Voice of Saint Michael September 20, 2020
Today’s gospel certainly will stir up opinions and could be a great conversation starter. It just seems so unfair and unjust to us that those who toiled in the vineyard since dawn were paid the exact same wage as those who started their labor many hours later. Our sense of justice tells us that those who worked longer should be paid more. Isaiah simple tells us, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your way my ways, says the Lord.” I have to admit that this stings a little. The gospel is not about justice or fairness but rather it is a parable about God’s generosity that is beyond all measure. Did you ever notice that when we are on the receiving end of someone’s generosity we very seldom complain? However, when we are not on the receiving end – we find it so unfair – we find it so unjust – but in essence it is because we are jealous. We are jealous and envious of another’s generosity. This becomes even more complex when God is the generous one. If we have been faithful to the teachings of the Church since our childhood, gone to Mass weekly, and tried to live a good and moral life – something does not seem right when a notorious sinner returns and is received with joy and forgiveness. “Wait a minute,” we think, “I have followed the rules for years and here comes this Johnny come lately and it is as if he was in good standing all his life.” This is hard for us to accept. Jesus reminds us that our God is generous in many ways including forgiveness. We are called not to be jealous of others, but rather to rejoice in God’s generous gifts. It is often hard for us to understand, but God gives us everything that we need – not everything that we want. This dose of spiritual reality is difficult for us to swallow. I ask you to pray over this parable this week and think about the many ways that God has been generous to you. We have all been blessed with gifts whether at dawn, at nine, noon, three or five. It does not matter when we encountered the Lord, what does matter it that we did and Christ bestowed on us the gift of everlasting life. “Seek the Lord while he may be found, call him while he is near.”
In Christ’s love, Fr. Frank

Have you ever thought that you were guaranteed something and it didn’t quite work out? Maybe you thought you were going to get an A in math and you ended up getting a B. Or you thought you would be picked for the main part
in a play and the part went to someone else? I remember when I was little, I wanted to be in the Christmas play at church. I wanted the role of Mother Mary. I thought for sure the pastor would pick me. He was our friend, he liked me and he knew that I knew all of my prayers. I was surely going to get selected as the main role. However, when it came time to choose the parts, no matter how high I raised my hand and how enthusiastic I was to play Mary, the priest picked another girl and he made me an angel. I was so sad. I remember I asked the priest why he didn’t pick me. I reminded him how I knew all my prayers, I was always on time and I had NO fear of being on stage. The priest smiled at me and said, “I’m so sorry. You are so right. You have amazing qualities to play Mary but I have to give this to the other girl. You will make an amazing angel.” I accepted my fate and took my role – after all, being an angel was very important too! This story from my childhood reminds me of the parable (a story Jesus told to explain something clearly) from the Gospel reading in Matthew. The workers came in at different times of the day. Some worked all day and some only worked for a few hours but at the end of the day, the land owner gave them all the same amount of money. Some of the people were upset to learn this. The ones that worked all day wanted more money and didn’t think it was fair that the people that worked a few hours got the same amount of money. However, Jesus told this story to help them to understand something very important. He wanted the people to realize that whether you love God for one year or for your whole life, all that matters is that you find Him and love him. You will live eternally as long as you believe in Him. Isn’t that peaceful to know that God’s love and kindness is the same for all of us? Even though I may not have gotten the role of a lifetime (according to me), I was able to be an angel and tell a beautiful story about Jesus’ birth. Maybe the priest chose that other girl because he wanted her to connect to Jesus. The priest knew I had Jesus in my heart, but maybe the other girl needed that extra push to feel connected to Him. Let’s pray: Father, help me to guide others to you. Help us to know that there is nothing in life that is more important than a personal relationship with Jesus.
At some point in our lives, we’ve probably all felt the bitterness of unfairness. Today’s readings agree that life isn’t always fair—yet, unexpectedly, invite us to rejoice! We rejoice because God’s mercy is totally unfair: God lavishes us with forgiveness and love even when we deserve less. Both the reading from Isaiah and the psalm praise the great mercy of God, mercy that forgives our sins over and over. In the Gospel parable, Jesus demonstrates that God longs to give good things to all of us, even to those who seem less worthy. When Saint Paul reflects on God’s goodness, embodied in Jesus Christ, he can hardly wait to enter his heavenly reward. Jesus’ parable depicts workers who “punch the clock” at various times throughout the long day: dawn, nine, noon, three, and five o’clock. Regardless of when they began working in the vineyard, the laborers all receive the same reward. The reward seems lavish to the latecomers, of course, and shockingly unfair to the long-faithful workers. The landowner soothes his most dutiful laborers, however, delighting in them as friends and transforming their bitter confrontation into a reflection on generosity. The laborers who arrived at five o’clock might have been late to the job, but those who began at the crack of dawn were last to understand the extravagant bounty of the landowner. Seen in this way, the parable discusses not only God’s generosity toward “unworthy” believers, but also the Lord’s inexhaustible patience toward those who thought they had nothing more to learn. We take comfort in knowing that God accompanies us in our labors—and works for us—whether we struggle with caring for our bodies, striving for patience, avoiding gossip, making time for prayer, being generous, overcoming addiction, remaining in recovery, or simply attending to our daily work. Jesus shows us that he actively engages with us each time we fall short and remain our Lord or generous compassion and mercy.

A note from Deacon Tony Cocco: Having just completed the Baptismal rite of a baby boy, I was leaving the church and noticed a group of Baptism Attendees in the parking lot. After saying some complimentary things about the Baptismal rite, one of the men mentioned that he had not been to church for some time. I proceeded to tell him about the recordings of our daily Mass and Sunday Mass for our parishioners to participate in. He commented about the group of people who immediately began to sanitize the doors, railings, pews, and door handles. I told him that these were parishioners who volunteer to do this before and after every Mass, wedding, funeral and any special occasion. He just said, “Wow! That is pretty impressive.” We here at St. Mike’s, take so much for granted and count me in that group. I would like to suggest to everyone that we take every opportunity to say thank you to the many volunteers who give of their time and energy to make our place of worship safe. This is truly a ministry that gives glory to God. Your presence is a gift to all of us.

2020 SVdP Fall Bundle Weekend OCTOBER 3 + 4
It’s back! Our St Vincent de Paul team’s Bundle Weekend is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, October 3rd & 4th before and after all masses. We collect usable clothing, household goods and craft supplies. The trailers will be in the parking lot and are staffed by our SVdP members and student volunteers. We will unload the boxed and bagged items from your trunk and follow all current Covid 19 safety guidelines. Thank you for your donations that benefit so many families and individuals in need.
The Golden Wedding Anniversary Mass that was scheduled to be celebrated on Sunday, September 13, 2020, will need to be cancelled to better ensure the health and safety of all involved during this COVID-19 pandemic. Know that we truly regret the cancellation of this celebration, as the commitment of 50 years of marriage is not only a significant and heartfelt milestone for the couples and their families, but for us as a Church. While it is not possible for an in person celebration this year, we cannot overlook the deep need to honor them in their commitment to the Sacrament of Marriage. It would be greatly appreciated if each parish could still gather information regarding who the Jubilarians are as well as their email and physical mailing addresses. Register by going to : https://pvm.archchicago.org/events/golden-wedding or call Pat Chuchla at St. Michael at 708-873-4652. Cardinal Cupich will be recording a video of congratulations that will be distributed to the Jubilarians via email. In addition, the Office of Lifelong Formation will issue a certificate in honor of the jubilarians to be sent to their physical home address. It is our hope to be able to celebrate the 2020 Jubilarians during the 2021 Golden Wedding Mass. More information on this celebration will be provided as it becomes available.
Are you celebrating 50 years of marriage this year?
WEEKLY STEWARDSHIP RECOMMENDATION: Encourage Elected Officials to Take Action
Legislators want to hear from their constituents on issues:
Contact your legislator about a particular Creation care issue by phone, letter, email, fax, or social media. Be brief, concise, specific. Let them know you are a constituent. Tell your legislator what effect you think a particular issue or bill, if it becomes law, will have on you, your children, or community. Cover only one issue per call or letter. Also suggest a course of action. It’s important to be polite. If legislators don’t hear from you on an issue, they assume it’s not important to you. 70 million Catholics can be a powerful force for change. Let’s get active!

Voice of Saint Michael September 20, 2020
El evangelio de hoy de seguro agitará opiniones y podría ser un gran inicio de conversación. Pues nos parece tan injusto que quienes trabajaron en la viña desde el amanecer se les pagó exactamente el mismo salario que a quienes empezaron su labor muchas horas más tarde. Nuestro sentido de justicia nos dice que quienes trabajaron más deberían se pagados más. “Porque no son mis pensamientos vuestros, ni vuestros caminos son mis caminos, dice el Señor”. Debo admitir que esto pica un poco. El evangelio no es sobre la justicia o equidad sino que esta es una parábola sobre la generosidad de Dios que va más allá de toda medida. ¿Se han dado cuenta que cuando estamos a lado de la generosidad de alguien, por lo regular no nos quejamos? Sin embargo, cuando no estamos al lado de recibir – lo vemos tan injusto – pero en esencia es porque estamos celosos. Estamos celosos y envidiosos de la generosidad del otro. Esto se hace aún más complejo cuando Dios es el generoso. Si hemos sido fieles a las enseñanzas de la Iglesia desde nuestra niñez, hemos ido a Misa semanalmente y tratado de vivir una vida buena y moral – algo no parece correcto cuando un pecador notable regresa y es recibido con alegría y perdón. “Un momento”, pienso, “Yo he obedecido las reglas por años y aquí viene este Juanito tarde y es como si él estuviera en buenos términos toda su vida”. Esto es difícil de aceptar. Jesús nos recuerda que nuestro Dios es generoso de muchas maneras, incluyendo el perdón. No se nos llama a ser celosos de los demás, sino a regocijarnos en los dones generosos de Dios. Esto es por lo regular difícil que entendamos, pero Dios nos da todo lo que necesitamos – no todo lo que queremos. Esta dosis de realidad espiritual nos es difícil pasar. Les pido que recen sobre esta parábola esta semana y pensar sobre las muchas maneras que Dios ha sido generoso con ustedes. Todos hemos sido bendecidos con dones ya sea al amanecer, a las nueve, tres o cinco. No importa cuando encontramos al Señor, lo que sí importa es que lo encontramos y Cristo derramó sobre nosotros el don de vida eterna. “Busca al Señor mientras se pueda encontrar, llámalo mientras está cerca”.
