Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard

Generosity of God, The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard, by Marcellino D'Ambrosio, otherwise known as Dr. Italy, and read by the same.

But that's not fair.

Most parents have heard this phrase umpteen times.

This is the EveryCatholicMan.com Gospel Devotional, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith, and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic son and Catholic father.

Today we hear Jesus call men to fruitfulness, and he reveals the mysterious generosity of God in the parable of the laborers in the vineyard.

We'll reflect upon the need for every Catholic man to grow in the virtue of obedience so he can grow in conformance to Christ's holy Catholic Church.

We'll also reflect upon the importance for every Catholic man to grow in the virtue of justice so he can always strive to give God and every soul their due.

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Well, let's see what Jesus is accomplishing in this wonderful parable of the laborers in the vineyard.

Having already told the disciples, many that are first will be last in the last first, Jesus reveals that in the gospel of Matthew chapter 19, verse 30.

But it's more so the passion behind the scripture and the kind of urge that we have, not to find the next best thing as much as it is just to keep digging and, and read stuff.

And, and I told JT it's one thing that grew me into the Torah community when I was in Parable of the Vineyard and, uh, alongside Adam Fink, is the, the readings.

You know, the, the, the line-by-line readings and everything.

And people just-- They, they were edified by it.

Fairness is a wonderful human attribute we learn when we're young and demand of each other as we grow.

In Matthew chapter 20, Jesus shares the parable of the vineyard workers.

In part one of today's program, we learned that this parable is a glimpse at the character of God who is not fair, but he is good.

And that really is good news.

Fairness is a wonderful human attribute we learn when we're young and demand of each other as we grow.

In Matthew chapter 20, Jesus shares the parable of the vineyard workers to give us a glimpse of the character of God.

At first glance, this story may seem surprising.

It doesn't seem fair in our human understanding, but we need to remember that God is not fair, but he is good.
