Friday Week 2 of Lent March 21, 2025 Matthew 21:33-46 The tenants of the vineyard in today’s Gospel are expected to tend and care for it. They are only temporarily in possession of the vineyard. We are only temporarily given stewardship of the Earth. What will we leave behind for those who come after us? Are we heeding the warning voices or do we ‘kill the messengers’ by silencing a free press and defunding science? As our planet continues to experience climate change, causing fires, floods, severe storms and droughts, leaving more and more citizens of the Earth homeless and hungry, how will we answer when things finally implode, and we are called to make an account?
