The vineyard is well cultivated, but it does not produce. The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel and the people of Judah, his cherished plants.

2nd READING PHILIPPIANS 4: 6-9 (Wholesome Thoughts) Pray to God for your needs. God will guard over you. Discern what is true, noble, and good and pure, loved and honored, virtuous and worthy of praise. God’s peace will be with you. THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW 21:33-43 (The Tenant Farmers) Jesus uses the parable of the vineyard owner. Salvation is offered to all. The chosen who reject Christ are really turning him over to the whole world. The vineyard will be leased to others. The Kingdom of God will produce fruit.
