God has entrusted us with a vineyard—creation itself. But have we cared for it as faithful tenants, or have we acted as if it were ours to exploit? In today’s reflection, we explore Jesus’ parable of the vineyard, the wisdom of St. Francis, and the urgent call of Pope Francis in Laudato Si’. From climate justice to local action in Hartford, we ask: What must we change—today—to honor the gift of creation before it is too late? Join us as we move from reflection to action this Lent. friars.us. Matthew 21:33-43, 45-46
