Thanks Mary for your reflection. I also like this parable…especially the last line. “Are you envious because I am generous?” We often grumble when we don’t get what we think we deserve. But let’s not forget…God’s ways are not our ways. I think this should also remind us not to judge others. We never know what they do or don’t deserve. God bless us all!

Thank you Mary. We appreciate you giving us insight to the logic of the Gospel…most of us have difficulty accepting the imbalance of work to pay. God’s plan is not our plan…He knows the value of all the work we put in…no grumbling…He know what He’s doing. Peace with you my sister.

Thank you Mary. This is one of my favorite parables. I learn something new each time it is pondered or discussed.

I also have had trouble understanding and accepting this gospel message but over time and with the help of others explanation have come to understand and accept it better. Thanks Mary for your clarification.
