A meditation by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Ellerton Center in Toronto, preached on July 4th, 2026.
Mt 20:1-16: Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard.
For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. From that early moment, he went out many times after. 9 a.m., He went out again about noon and about three p.m. Then again about five p.m. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ “‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. “He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’
Even at the end of our life, God calls us.
