“Why be envious because I am generous”?

Today’s Gospel goes far beyond our human sense of justice. The owner of the vineyard pays all his workers the same despite having worked different hours. This seem so unjust to our narrow way of looking at things.
But in the parable, Jesus is giving us a picture of the generosity of God. God’s goodness and love goes beyond human justice. It has no limits.

Our only response to God’s generosity is humble thanksgiving. There is no point in trying to compare ourselves to one another. Instead, we are invited to acknowledge that all we are and have is a gift from God who is boundless in mercy, goodness and love.
