Scripture Insights People often associate vineyards and wine with vacations and wedding celebrations. In the Bi-ble, the vineyard is a metaphor for the riches and delights that God’s holy ones will enjoy in the end time (see, for example, Isaiah 25:6). But today’s readings give a different take on the vineyard imagery. In the First Reading, Isaiah uses a parable about a vineyard to deliver God’s judgment on the kingdoms of Judah and Israel, at that time, (eighth century BC) being invaded by Assyria. In the story, a landowner planted a vineyard on fertile land an did everything he could to make it productive and keep it safe, but the vines refused to produce good fruit. There-fore the owner stopped caring for the vines and let the vineyard return to the wild. In the Second Reading, Paul makes no mention of the vine-yard, but his exhortation to the Philippians ex-presses well what the good fruit symbolizes-everything that is honorable, just, pure, and gra-cious. Today’s Gospel describes Jesus using a similar vineyard parable to condemn the chief priests and elders who were supposed to be tak-ing care of God’s people. The landowner’s son represents Jesus, who would be put to death be-cause of the jealousy and greed of the religious leaders. Remember that the Gospel accounts were written after the Death and Resurrection of Jesus. The quotation from Psalm 118:22, used by Mark and Luke as well as Matthew, must have helped the early Christians to make sense of the Crucifixion. ♦ Create an allegorical interpretation of the

Gospel parable by answering these ques-tions: Whom does the absentee landlord rep-resent? Who are the tenants? Who are the landlord’s servants? What is the message of the story?

♦ How does the Responsorial Psalm relate to

the parables in today’s readings? ♦ If you imagine yourself as a vine in God’s

vineyard, what “good fruit” would you like to offer to God?

All About Mary’s Titles and Epitaphs

Formal Titles for Mary: Mary’s formal titles derive from our teachings and dogmas about Mary and her role in salvation. Blessed Virgin Mary: this refers to the fact that Mary is ever-virgin before, during and after the birth of Jesus. Mother of God: Officially given to Mary at the coun-cil of Ephesus in 431 under

the Greek term of Theotokos or “one who bears the One who is God,” this title recognizes that her son Jesus is both fully God and fully man. Our Lady: A title deriving from courtly honors, often used for noble women and queens, it appears in may languages such as Madonna, Notre Dame, Nuestra Senora. Queen of Heaven: As the mother of Jesus, Mary takes her place by his side as queen and is addressed as such. Immaculate Conception: Recognizes that Mary was con-ceived without Original Sin. The Assumption: Refers to the fact that Mary was bodily taken up (assumed) into heaven after her death. EPITAPHS: An epitaph is a short text giving praise and honor to a person. Mary’s epitaphs give insight into her character and position in the church. Full of Grace: The angel Gabriel called her this in Luke 1:28. Star of the Sea: First used by St. Jerome, it signifies Mary’s role as a sign of hope and as a guiding star, leading to her Son. Morning/Evening Star: The first star to be seen in the sky in both the morning and the evening, this points to Mary as the First Chris-tian. Cause of Our Joy: Her “yes” to God is the reason we can rejoice in our salvation. Throne of Wisdom: Jesus, along with the holy Spirit, is considered the source of Wisdom. Because Jesus as a child sat on Mary’s lap, she is the “throne” of that wisdom. Mother of the Church: Mary is our mother and the moth of all believers. Mary is referred to as “Queen” under many roles.
