I remember growing up as one of five children. There were many occasions when my parents had to divide something among their children. I can recall one particular Sunday. My uncle was visiting my grandmother for her birthday. He brought with him seven layer cookies; my favorites. My mom opened the box and proceeded to give out the cookies. I noticed that everyone at the table had at least one more cookie than I did. I immediately cried out that it “wasn’t fair.” My uncle reminded me that I had the largest cookie; actually two cookies stuck together. “It’s not fair”, the professor hears from the best students when he or she generously puts the grades on a curve to benefit those who did not do so well. Most of us have met people like the workers who have arrived first in today’s Gospel parable. They are people who are unhappy with the good things they have, unhappy with the good things others have, and generally skilled at letting everyone know about their unhappiness; and that’s putting it mildly. The worker’s in this story made everything about them and what they should receive; what their idea of justice and fairness should be. Envy and jealousy are strong emotions that can block our ability to see the goodness and blessings that have been received. All throughout our lives we will receive the same “wages” as those who we might think are less deserving. Everyone receives the same “wages” because the point is not to reward me for whom I am, but to change me to like Jesus; a person of love, a person who does not judge, a person who is fair and just, a person of mercy and compassion and one who is generous. We are not here to set terms and conditions, but to be grateful and rejoice at what are given; not only to us but to all people. The Kingdom of Heaven is for all who believe, whether you are a cradle Catholic or a deathbed conversion. In the face of God’s abundant generosity and goodness, our only response should be one of thanks.

Matthew: 20:1-16a Jesus told his disciples this parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out at dawn to hire laborers for his vineyard. After agreeing with them for the usual daily wage, he sent them into his vineyard. Going out about nine o’clock, the landowner saw others standing idle in the marketplace, and he said to them, ‘You too go into my vineyard, and I will give you what is just.’ So they went off. And he went out again around noon, and around three o’clock, and did likewise. Going out about five o’clock, the landowner found others standing around, and said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’ They answered, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You too go into my vineyard.’ When it was evening the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Summon the laborers and give them their pay, beginning with the last and ending with the first.’ When those who had started about five o’clock came, each received the usual daily wage. So when the first came, they thought that they would receive more, but each of them also got the usual wage. And on receiving it they grumbled against the landowner, saying, ‘These last ones worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who bore the day’s burden and the heat.’ He said to one of them in reply, ‘My friend, I am not cheating you. Did you not agree with me of the usual daily wage? Take what is yours and go. What if I wish to give this last one the same as you? Or am I not free to do as I wish with my own money? Are you envious because I am generous?’ Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last.

IL GAZIO DI DIO NON è come se lo sguardo è malato degli Stati Uniti(Matteo 20: 1-6) Gesù aveva parlato chiaramente con i suoi discepoli: "Cerca il regno di Dio e la sua giustizia". Per lui questo era l'essenziale. Tuttavia, non lo hanno visto cercare quella giustizia di Dio, adempiendo le leggi e le tradizioni di Israele come altri insegnanti. Una volta li avvertì: "Se la tua giustizia non è superiore a quella degli scribi e dei farisei, non entrerai nel regno di Dio". Come ha compreso Gesù la giustizia di Dio? La parabola che gli aveva detto li lasciò sconcertati. Il proprietario di un vigneto ripetutamente uscì alla piazza della città per assumere lavoratori. Non volevo vedere nessuno senza un posto di lavoro. Il primo gruppo ha lavorato sodo per dodici ore. L'ultimo arrivare ha lavorato solo sessanta minuti. Tuttavia, alla fine della giornata, il proprietario ordina a tutti di ricevere un denaro: nessuna famiglia sarà lasciata senza cena quella sera. La decisione sorprende tutti. Come possiamo qualificare le prestazioni di questo gentiluomo che offre un'equa ricompensa per un tale lavoro irregolare? Non è ragionevole protestare coloro che hanno lavorato per tutta la giornata? Questi lavoratori ricevono lo stipendio stipulato, ma vedendo il generoso trattamento di questi ultimi, si sentono autorizzati a richiedere di più. Non accettano uguaglianza. Questa è la loro lamentela: "Lei ha trattato loro proprio come noi". Il proprietario della vigna risponde con queste parole al portavoce del gruppo: "È il tuo occhio male perché sono buono?". Questa frase riflette l'insegnamento principale della parabola. Secondo Gesù, c'è un aspetto cattivo, malato e dannoso, che ci impedisce di afferrare la bontà e l'amore di Dio e gioire con la sua infinita misericordia verso tutti. Siamo riluttanti a credere che la giustizia di Dio consista precisamente nel trattare con un amore che è soprattutto i nostri calcoli. Beh, non è vero? Con Dio le cose sono a un prezzo diverso. Questa è la Grande Notizia rivelata da Gesù. Quello che non avremmo mai sospettato e quello che ci serviva tanto da ascoltare. Nessuno si presentasse davanti a Dio con meriti o diritti acquisiti. Siamo tutti accolti e salvati, non per i nostri sforzi, ma per la sua inattaccabile misericordia. Gesù era preoccupato che i suoi discepoli vivevano con gli occhi incapace di credere nella sua bontà. Una volta ha detto loro: "Se il tuo occhio è malato, tutto il tuo persona sarà scura se la luce in te è tenebra, quanto oscura volontà.". Noi cristiani abbiamo dimenticato. Ciò che la luce sarebbe entrare nella Chiesa, se abbiamo avuto il coraggio di credere nella bontà di Dio, senza tagliare il nostro sguardo malato! Che gioia riempire i cuori credenti! Che difficile seguiremo Gesù! Peguntémonos Oggi, io sono invidioso con mio fratello, perché è meglio, perché fai bene, perché ha una posizione di rilievo nella comunità, ho l'invidia perché l'altro è del server, incontra la gente, è un leader nella comunità? Come è il nostro modo di guardare le cose che accadono intorno a me?

LA MIRADA DE DIOS, NO ES COMO LA MIRADA ENFERMA DE NOSOTROS (Mateo20,1-6)

Jesús había hablado a sus discípulos con claridad: "Buscad el reino de Dios y su justicia". Para él esto era lo esencial. Sin embargo, no le veían buscar esa justicia de Dios cumpliendo las leyes y tradiciones de Israel como otros maestros. Incluso en cierta ocasión les hizo una grave advertencia: "Si vuestra justicia no es mayor que la de los escribas y fariseos, no entraréis en el reino de Dios". ¿Cómo entendía Jesús la justicia de Dios? La parábola que les contó los dejó desconcertados. El dueño de una viña salió repetidamente a la plaza del pueblo a contratar obreros. No quería ver a nadie sin trabajo. El primer grupo trabajó duramente doce horas. Los últimos en llegar sólo trabajaron sesenta minutos. Sin embargo, al final de la jornada, el dueño ordena que todos reciban un denario: ninguna familia se quedará sin cenar esa noche. La decisión sorprende a todos. ¿Cómo calificar la actuación de este señor que ofrece una recompensa igual por un trabajo tan desigual? ¿No es razonable la protesta de quienes han trabajado durante toda la jornada?

Estos obreros reciben el salario estipulado, pero al ver el trato tan generoso que han

recibido los últimos, se sienten con derecho a exigir más. No aceptan la igualdad. Esta es su queja: «los has tratado igual que a nosotros». El dueño de la viña responde con estas palabras al portavoz del grupo: «¿Va ser tu ojo malo porque yo soy bueno?». Esta frase recoge la enseñanza principal de la parábola. Según Jesús, hay una mirada mala, enferma y dañosa, que nos impide captar la bondad y el amor de Dios, y alegrarnos con su misericordia infinita hacia todos. Nos resistimos a creer que la justicia de Dios consiste precisamente en tratarnos con un amor que está por encima de todos nuestros cálculos. Pues no es así? Con Dios las cosas son a otro precio.

Esta es la Gran Noticia revelada por Jesús. Lo que nunca hubiéramos sospechado y lo

que tanto necesitábamos oír. Que nadie se presente ante Dios con méritos o derechos adquiridos. Todos somos acogidos y salvados, no por nuestros esfuerzos sino por su misericordia insondable. A Jesús le preocupaba que sus discípulos vivieran con una mirada incapaz de creer en esa Bondad. En cierta ocasión les dijo así: "Si tu ojo es malo, toda tu persona estará a oscuras. Y si la luz que hay en ti es oscuridad, ¡qué oscuridad habrá!". Los cristianos lo hemos olvidado. ¡Qué luz penetraría en la Iglesia si nos atreviéramos a creer en la Bondad de Dios sin recortarla con nuestra mirada enferma! ¡Qué alegría inundaría los corazones creyentes! ¡Con qué fuerza seguiríamos a Jesús! Hoy peguntémonos, soy envidioso con mi hermano, porque es mejor, porque le va bien, porque tiene un puesto importante en la comunidad, tengo envidia porque el otro es servidor, reúne personas, es líder en la comunidad? Como es nuestro modo de mirar las cosas que suceden a mi alrededor?
