Question: When God judges you, based on the following, do you see yourself on the receiving end of God's great justice, or His generosity?
Last Sunday we read the Gospel about the vineyard workers. Early in the morning, the master of the vineyard and the early workers settled on a just wage for a day's work. Throughout the day, the master kept bringing in additional workers, ups to the final hour. At the end of the hour he paid everyone the same just wage that was settled at the beginning of the day. Those who worked all day complained and master basically told them his generosity to others was none of their business.
In today's Gospel, Jesus' tell everyone that his mother, brothers, and sisters were those who hear the word of God and act on it. Jesus elevates those who act on the word of God into his family. Scripture notes that the word of God is written on all hearts. Once again, we witness generosity.
