The Gospel this Sunday is called the Parable of the Vineyard Workers. But more accurately, it can also be called the Parable of the Generous Landowner. His action greatly surprised everyone. How can he give those hired very late in the day the same salary as those who worked the whole day? There seems to be no fairness here. However, fairness is not the issue here. Those hired early in the day were paid the right salary as agreed upon with the owner. Justice has been served. Instead, the issue here is generosity.

Whenever the issue of generosity comes up, it evokes both a positive and a negative response. The positive response is trust. In the parable, those hired early in the day were confident in the security provided by the formal contract with the owner. It was a business deal. But for those hired much later in the day, there was no mention of a contract: ” Going out about five o’clock, he found others standing around, and said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’ They answered, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You too go into my vineyard.’” (Mt 20:6-7). The workers relied on the word of the owner, and trusted that he would give them whatever is right. And they were not mistaken.

Apostle, Evangelist and Witness to the Mercy of Christ

St. Matthew was one of the twelve Apostles chosen by Jesus and the traditional author of the Gospel that bears his name. Before following Christ, however, Matthew lived a very different life. He was a tax collector in Capernaum, a profession that made him unpopular among his fellow Jews.

Tax collectors worked for the Roman authorities and were often associated with corruption and dishonesty. Because of this, they were frequently regarded as sinners and outsiders. Yet Jesus saw Matthew differently. The Gospel tells us that Jesus saw Matthew sitting at the customs post and simply said to him, “Follow me.” Matthew rose and followed Him.

Fun Fact: I know how to dance Thriller and I really like Spiderman!

Why I serve: I know that God gave me the possibility to be an instrument of his goodness, and I love demonstrating this by providing help, advice, or even just a smile to people that could be suffering, overwhelmed, you never know! That is how God works, he invites everyone to be happy and welcomed!
