The Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard, Matthew 20: 1-16, which appears as today's Gospel resonates with us as we wrestle with the question of fairness: Why DID those last hour laborers receive the same wage as those hired first? Many's the time when envy surfaces as we look to the Powerball winner, the person getting the raise, the aches and pains we carry, while others course through life pain and illness free? Where is the fairness?
The answer is simple: It's God's call. And we are not God!
