RCL reflection, Proper 22, Year A, October 8, 2023.
This week’s Gospel urges us to ask how we are tending the fruits of God’s vineyard. Are we cultivating sweet grapes of grace or extracting all that we can without thought for others? Do we sow gratitude at every chance?
Lectionary Reflection: 16th Sunday after Pentecost
Who belongs in the vineyard and who does not? What role will you play in this cast of characters? One thing’s for certain–this week’s gospel challenges our assumptions and asks us to look long and hard at how we embody the gospel.
