangeness of God. The payment of a denarius is agreed between the Master of the vineyard and the workers at the beginning of the day. No further agreement is made. We can understand, and even sympathise with these workers as they see those who arrived late receiving a denarius, only to find that is also their reward. God surprises us. The Master is not being unfair. He is being amazingly generous. Who are we to question God's generosity? We must allow God to be God, and administer his Kingdom in God's surprising way.
