Join Me and Bring This Series to Your Area! --Jack Rigert
“And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace; and he said to them, ‘You too go into my vineyard’” (Mt 20:3-4). From that distant day the call of the Lord Jesus “You too go into my vineyard” never fails to resound in the course of history: it is addressed to every person who comes into this world.[1]
You go too. The call is a concern not only of pastors, clergy, and religious. The call is to each of us, the laity! A new state of affairs today both in the Church and in social, economic, political and cultural life, calls with a particular urgency for the action of the lay faithful. If lack of commitment is always unacceptable, the present time renders it even more so. It is not permissible for anyone to remain idle. “And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing; and he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’ They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You too go into the vineyard’” (Mt 20:6-7).
This Series will inspire and educate parishioners to understand their role “to go out” and as importantly, it will provide the “Apostolic Formation” necessary, including the vocabulary, to confidently “give a reason for our hope.”
Very exciting to fulfill both the call to make disciples and missionaries “you too go out”…but also answer the 2022 call for a Eucharistic Revival! And it seems that you cannot have a Eucharistic Revival without our Blessed Mother!
This series is dedicated to Our Blessed Mother and includes her role as our spiritual Mother and draws from Saint John Paul II’s teaching on the Eucharist “the heart of the mystery of the Church”.
