TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Before long, as we’ve seen, the four newly constructed Eu-charistic Prayers be-came two. The old Roman Canon faded away into relative dis-use after 1600 unbro-ken years, sometimes heard only at Christ-mas Midnight Mass or the Easter Vigil. The new Eucharistic Prayer IV, at least in its English form, grates a bit on most hearers, and besides is meant only for Ordinary Time. The reconstruction of the ancient prayer of Hippolytus, Eucharistic Prayer II, is the most familiar, but its brevity sometimes creates an imbalance with the Liturgy of the Word. No wonder that as soon as the creative juices be-gan to flow at the Vatican, people worldwide were trying their hands at new prayers. In 1967, even before the final shape of the new Mass was announced, bishops were asking to adapt that cele-bration for the needs of children. They wanted to clarify what ought to happen when large numbers of children are at Mass: what could be adapted, omitted, or shortened. Experimentation had already begun. Separate Liturgies of the Word for children were by this time commonplace in Holland and elsewhere in Europe. Catechists were saying that many of our liturgical forms were too complex for the children in their charge, and priests were making ad-aptations on their own. Clearly, the Vatican had to take this seriously. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

THE TWENTY-SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

October 8, 2017, Year A

BEARING THE RIGHT KIND OF FRUIT Today’s readings focus our attention on vineyards. Isaiah’s song concerning his friend’s vineyard begins with inspiring and poetic images of an idyllic vine-yard where the choicest harvest is expected. Instead, the vineyard yields wild grapes, which causes the owner to abandon it. The psalmist cries out to God, ask-ing that God once again take care of the vineyard, which is the house of Israel. The parable told in today’s Gospel offers a stern warning that those who commit treachery in the hopes of attaining personal wealth will be “put . . . to a wretched death” (Matthew 21:41). Jesus warns his listeners not to act like the murderous tenants in the vineyard. Instead he exhorts them to produce the kind of fruit that will lead them to the kingdom of God. © Copyright, J. S.

Jesus, I Trust in You!

A GOOD PRAYER A good prayer, though often used, is still fresh and fair in the eyes and ears of heaven. —Thomas Fuller

LEAVING THE CHURCH EARLY "I hope you didn't take it personally when my husband walked out during your sermon, preacher," an embar-rassed woman said after a church service. "I did find it rather disconcerting," the Pastor replied. "It wasn't out of any disrespect to you," insisted the church-goer."Fred has been walking in his sleep ever since he was a child."

COMPANIONSHIP Take my hand and walk along with me, not ahead of me; otherwise I may not follow you. —Anonymous
