  Dear Parishioners,

  In the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard, a landowner hired workers throughout the day, and at the end of the day, all of the workers are paid the same wage, regardless of how long they worked.

  We are all called to work in God’s vineyard, but the reward is not in the amount of work we do or how long we have been doing it. The reward is found in the relationship we have with God and the joy of doing His will.

  Let us remember that God’s ways are not our ways, and His sense of justice may not always align with ours. Let us strive to work in His vineyard with joy and humility, knowing that our reward is found in the relationship we have with Him.

  Peace be with you!
  God Bless,
  Fr. Cyrus
