Twenty-Fifth in Ordinary Time - September 20, 2020
How Things Work in the Kingdom of Heaven. This parable about kingdom living may rile us up. God is as generous to the late-comers to kingdom work as to those who labored longer and, perhaps, harder. Really? It is true. God is so generous, so loving, so good - with ways and thoughts above our thoughts.
