Jesus calls Herod a fox". Foxes are animals "that make havoc with the vineyards".
Jesus tells us how such damage occurs. _"You refused". Only our un-willingness can" come between us and the love of Christ".
By our ‘yes’, God "will not refuse anything he can give" along with his Son.
In the First Reading St Paul says “We are reckoned as sheep for the slaughter" - sheep who "triumph" over the fox.
"Father, Fill our hearts with love and mercy for others that we may boldly witness to the truth and joy of the gospel by word and example, through Christ our Lord."
