    25th Sunday in Ordinary Time Homily – September 20, 2020

      25th Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)

      INTRO:

      Growing up with brothers or sisters…I am sure you all experienced it ….. THE OLDER ONES always got privileges!!!
      *like staying up later
      *or staying out LONGER

      It’s so typical that the younger would say:
      “This isn’t fair!!!”

      Well, obviously the impression that things aren’t fair was happening in JESUS’S day…..people wanted EQUAL PAY, screaming THIS ISN’T FAIR!!!

      BUT, this story has nothing to do about labor management relations.

      This Gospel is meant to take our breath away and ask WHAT KIND OF GOD DO WE HAVE who goes out of His way to FIND ALL PEOPLE to embrace, to hold up, and to offer the sustenance of His great MERCY, to treat all equally.

      This is to be OUR WAY OF LIFE, TOO………….. We are to imitate God:
      To stop judging others for:
      • Who they are
      • What they believe
      • How they act
      • What color of skin do they have
      AND
      • IN THIS CRAZY CLIMATE who they are voting for

      CONCLUSION:

      We are called to be merciful, loving human beings, resting in God’s mercy and offering that same mercy equally to ALL people.
