As we go through life we often recognize differences between our lives and the lives of others. We may notice how someone else may get what we wanted, or we may want what someone else has. It’s possible that we may have the same thing as others but somehow, we had to work harder to get it and it seemingly was easy for them. We might think these things are unfair. We might be upset, bitter, or angry about it.
If you had experiences like these, then you also may know how the early workers in the parable of our Gospel passage felt... Listen to my homily to learn more!
Readings: Is 55:6-9; Ps 145; Phil 1:20c-24, 27A and Mt 20:1-16A
Key Themes: Jealousy, Envy, Generosity, Mercy, Love
Let us take the next moment of silence to offer any jealousy and envy, and any other sins we struggle with, to God, along with ourselves, and ask Him to grant us an increase in generosity, mercy, and love. Let that be our daily prayer this week and let us also thank our Lord for the great gift of Himself in the Most Holy Eucharist.
