(In the Philippines, the second Sunday of October is dedicated to the Indigenous Peoples)
Readings: Isaiah 5: 1 -7; Philippians 4: 6-9; Matthew 21: 33-43
Gospel Passage: “42 Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the scriptures: 'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes'? 43 Therefore, I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit.” (Matthew 21: 42-43)
Meditation: The chief priests and the elders of his people rejected Jesus yet God has made him the very cornerstone of the kingdom. Whoever believes in Him is given the power to be God’s children and the reign of God lives in him/her. And the reign of God in us should grow and expand and bear fruit.
Today, we accompany the Indigenous Peoples who continue to aspire for their own ancestral domain and right to live according to their customary laws within the said domain.
