Twenty-Eighth Sunday of the Year (Year A)
Preacher’s Sketchbook
Posted by The Dominican Friars on October 05, 2011
Parable of the Wedding Feast
Each week, a Dominican member of the Provincial Preaching Advisory board prepares this Preacher's Sketchbook in anticipation of the upcoming Sunday Mass. The idea of the Preacher's Sketchbook is to take quotations from the authority of the Church--the Pope, the Fathers of the Church, documents of the Councils, the saints--that can help spark ideas for the Sunday homily. Just as an artist's sketchbook… » More

Parable of the Wicked Husbandmen
Origin
For perchance in the Gospel the vineyard is the kingdom of God, that is, the doctrine which is contained in holy Scripture; and a man's blameless life is the fruit of the vineyard. And the letter of Scripture is the hedge set round the vineyard, that the fruits which are bid in it should not be seen by those who are without. The depth of the oracles of God is the winepress of the vineyard,… » More

1. Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1803
A virtue is an habitual and firm disposition to do the good. It allows the person not only to perform good acts, but to give the best of himself. The virtuous person tends toward the good with all his sensory and spiritual powers; he pursues the good and chooses it in concrete actions."The goal of a virtuous life is to become like God." (St Gregory of Nyssa)… » More

"Workers in the Vineyard." Jacob Willemsz de Wet. 1640
Benedict XVI
Perhaps you remember when, on the day of my election to the pontificate, I addressed the crowd in St. Peter's Square and I presented myself, in an off the cuff way, as a worker in the Lord's vineyard. Well, in today's Gospel (cf. Matthew 20:1-16a), Jesus recounts the parable of the owner of the vineyard, who at different hours of the day calls laborers to come work in his vineyard.… » More

Perugino, Pietro, "Christ Handing the Keys to St Peter" (1481-82)
St. Augustine:
Do you see how dangerous it is to keep silent? He dies, and rightly dies; he dies in his own wickedness and sin; his own heedlessness kills him. Yes, the one who says "I live, says the Lord," would like to find a living shepherd. But since he has been heedless, not being warned by the one who was given charge and made a watchman for this very purpose of warning him, he will die justly,… » MoreTwenty-Second Sunday of the Year (Year A)

Duccio's Jeremiah
St. Iranaeus, from Fragments 37
The Lord instituted a new oblation in the new covenant, according to [the declaration of] Malachi the prophet. For, from the rising of the sun even to the setting my name has been glorified among the Gentiles, and in every place incense is offered to my name, and a pure sacrifice (Malachi 1:11); as John also declares in the Apocalypse: The incense is the prayers of the… » MorePage 1 of 13 pages 1 2 3 > Last Page »
