THANK YOU TO ALL FAITHFUL MEMBERS DONATING, COOKING, SERVING AND PARTICIPATING AT OUR ANNUAL FALL FESTIVAL!

This seemingly simple parable upends the world of the chief priests and elders.  They thought they were models of holiness—now they must learn the “way of righteousness” from tax collectors and prostitutes.  They thought they already had a foot in the kingdom; now they must stand in line behind notorious sinners who converted their lives.  This is what conversion does: it upends our world and challenges us to change our minds. our hearts, and our lives and to do the father’s will.  From the last several Sundays, many of the narratives and parables have described the graciousness, generosity, and mercy of God toward us.  This Sunday highlights the importance of our response to God: whether we do God’s will or not is our choice.  This is visible with many of good, faithful servants have contributed financial means, times, and talents to the festival.  This defines Christian discipleship and willing to commit building a community here at St. Paul Parish.  I praise and thank God at all daily masses and prayers for all of you.  I know and treasure you in my heart.  You are good and faithful disciples.  You are willing to say YES and DO IT.
