Sunday 24 September

25th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Isaiah 55:6-9, Psalm 145, Phillippians 1:20-24,27, Matthew 20:1-16

Holy attitude

In a Christian life, time and effort are not necessarily rewarded by God. Indeed they can become diversions if my life is not dedicated to God. Making the most of my time requires more attitude than effort. Am I willing to put aside some time to contemplate God’s love and actually love its seeming nonsensical generosity? St. Paul and Isaiah did this. These people are my ancestors in faith. Is my love of God deep enough and generous enough to be passed on to my children and grandchildren?
