Thought for the day: The forty-two parables in the Gospels are designed to take us up short and make us think again. Today’s parable is a good example. The actions of the employer and the treatment of the workers simply would not work today as a labour relations strategy and would also not have worked in the time of Jesus. And what is the point? Really that it doesn’t matter when we come to the Gospel, early, middle or late, by routes direct or circuitous, in full stride or falteringly: all that matters is that we come to the Gospel. Achievement counts for nothing; grace is everything, thanks be to God! Prayer: The door of faith is always open and you welcome us, O God, whenever our hearts are open. We are grateful for your loving patience and generosity.(www.tarsus.ie)

Pope Francis on X: The Lord Jesus has entrusted the Gospel to us so that we might bear His light into the world’s darkness. Please, do not extinguish this light in you, but share it, so that fraternity might shine forth!

Prayer of Blessed John Henry Newman:
O Lord, support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen, the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then, Lord, in thy mercy, grant us a safe lodging, a holy rest, and peace at the last.
