~ REFLECTION ~
Every now and then our Sunday celebration reminds us more than usual of God’s lavish and generous love. Today the Gospel presents the parable of the generous landowner and the workers in the vineyard, with the latecomers getting paid as much as those who worked all day. The message is that it’s simply never too late to experience God’s mercy and forgiveness. Today let us pray in gratitude for God whose generosity is so compelling.
~ REFLEXION ~
De vez en cuando nuestra celebración dominical nos recuerda más de lo habitual acerca de lo espléndido y generoso que es el amor de Dios. Hoy el Evangelio presenta la parábola del propietario generoso y los trabajadores en la viña, los cuales recibieron el mismo salario de un día entero, aun si habían llegado tarde. El mensaje aquí es sencillamente que nunca es tarde para experimentar la misericordia y el amor de Dios. Expresemos hoy en oración nuestra gratitud a Dios, cuya generosidad es tan plausible.

“A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His LOVE than in your weakness.” “Un sacrificio para ser real debe costar, debe doler, y nos debe vaciar. Entregate completamente a Dios. El te usara para cumplir grandes cosas con la condicion que tu creas mas en Su AMOR que en tu debilidad.” St. Mother Theresa
