The reading from Isaiah declares that God's ways are so far above our ways, and the Gospel sheds further light on how incomprehensible His ways are. In the parable, as the landowner, He gives everyone who works in His fields the same payment of a day's wages, whether they worked one hour, or all day.
It really doesn't make any sense, but God doesn't abide by our business mentality--reflecting words from Father Bart's homily at St. Thomas Aquinas Parish in Madison, WI. His grace issues forth upon us in great abundance. It is a gift that can't be measured because it is so priceless, with a value above all else, for it brings us life, and draws us into the work of His plan for this world. He is earnestly seeking for us to come to Him to experience it, calling us to come to Him, because He is near--right here among us. And His grace meets our need for abundant Life.
