On Matthew 21: 33-43 

What if the very stone rejected by builders became the foundation of our salvation? On Father Simon Says, Fr. Richard Simon explores a fascinating connection between Calvary and one of Scripture’s most powerful messages.

Fr. Simon explains that Calvary was a former quarry just outside Jerusalem's walls, and the Romans used a large outcropping of rock for executions because the stone was too soft for construction.

That rejected rock became "the cornerstone", the site of Christ's Crucifixion.

The biblical image carries a powerful lesson for our daily lives. Sometimes the people, opportunities, or challenges we dismiss may be precisely where God is inviting us to grow.

Fr. Simon encourages listeners to prayerfully discern what God might be asking of them rather than immediately rejecting what seems uncomfortable.

The message extends beyond circumstances to the dignity of every human person.

“Never look at anyone and think, well, this person's unimportant. No one is unimportant.”

Just as God brought salvation through the Cross, He can work through people the world overlooks.

The challenge? Look again at the people you've dismissed. You might discover something precious in God's eyes.
