TRANSCRIPT
Devotion to Our Lady of
Perpetual Help Every Wednesday @ 7 pm Mass
The parable today, teaches us
that promises can never take the
place of performance, and fine
words are never a substitute for
fine deeds. In other words, the
parable clearly teaches that the
Christian Way is followed in
performance, not in promise
alone, and that the mark of a
Christian is obedience, graciously
and courteously given. We are
not supposed to say “yes” to God
on Sundays and “no” to God on
weekdays. God doesn't want
polite but hypocritical words, for
that isn't obedience at all.
“Merciful and quick to
forgive,” God tolerates willful,
even blasphemous disobedience, provided repentance
follows. God remains faithful, always ready to receive
repentant sinners. He never abandons us even when we
abandon Him.
Nella parabola Gesu’ dice che:Il primo figlio disse di sì al padre, ma poi non va. Il secondo dice di no e poi va nella vigna. Gesù dice questa parabola, ai farisei e scribi. A loro vuol far comprendere che anche i peccatori, i pubblicani, le prostitute, che pure inizialmente avevano detto di no alla proposta del Signore, poi di fatto si erano convertiti, per cui loro stessi saranno davanti nel regno di Dio. L'affermazione è sicuramente molto pesante e ci lascia sbigottiti. Ma il criterio di Gesù non è collegabile al fatto di essere più o meno peccatori e dopo dei convertiti. Dio opera la salvezza per tutti, ma vuole la
collaborazione dell'uomo e non desidera che le persone accampino dei privilegi o che a parole si dicano cristiani, ma lo dimostrino andando a lavorare nella vigna del Signore. Essere cristiani non significa solo frequentare dei riti o dire delle preghiere per tenere Dio tranquillo, ma comporta dire quel sì con i fatti. "Non chi dice Signore Signore, ma chi fa la volontà del Padre mio entra nel Regno".

On the lighter side.....
The Healthy Christians
wo Christians have lived very good, and also very healthy lives. They die, and go to heaven.
As they are walking along, marvelling at the paradise around them, one turns to the other and says "Wow. I never knew heaven was going to be as good as this!" "Yeah", says the other. "And just think, if we hadn't eaten all that oat bran we could have got here ten years sooner."
