In this homily for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time, the rich biblical imagery of the vineyard found in both Isaiah and the Gospel is explored to reveal God's enduring call for righteousness. Beginning with a lighthearted childhood memory of farm life, the reflection dives into the historical and spiritual significance of Jesus's parable of the wicked tenants. Christ, the rejected heir who was crucified outside the city walls, becomes the cornerstone of a new kingdom, inviting baptized believers to labor in His vineyard through the grace of the sacraments. Tying this Gospel message to Respect Life Sunday, the homily challenges the faithful to produce good fruit by protecting human dignity from womb to tomb, defending the vulnerable from evils like human trafficking and euthanasia, and upholding God’s design for marriage and society.
