SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 25th Sunday
DESCRIPTION:A reading from \nST AUGUSTINE \n◊◊◊ \nThe gospel story about the vineyard workers is appropriate to this time \nof year\, the season of the earthly grape harvest. But there is also another \nharvest\, the spiritual one\, at which God rejoices in the fruits of his vineyard. \nThe kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out to hire men to \nwork in his vineyard. In the evening he gave orders for all to be paid\, beginning \nwith the last comers and ending with the first. Now why did he pay the last \ncomers first? Will not everyone be rewarded at the same time? We read in \nanother gospel passage how the king will say to those placed on his right hand: \nCome\, you whom my Father has blessed: take possession of the kingdom prepared \nfor you from the foundation of the world. \nIf all\, then\, are to receive their wages together\, how should we understand \nthis statement about those who arrived at the eleventh hour being paid first\, and \nthose who had been working since daybreak being paid last? If I can say \nanything to further your understanding\, thanks be to God. Give thanks to him \nwho teaches you through me\, for my own knowledge is not the source of my \nteaching. To take an example\, then\, let us ask which of two workers receives his \nwages sooner\, one who is paid after an hour\, or one who is paid after twelve \nhours? Anyone will answer: “One who is paid after an hour.” So also in our \nparable. All the workmen were paid at the same time\, but because some were \npaid after an hour and others after twelve hours\, the former\, having had a \nshorter time to wait\, may be said to have received their wages first. \nThe earliest righteous people like Abel and Noah\, called as it were at the \nfirst hour\, will receive the joy of resurrection at the same time as we do. So also \nwill others who came later\, Abraham\, Isaac\, and Jacob\, and those contemporary \nwith them\, called as we may say at the third hour; Moses and Aaron and those \ncalled with them at the sixth hour; and after them the holy prophets\, called at the \nninth hour. At the end of the world all Christians\, called at the eleventh hour\, will \nreceive the joy of resurrection together with those who went before them. All \nwill be rewarded at the same time\, but the first comers will have had the longest \nto wait. Therefore\, if they receive their reward after a longer period and we after \na shorter one\, the fact that our reward is not delayed will make it seem as though \nwe were receiving it first\, even though we all receive it together. \nIn that great reward\, then\, we shall all be equal-the first to the last and the \nlast to the first. For the denarius stands for eternal life\, in which all will have the \nsame share. Although through diversity of merit some will shine more brilliantly \nthan others\, in the possession of eternal life there will be equality. What is \nendless for all will not be longer for one and shorter for another. What has no \nbounds will have none either for you or for me. Those who lived chastely in the \nmarried state will have one kind of splendor; virgins will have another. The \nreward for good works will differ from the crown of martyrdom; but where \neternal life is concerned there can be no question of more or less for anyone. \nWhatever may be the individual’s degree of glory\, each one will live in it \neternally. This is the meaning of the denarius.
