And they killed him anyway.Joseph's brothers saw the beloved son approaching in his colorful robe. Here comes that master dreamer. Let us kill him. They stripped him, threw him into a pit, and sold him for twenty pieces of silver.Jesus told a parable about tenants who killed the landowner's servants one after another. Finally he sent his son. When they saw him, they said: This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and acquire his inheritance.The chief priests understood immediately that Jesus was speaking about them. They knew he was claiming to be the Son. And within days, they would prove the parable true.But God transforms what humans mean for evil. The pit becomes a path to the palace. The cross becomes a throne. The rejected stone becomes the cornerstone.📖 ReadingsFirst Reading: Genesis 37:3-4, 12-13a, 17b-28aResponsorial: Psalm 105:16-17, 18-19, 20-21Gospel: Matthew 21:33-43, 45-46⏱️ Timeline00:00 Introduction00:15 Reading I - Genesis 37:3-4,12-13a,17b-28a02:21 Psalm Response - Psalm 10506:24 Gospel - Matthew 21:33-43,45-4608:11 Reflection - They Killed the Heir🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?
