Mark 12: 1-12

Jesus began to speak to the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a wine press, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and left on a journey. At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants to obtain from them some of the produce of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed. Again he sent them another servant. And that one they beat over the head and treated shamefully. He sent yet another whom they killed. So, too, many others; some they beat, others they killed. He had one other to send, a beloved son. He sent him to them last of all, thinking, 'They will respect my son.' But those tenants said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.' So they seized him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come, put the tenants to death, and give the vineyard to others. Have you not read this Scripture passage:

The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
by the Lord has this been done,
and it is wonderful in our eyes?"

They were seeking to arrest him, but they feared the crowd, for they realized that he had addressed the parable to them. So they left him and went away.

Dawg's Thought:

Today's prayer intention - for those who are discerning their vocation.

"They will respect my Son ... "

Heavenly Father, in our desire to Your servants,
help us to remember that while we may toil,
it is ultimately Your Son Who all are called to respect.
All good and loving Father,
Christ has died and is risen from the dead.
Yet, the evil one still prowls the world
looking to lure more into saying,
"I will not serve."
Help us remember that we are participants
in the works of Your Son,
so that we may serve freely
knowing that the work we participate in
is also work that will lead us to share in the inheritance
of Your Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Take care and God Bless.
