Fr. Greg's Notes
Dear Friends,
What is your response to the parable we heard this weekend about the landowner hiring workers at different times during the day and paying them the same wage? (Matt 20:1-16a). Like the past few weeks Jesus continues trying to teach us how to live in the reign of God. It’s a challenge. Jesus tells us to work out our differences, not hold grudges and learn to forgive. It’s different than how we are used to living. Again, Jesus comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable.
What do we do with a God who challenges us, sometimes angers us, and causes us to think and re-think?
Here is one way that I deal with the challenge of trying to live in the reign of God when it doesn’t seem fair. I know that God answers my prayer in three ways: “Yes,” “Not yet,” and “I have something better planned for you.”
Peace,
Fr. Greg
