Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time October 5, 2014
Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.— Philippians 4:6
As usual, today’s first and third scripture readings are obviously related, with the second
continuing one of Paul’s Letters—these days, the Letter to the Philippians. The vineyard
stories from Isaiah and Matthew both talk about evildoers coming to a bad end. In Isaiah,
it’s the vineyard itself that produces “wild grapes” instead of the crop the owner dreamed
of and worked for. So it will be “trampled” and “overgrown with thorns.” In Matthew, those
to whom the owner leased the vineyard destroy the dream. So the owner “will put those
wretched men to a wretched death and lease his vineyard to other tenants” (Matthew 21:41). Yes, if we reject divine love
we come to a bad end. And with all this talk of the unfaithful being trampled and thrown out, it’s consoling to hear Paul’s
message to the Philippians, who were by no means perfect. “Have no anxiety at all,” Paul said. “Then the God of peace
will be with you” (Philippians 4:6, 9). The sacrament of penance has a long and difficult history. The Church sometimes
struggles with how best to be faithful to the image of an all-forgiving God. Once a very public rite with publicly visible
participation on the part of the penitent, it became in time a very private matter. By the fourteenth century, when a prayer
of absolution and a laying on of hands was still required in sacramental confession, theologians were saying that even
that was too much liturgy. All that was required was confession itself, and the sacramental words Ego te absolvo, or “I
absolve you.”
In 1614 the Council of Florence tried to flesh out this bare skeleton, requiring that if possible the priest should wear a
stole, that the confession should be in church, and that there be questions about the person’s state in life, occupation,
and last confession. This is the first time the Church recommended that the penitent and priest be separated by a grill,
thereby eliminating the ritual laying on of hands once so central to the sacrament, substituting the priest’s raised right
hand in blessing. This is the rite that remained in force until the sacrament became the subject of very stormy debates at
the Second Vatican Council, leading to a major reform in 1974 that is still only partially received.
