Producing fruit in the vineyard

The texts today from the Roman Catholic Lectionary point out the long history of the desire of people to be in relationship with the Divine in the manner of the peace and prosperity of the Garden from the Book of Genesis. This story is the tension between the Creator who prepares the rich vineyard for the creatures and the desire of people to pursue their own plans in be in charge of their destiny and wealth. This vineyard is planted among the house of Israel and the people of Judah in the time of Isaiah with the will of God that it be a model and a home for all people, thus attracting many to a deep relationship with God and producing much fruit in the Divine mission to restore humanity to God. However, the prophet reflects that the care and direction of God is rejected by the people and the vineyard produces "wild grapes". Isaiah's prophesy is that the vineyard will go to ruin as God observes the abandonment of the plan which was supposed to bring justice but the people chose bloodshed. It was to be a righteous society but the Observer hears the people cry. The psalmist implores the Lord of the vineyard to look again and restore the relationship with humanity who desire to return to the time of the Divine favor in their lives. Paul describes the  characteristics of the life lived in relationship with God through Jesus. It is living in the grace and peace of God where things that are true, honorable, just, pure, excellent, and worthy of praise grow in the vineyard and are modeled for all to see. All are invited to join the workers of Christ in the vineyard. The Gospel of Matthew which was written to the Jewish community who had chosen to follow Jesus and found themselves ejected from the synagogue. The heir who is killed by the unfaithful tenants is Jesus and Matthew presents Jesus warning that the rejected Messiah will become the 'cornerstone" of the new vineyard where the fruits of peace and love described by Paul will grow and flourish for the restoration of the world to God.
