Our Weekly Reflection/Nuestra reflexión seminal Mrs. (Sra.) Terry Navarro
Workers in the Vineyard Very often I feel like the workers who worked all day and received the same pay as those who hardly worked; it really doesn’t seem fair. The problem is that I am not thinking as God does. (Remember the lesson from August 30?) God’s fairness and generosity are no comparison to mine. How fair and generous am I? It is easier for me to be generous with someone I judge to be worthy of my generosity. There are certain causes I donate to regularly and I believe that this is a good practice. I cannot give money to every organization that sends me a request in the mail. I believe we must consider prayerfully how to use our funds. I am talking about other opportunities to be generous. Am I always generous in my attention to others? Am I more generous to someone I know than to a stranger? Do I pay more attention to those I know than those I do not? Do I act differently with people who look or sound different than I do? Do I feel generous to someone holding a sign on the street corner asking for money? After all I work hard for my money, why can’t or don’t they get a job and work? Again, this is not God‐like thinking. I’m sure glad God doesn’t think like I do. I surely do not deserve or did I earn or work for all the many, many graces and blessings God has given to me and continues to give me daily. God doesn’t judge me the way I judge others! This is exactly the point Jesus is making in the parable in today’s gospel. God is generous beyond our way of thinking. God gives out of pure love over and over again. We are all workers in God’s vineyard here on earth. Actually we are co‐workers in the vineyard of the Lord. That means I am supposed to work with Jesus in all I do. I must model the actions of Jesus with, to and for others. It shouldn’t matter when I entered the vineyard to work. The vineyard is plenty big and there is enough work for each of us. I have been invited in and must do my best every day to be the best co‐worker I can be. Jesus, help me to be as generous to others as God is with me!
Trabajadores de la Viña Muy a menudo me siento como los trabajadores que trabajaron todo el día y recibieron el mismo salario que los que apenas trabajaron. Realmente no parece justo. El problema es que no pienso como Dios. (¿Recuerdas las lecturas del 30 de agosto?) La justicia y la generosidad de Dios no se pueden comparar con las mías. ¿Cuán justo y generoso soy? Es más fácil para mí ser generoso con alguien que considero digno de mi generosidad. Hay ciertas causas a las que hago donaciones regularmente y creo que esta es una buena práctica. No puedo dar dinero a todas las organizaciones que me envían una solicitud por correo. Creo que debemos considerar en oración cómo usar nuestros fondos.
Hablo de otras oportunidades para ser generoso. ¿Soy siempre generoso en mi atención a los demás? ¿Soy más generoso con alguien que conozco que con un extraño? ¿Presto más atención a los que conozco que a los que no? ¿Actúo de manera diferente con personas que se ven o suenan diferentes a mí? ¿Me siento generoso con alguien que lleva un cartel en la esquina pidiendo dinero? Después de todo, trabajo duro por mi dinero, ¿por qué no pueden o no pueden conseguir un trabajo y trabajar? Nuevamente, este no es un pensamiento divino.
Estoy seguro de que me alegro de que Dios no piense como yo. Seguramente no merezco ni gané ni trabajé por todas las muchas, generosidades y bendiciones que Dios me ha dado y continúa dándome a diario. ¡Dios no me juzga como yo juzgo a los demás! Este es exactamente el punto que Jesús está haciendo en la parábola del evangelio de hoy. Dios es generoso más allá de nuestra forma de pensar. Dios da por puro amor una y otra vez. Todos somos trabajadores de la viña de Dios aquí en la tierra. De hecho, somos colaboradores en la viña del Señor. Eso significa que se supone que debo trabajar con Jesús en todo lo que hago. Debo modelar las acciones de Jesús con, hacia y para otros. No debería importar cuándo entre al viñedo para trabajar. El viñedo es bastante grande y hay suficiente trabajo para cada uno de nosotros. Me han invitado y debo hacer todo lo posible todos los días para ser el mejor compañero de trabajo que pueda ser.
Jesús, ayúdame a ser tan generoso con los demás como Dios lo es conmigo.

Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios ¿Qué es un salario justo? Pudiéramos decir que es un pago proporcionado a la cantidad de trabajo ejecutado; pero en la parábola de hoy aprendemos que la visión de Dios acerca de un salario justo está muy por encima de nuestra visión. Según la visión de Dios el salario justo es lo que necesita una persona para vivir diariamente, o sea, para hacerle frente a su “desafío cotidiano”. Según la justicia de Dios el valor de una persona (o su paga) no lo determina su laboriosidad, su rectitud, estatus o salud, ni tampoco queda determinado por lo que una persona posee o hace. El valor humano se basa solamente en nuestra misma cualidad y condición como ser humano. A los ojos de Dios no es “justo” que una persona reciba menos que el salario necesario para vivir diariamente con dignidad. ¿Es generoso el dueño de la viña? Ciertamente que sí. A los ojos de Dios, sólo esa generosidad indiscriminada sería lo verdaderamente justo. La visión de justicia de Dios está intrínsecamente vinculada a su generosidad y por tanto requiere la generosidad nuestra. Ya sea que nos refiramos a “la paga” espiritual o material, aquí o en el más allá, Dios quiere pagarnos no según lo merezcamos, sino de acuerdo a lo que necesitamos. Todos tienen derecho a un salario justo a los ojos de nuestro Dios generoso.

Reflecting on God’s Word What is a just wage? We might say it is pay proportionate to the amount of work performed, but in today’s parable we learn that God’s view of a just wage is high above our view. It is the wage a person needs to live on for one day: the “daily wage.” In God’s view of justice a person’s worth (or pay) is not determined by industriousness, righteousness, status, wealth; not by anything a person has or does. Human worth is based only on our personhood. It is not “just” in God’s eyes for anyone to receive less than the wages needed to live each day in dignity. Is the landowner generous? Yes, certainly. In God’s eyes, only such indiscriminate generosity would be truly just. God’s view of justice requires God—and us—to be generous. Whether we are speaking of spiritual or material “pay,” here or hereafter, God wants to pay us not according to what we deserve, but according to what we need. All are equally worthy of a just wage in the eyes of our generous God.
