Before this class, you should have read Chapter 2 in your Grade 5 books.
Lectionary: 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A
Isaiah 55:6-9
Matthew 20:1-16
The theme for this Sunday is the Sacrament of Penance and God's forgiveness. Do you have something related to this theme for the altar? Bring it in.
Today's readings remind me of the disaster in Texas this weekend. What does God say about people who will not listen? What does God say about his mercy and second chances?

Saint of the Day: Our Lady of Sorrows
At the cross her station keeping,
Stood the mournful mother weeping,
Close to Jesus to the last.
Through her heart, his sorrow sharing,
All his bitter anguish bearing,
Now at length the sword has passed."
