Dear sisters and brothers,

Have you ever tried to explain something important, only to feel completely misunderstood?

There is a wonderful story about two men from Mars who decide to do a little sightseeing on Earth. They realize that to avoid causing a panic they must appear as inconspicuous as possible. They obtain American clothing, learn the language, and in general make themselves as ordinary as possible.

During their first day on Earth nobody notices a thing unusual about them. At the end of the day they celebrate their successful foray at an exclusive restaurant. As they are paying their check, they are astonished to hear the waiter say, “You guys must be from Mars!”

“What?” asked the dumbfounded Martians. “How can you tell?”
“Well,” replied the waiter, “you’re the first customers to pay cash since I’ve been working here.”

Jesus experienced this too. When people refused to listen, He told a parable to help them understand their role and responsibility in God’s kingdom.

This weekend, come hear God’s Word, reflect on our role as faithful stewards, and renew your relationship with Christ. The parable of the Wicked Tenants is Jesus’ way of reminding us who we are and whose we are, and above all why we are.

Come and break bread with us this weekend as we continue with our message series, “CHRIST” and reflect on “R” the third letter of the above mentioned acronym which stands for “Retreat”.

Looking forward to seeing you in church,
Fr. William Rosario
Pastor
