REFLECTING ON THE WORD

27th Sunday in Ordinary Time

October 8, 2017

FOCUS: The Error of Entitlement

Reflecting on the Word

When I listen to reports about what people do or do not have and how they respond to their life

situations, I am struck by the difference between those who are grateful and those who feel

entitled. It seems that a sense of entitlement fills many of us and destroys the virtues of gratitude and

responsibility. When I feel entitled, I often envy what others have and focus on what I do not

have. Envy blinds me from seeing what I do have and keeps me from being grateful. It also feeds the

need for more rather than seeing that I often have enough. I can become willing to do anything to

grab more, even violence.

This is also the dynamic of the gospel parable. The tenants wanted what was not theirs. In their lust

for more they become violent, even to murdering the owner's servants and sons mistakenly thinking

that would be given the vineyard. Envy, lust, and blindness yield more than wild grapes. They feed

on themselves until something or someone else ends that vicious cycle. The Letter to the Philippians

offers an antidote: Seek whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and gracious. Truth can lead

to accepting what our gifts are and are not, and help us grow in right relationship (justice) with God,

others, and ourselves. Truth invites gratitude for our gifts and the ability to develop them. Truth

fosters appreciation of other's gifts. Then when we mourn what we lack, we discover that we have

all we need, or we find ways to seek what we need without destroying another. Pray, "Look down

from heaven, and see, take care of this vine, and protect what your right hand has planted." Let it be

enough.

Consider/Discuss:

Have you ever felt entitled? How did that affect you?

What helps you nurture gratitude and live the words of today’s second reading?

Praying with the Word

Generous God, you have gifted us in many ways. How can we ever thank you? When envy,

jealousy, or the wish for more blinds us to the gifts we already have, heal us. Help us appreciate

what you have given to us and affirm the gifts that you give to our brothers and sisters. Amen.

Peace,

New to St. Joseph? Our Hospitality Committee would love to welcome you! Contact them at [email protected] or call the parish office at 410-674-9238. We would love to meet you and answer any questions you may have about our vibrant and growing parish community!

Broadway’s COME FROM AWAY is a Best Musical winner all across North America! This New York Times Critics’ Pick takes you into the heart of the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in

Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew

into enduring friendships. Don’t miss this breathtaking new musical written by Tony® nominees Irene Sankoff and David Hein, and helmed by this year’s

Tony-winning Best Director, Christopher Ashley. Newsweek cheers, “It takes you to a place you never want to leave!”

On 9/11, the world stopped. On 9/12, their stories moved us all.
