In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 20, Jesus tells the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard. The landowner hires laborers at various times of the day, meaning some work many hours and others very few. Yet, at the end of the day, everyone receives the exact same daily wage. The Lord concludes, "Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last." This illustrates that while some of us turn to the Lord early in life and others much later, we all receive the same ultimate gift of heaven.
