“When those who started at 5:00 came, they received the usual daily wage. But when the first came, they also got the usual wage. And on receiving it they grumbled against the landowner saying “These last ones worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who bore the days burden and heat.” Matthew 20:9-12. St. Maria Goretti
said, “He loves. He hopes. He waits. Our Lord prefers to wait for the sinner for years rather than
keep us waiting an instant.” Let us pray, O Jesus, I thank You for your mercy! Even those who
never gave You a thought can on their deathbed find Your mercy and gain all the riches of eternal life. Maybe they have had the harder task, not knowing You until the last hour. We thank You
that we are judged in mercy. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
