27th Sunday in Ordinary Time “Conflict And The Kingdom” Sts. Peter and Paul Church

October 8, 2017

READINGS October 8, 2017 Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time (A) Is 5:1–7; Phil 4:6–9; Mt 21:33–43 The Chosen People were often compared to a garden or vineyard that God had planted and cared for. First, he placed them in the Garden of Eden.

Then he led them to flourish in Egypt before accommodating them in the Promised Land. After all his care and cultivation he expected to find a fruitful return. In the Song of Songs and then with Jesus himself, not only are the people of God compared to a vineyard, but each of our souls is compared to a vineyard where God plants seeds, waters, and expects to find new growth by thirty-, sixty-, or one hundredfold.

In the image of the Chosen People, the Church, or our souls, one thing is constant: God expects a return on his love. Not because he is selfish and in need of our response but because he knows our happiness depends on receiving and showing him that love.

Jesus says the vineyard will be taken away from those who don’t care for it and given to those who will produce its fruit. In the same way, grace will be directed away from some and toward those who accept it and produce faith and love.

This is not a threat or “Catholic guilt.” This is a true Father letting his children know he loves them too much to not take them seriously. He gives and gives for our growth and maturing, but if that generosity isn’t sincerely embraced and appreciated, he will eventually listen to us and move on. Now is the time to accept his love and enjoy the fruits.

First Reading – Isaiah 5:1-7 Isaiah introduces a series of woes leveled again Judah for their infidelity to Yahweh. The allegorical nature of the song shows that Yahweh is the owner of the vineyard and the people of Judah are his choice plantings. The vineyard of Christ’s church produces fruit only when the Church is in complete dependence on the vine.

Second Reading – Philippians 4:6-9 The apostle Paul seeks to impress on his readers that they must have certain right standards of action. Paul tells is audience to make room in their lives for some wholesome, healthy experiences, The Apostle knew that what we bring to the room where we live will determine much of the peace we know or fail to find.

Gospel Reading – Matthew 21:33-43 This parable illustrates the deliberateness of human sin. Sin is the deliberate taking of our own way, when we know quite well what the way of God is.

The cultivators in this story carry out a deliberate policy of disobedience to the Landowner to their own peril.

STEWARDSHIP TIME – TALENT – TREASURE Sts. Peter and Paul

atholic Care Project

FACES OF HUNGER Stewardship begins with Discipleship Stewardship is a conversion journey of receiving God’s love and returning it to Him. A conversion requires prayer, reflection and time to allow God to show us who we are, and the person of love we can become.

Throughout the conversion experience, a Disciple yearns to change and grow into the person God created them to be – a Steward uniquely his own, but united in one Body through Jesus Christ.

A Steward acknowledges their many Godgiven gifts and in gratitude, responds to the Gospel invitation to nurture and share those gifts with others.

Each day, Sts Peter and Paul Parish is buzzing with activity. There are groups that pray together, groups that minister to other parishioners, and groups that reach out to the community. Part of being an active member of our parish is to find a place for yourself – a ministry where your personal talents can best be put to use.

Reflect on your skills and interests.

Prayerfully consider how much time you can commit to helping and make a connection to that ministry or project.

This will nurture your conversion journey, allowing you to grow closer to God and experience a deeper relationship with Him. As a Disciple of Jesus Christ – YOU are a Steward all your own, with unique gifts and talents to share.

Hunger affects old and young alike. While fixed-income kupuna, individuals with disabilities and low-income families are the most visible examples of people who struggle, hunger doesn’t stop there. Hunger affects all groups of people regardless of education level, employment status or ethnicity.

Due to the soaring costs of housing, healthcare and food, many people who work– even families with two incomes – often can’t make ends meet or put enough food on the table.

AS WE CELEBRATE THE CENTENIAL OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA, DO SOMETHING SPECIAL

BY BEING AN INSTRUMENT OF GOD’S LOVE TO THOSE WHO ARE HUNGRY. This food drive is sponsored by our Parish Catholic Care Project and will serve the needs of our parish Kupuna, Ohana and those who come to our door who are struggling with food insecurity.

To qualify for this program you must meet at least (1) of the following criteria: • A registered parishioner of Sts. Peter and Paul and struggling with food insecurity • A non registered parishioner must be homebound, living in our parish service area and unable to get to a food pantry resource due to medical or physical limitations Contact our Catholic Care Helpline at (808) 385-8229 All information we receive remains confidential.

What is R.C.I.A.?

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation) is a complex form of adult formation. Its complexity flows from the need for the process to be authentically truthful (implying the teaching is far removed from the easy sound-bite answers and errors of the culture), authentically personal (implying flexibility and sacrificial effort to call for the from people deep conversion) and authentically unitive (implying insertion into a profoundly countercultural liturgical way of life to realize union with a divine Spouse).

The RCIA process is complex because it must be fully human, so it can be fully open to the divine. The restoration of the ancient catechumenal process, is a reflection of the Church’s wisdom to going back to a tried and true practice in order to lovingly bring people into her fold.

RCIA is liturgical, catechetical, and pastoral.

(More on this at a later date) Source: RCIA Association for Catechumenal Ministry

RCIA is a parish endeavor Here’s how you can help 1) Pray for our RCIA leaders, teachers and participants. Our theme this year adopted from the US Bishops’ 2014 is RCIA: Ever Ancient, Ever New. We ask each of you to set aside time to pray each day and ask the intercession of St. Augustine for our participants.

2) Invite a neighbor, family member or friend to come back to church or invite someone to mass with you.

The sessions will seek to answer some of Life’s questions and begin Wednesday, Oct. 11 at 6:00 p.m. (Conf. Room) and repeats Sunday, Oct. 15. at 10:00 a.m. (Location TBA) Our topic will be “The Existence of God”.

October 18 & 22 – Creation (Where did it all begin?)

October 25 & 29 – Divine Revelation (How does God speak to us?)

YOUNG ADULT MINISTRY

ʻ”Matt. 18:10 See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you that in heaven their angels always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.” ʻAnoʻai Kākou, Oct. 2nd was Mahatma Gandhi's birthday. We celebrated, as always, with community service. We are in need of volunteers as we are assisting students in the English Language Acquisition program or those trying to get their GED. All Native English speakers can help, as well as anyone that can speak a common language here (currently our students speak Korean, Cantonese, Portuguese, Japanese, and others).

We enjoyed our first ESL (English as a Second Language) Bible study last Friday, September 29th at 5:30 pm. Native speakers of Korean, Malayalam, and Portuguese, as well as English, all came together for an English bible study. It was fun and we all learned a lot. Our next one will be October 13th. All young adults, and anyone interested in both the Bible and improving their English, are highly encouraged to attend.

October 14th will be the second Saturday morning of the month, which is the young adults turn to help with cleaning the church.

In the near future, the young adults will also assist with computers, for members of our parish that have not yet completed the ShieldTheVulnerable.org program. It is necessary for all volunteers who wish to help youth/families, to be completed every five years (it takes less than two hours to complete).

movement.

In the United States, the practice of liturgical dance began to grow following Vatican Ii, but it was not readily accepted. Since dance in Western culture is viewed by some as an expression of love, intimacy, or diversion, the Church's approach is reserved. In 1975, the Vatican repeated this and said that because the Roman rite does not include dance as part of worship, inclusion of dance in liturgy is not appropriate ("The Religious Dance, an Expression of Spiritual ]oy,"
