mass reflections
In today’s homily, Father Zach shared with us St. Rose of Lima’s story. He told us how she wanted to be a nun and her father didn’t approve because he wanted her to be safe and healthy. Finally, her father gave in and let her join the holy order. In the Gospel today, Jesus tells us how a landowner was generous to every worker and gave them their daily wage. The workers who had been there since the beginning were jealous of those who worked for an hour. The moral that I received from the story is the cure for envy is generosity.
Gabriela Lacen-Morales 8A
Today Father Zach talked about the story of the workers and a fair wage. There was a worker who worked all day and collected his usual wage and a worker who worked for an hour. They both received the same amount and the worker who worked all day got jealous because both got the same wage. You should be happy with what you get and not worry about what others get. Father Zach also talked about St. Rose of Lime. She was a happy woman because she knew God was always with her. People search for happiness their whole lives and it always slips away. They need to realize that God is their happiness and will never slip away.
