Two Brothers: Yes and No? 26th Sunday of Ordinary Time (A), October 1, 2023

Today's parable could have been snatched from any one of our homes as we were growing up: two brothers...one says yes but does nothing, the other says no but does get to work. The impact of the parable on the priests and elders to who Jesus directs it must have been hard-hitting to say the least once he explains it to them. It is also a pointed reminder to us that when it comes to the Gospel, we, too, have to "walk the talk." 

Homily delivered to the Saint Francis Catholic Community in Cuenca, EC.
