Recruiters
By: Fr. Jarrod Waugh, CSC, Pastor
It is clear to me that the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard’s primary message is a lesson for “seasoned” Christians not to resent those who come to the Gospel later in life. I think there are probably two main audiences for this message. Firstly, for Jewish Christians who may be tempted to look down on Gentile converts who have not spent their lives following the Law and studying the Scriptures. Perhaps the converts’ ignorance of “all that had come before was annoying or frustrating for those who had practiced the faith of the Forebears for decades. “Who was that Moses guy, again?” *sigh* A second audience is probably those in a situation that is still familiar today. Some people have been following Jesus “from the beginning” (at least from the beginning of Jesus’ preaching ministry), while others have only just recently started following Jesus.
The notion of preferential treatment for the elder/ older/ more experienced is a pretty universal custom, whether it be for village elders or inheritance for the first-born son.
One aspect of the reality of the Christian life that is beyond the scope of the Parable is that, when we become Christians (at whatever age), we don’t typically go away somewhere and become sequestered from the rest of the world. It isn’t that Jesus is back in the town square hiring people while we are way out in the hills at the vineyard. The town square IS the vineyard. As is every other place where we Christians live and work. The main voices that call people to come and work for Jesus in our own time are OUR voices. So we do the work of minding the vineyard, which has now completely merged with the call of the Landowner.
We call to others to come join the work, that is, to receive the Baptism of Salvation and the anointing of the Spirit that sets us on fire to spread the Good News.
Prayer for a New Bishop
Almighty and ever-living God, in your faithfulness, grant to the Diocese of Colorado Springs a shepherd whose watchful care and kindly zeal will continue the good work of his predecessors.
In your love for us, give us a shepherd who will lead us in being Christ’s heart of mercy, voice of hope, and hands of justice. Let him who is chosen to be our shepherd strive to live more and more each day with holiness of life and heroic virtue so that he will lead your holy people in all truth.
Prepare him, we humbly pray, to fill our minds and hearts with the truth of the Gospel, the power of the sacraments, and the desire to actively work to build up your holy Church.
Loving God, grant our Holy Father Pope Leo wisdom in discernment as he chooses a new bishop for this local Church. By your divine providence, grant us a shepherd after the heart of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, whose benevolent care and zealousness will strengthen the people of God.
We ask this through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Diocese of Colorado Springs, and in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

The Colorado Bishops have issued a statement on immigration titled "Welcoming the Stranger, Protecting the Common Good." Click the logo to read the full statement.
“As Catholic Bishops of Colorado, we approach the issue of immigration with prayerful hearts, seeking to guide our communities in a spirit of charity, justice, mercy, and prudence. The call to welcome the stranger is woven into the fabric of our faith, and in standing with immigrants, it is our first concern that they know the love of Jesus Christ and their dignity as human beings. We also recognize the responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities, as well as passing on the teaching of the Church on immigration to those who govern.”
