Jesus tells the parable of the landowner who pays his laborers one denarius each no matter the amount of work that did that day. Ending the story with the familiar adage, “the last will be first, and the first will be last”. A message of radical generosity for all the created. This is also reflected in old testament reading from Jonah, where Jonah is displeased that God shows the Ninavite’s mercy. The truth is we all fall short and stumble, but it is God’s radical generosity that gives us the grace to see deserving in all. “The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.”
