27th Sunday of O.T. The Parable of the Tenants and Vineyard. From Jean Cardinal Danielou:
"God is the husbandman, expecting, hoping, desiring such great things from us. He prepared the soil in which our souls were to grow up and flourish; he ceases not to nourish, protect and encourage their growth, all our lives long. Every circumstance of our environment is an instance of God's care for us."

26th Sunday of O.T. The parable of the two sons. From Yves de Montcheuil, French chaplain executed in 1944:
"God's demands on us can make us grow; he can ask of us tomorrow what he did not ask yesterday and so these demands engage us constantly in new ways."

25th Sunday of OT, Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard. From St. Pope Paul VI: "Let us do good, but without expecting a reward. Let us sow and bear witness. Testimony is the beginning of an evangelization which touches the heart and transforms it. Words without testimony do not work, they are useless! Testimony is what brings and validates the word."

24th Sunday of OT, The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant. From St. Augustine: "There are two works of mercy which will set us free. They are briefly set down in the gospel in the Lord’s own words: Forgive and you will be forgiven, and Give and you will receive. The former concerns pardon, the latter generosity. As regards pardon he says: “Just as you want to be forgiven, so someone is in need of your forgiveness.” Again, as regards generosity, consider when a beggar asks you for something that you are a beggar to in relation to God. When we pray we are all beggars before God. We are standing at the door of a great householder, or rather, lying prostrate, and begging with tears. We are longing to receive a gift – the gift of God himself."
