Forsake the ways and thoughts of the world<\/em><\/p>\n

Jesus teaches us to forsake the ways and thoughts of the world.\u00a0 Replacing them with those of God, we become fools before the world, yet wise before God.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To forsake the needy is a sure sign that one follows the ways and thoughts of the world.\u00a0 And the parable of the rich fool shows that the rich man lives by them.<\/p>\n

The rich man is a fool, according to God, but not according to the world.\u00a0 The world considers wise the affluent people who are locked up in themselves.\u00a0 Concerned about their wealth and well-being only, they keep hoarding goods and being merry.\u00a0 That is why they do not know how brief life is and they lack wisdom of heart.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the landowner in today’s gospel refuses to forsake the unemployed.\u00a0 He goes out five times to hire workers for his vineyard, which suggests a bountiful harvest.\u00a0 But the harvest does not leave him self-absorbed and indifferent, but rather open and caring towards the not so fortunate.<\/p>\n

And not only does the landowner not forsake anyone who is idle.\u00a0 He, moreover, makes the late-comers equal to the early-comers.\u00a0 The latter have surely toiled more than the former.\u00a0 But he cares more about the workers’ needs than the work they have done.\u00a0 That is why each worker receives what he, along with his family, needs each day to survive.<\/p>\n

No, the vineyard owner cannot forsake the workers who are not getting a living wage.\u00a0 He does not want them working, as many do today, yet unable still to meet their basic needs.<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly, the landowner stands for the ways and thoughts of the kind and generous God.\u00a0 And what matters to God is that we live in a way worthy of Christ’s Gospel of the kingdom of God.\u00a0 This life is the wage on which God and his co-workers agree.<\/p>\n

God does not want to forsake us without our enjoying this life.<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

The life worthy of the Good News is full communion with God and our fellow human beings.\u00a0 We prepare for this fellowship by behaving according to the beatitudes, neither conforming to the world nor being haughty.\u00a0 And we hasten it, taking the way that teaches that to be first is to be the slave of all.\u00a0 We receive, besides, a pledge of it, of the future glory, when no one among us go hungry or thirsty.<\/p>\n

Lord Jesus, let us not forsake anyone in need.\u00a0 May our feet be beautiful upon the mountains as we do what you did.\u00a0 In that way, we will go from earth to heaven (SV.EN XII:80<\/a>).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
