28th Sunday

On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples

a feast of rich food, a feast of well-matured wines,   

of rich food filled with marrow, of well-matured wines strained clear.

  And he will destroy on this mountain   

  the shroud that is cast over all peoples,  

  the sheet that is spread over all nations; 

  he will swallow up death for ever.

Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces,   

and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth,   

for the Lord has spoken. 

Isaiah 25:6-8

 "What do you think? A man had two sons; and he went to the first and said, `Son, go and work in the vineyard today.' And he answered, `I will not'; but afterward he repented and went. And he went to the second and said the same; and he answered, `I go, sir,' but did not go. 

Which of the two did the will of his father?"

17th Sunday

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls,  who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

Matthew 13:44-46

16th Sunday

"The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field;  but while men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.  So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also.  And the servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then has it weeds?'  He said to them, `An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, `Then do you want us to go and gather them?'  But he said, `No; lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them.  Let both grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be  burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.'"

Matthew 13:24-30

and parish BBQ... :-)

15th Sunday

"A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they had not much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil,  but when the sun rose they were scorched; and since they had no root they withered away. Other seeds fell upon thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears, let him hear."

Matthew 13:3-9

14th Sunday

 At that time Jesus declared,

 I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,

 that you have hidden these things from the wise

 and understanding and revealed them to babes;

 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.

Corpus Christi

 I am the living bread which came down from heaven;

 if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever;

 and the bread which I shall give for  the life of the world is my flesh. (John 6:51)

MOST HOLY TRINITY SUNDAY

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

 John 3:16-18

Pentecost

Ascension of the Lord

You are witnesses of these things.  And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high."  Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.  While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.  And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy,  and were continually in the temple blessing God.

Luke 24:48-53
