Questions:
"Like wine, our lives are meant to be something good and enticing. When we live as Jesus wants, by striving to become holy, we should become like magnets. People should see our joy and peace and desire to have the same thing in their lives. Simply by the way we live as followers of Jesus, we should draw people closer to God. In carrying out this mission, we do not act as God’s puppets. We are tenants. God trusts us and gives us freedom. It is a privilege to be able to participate in God’s work of salvation. Though we are not puppets, we are also not in charge."
Q1: Is there someone in your life that inspires you to be a better person? Why do you think others are drawn to this individual?
"In killing the landowner’s son, the tenants wanted to take control of the vineyard for themselves. Humanity’s great temptation is to push God out of the picture and try to take control of nature and civilization."
Q2: Is there evidence of this happening in the world today? Explain.
"The reality is that we are tenants, all we have is a gift from God: nature, our bodies, our mind, our creativity and our talents. We are given these things in order to fulfill God’s mission."
Q3: What talents/gifts do you have? How can you use these to enrich the lives of people around you?
"Consider saints such as St. Francis or Mother Teresa who produced such great wine in their life. In their lives people saw a glimpse of Jesus and were drawn to follow him. Do our lives have the same effect on people? Jesus’ parable of the vineyard provokes us to answer a simple question, “does the way I live attract people closer to Jesus and the Church or not?”"
Q4: How have St. Francis and/or Mother Teresa shown glimpses of Christ to others? What can I do to live in a way that attracts others to Christ?

1. Journal entry. Reflection on Sunday's Gospel Matthew 22: 1-14
- Five main points summarizing sermon.
- Please write in full sentences.
Questions:
"We must respond to the invitation. Though some accept the invitation, others reject it in three different ways. 1) Some ignore the invitation, keeping busy with their work. Today it is very tempting to push God out of our lives because we are to busy with other things. 2) Others violently reject the invitation. Now, as was the time with Jesus, people strongly reject God, Jesus and their kingdom of love, peace and mercy by living lives of hatred, violence and greed. 3) Finally, one arrives at the banquet but is rejected because he is not wearing a wedding garment. This detail, which can seem quite confusing, is very significant. This wedding garment symbolizes conversion. Jesus explains that the acceptance of God’s invitation into His kingdom involves more than merely saying “yes”. When we truly chose to be part of the kingdom of heaven, which is God’s love, we begin to change our lives"
a) Which scenario do you feel is the case for you? Explain?
Jesus explains that the acceptance of God’s invitation into His kingdom involves more than merely saying “yes”. When we truly chose to be part of the kingdom of heaven, which is God’s love, we begin to change our lives.
b) What are some things you must do or change in your life in order for you to truly say "yes" to Jesus?
With His strong language, Jesus is trying to protect us from harm. Just like that those new fire alarms, Jesus isn't just trying to warn us of danger, He is trying to compel us to take action.
c) Consider the times in your life when you "sensed" that you needed to do something. You may think it was a nudge from God or your "6th sense" kicking in. Describe the situation. Have you ever been compelled to take action? What prompted you to do so?
