SECOND CHANCE

Friday of Second Week of Lent Year C Matthew 21:33-43, 45-46 Today’s Gospel is known as the parable of the wicked tenants. We are like the tenants in the parable. We are only stewards! We are provided by God with everything we need to make our vineyard prosper. However, we destroy His generosity by our greed. Friends, as long as greed is stronger than compassion, there will always be suffering. The message is very clear: we cannot stop God’s mercy to reach us. Amidst of our wickedness He will always give us chances to prove that we could be better even after we fall. Second chance is not ussually a happy ending but chance to end things right. God is very patient with our failures. He will keep sending messengers bringing on an invitation of love and mercy. The Lord wants us to return to Him and that He is willing to forgive us when we do. This is the season of Lent all about. Our conversion is the joy of the master. Finally, when you are hurt by others, never take a revenge. Violence can be destroyed by mercy. Alway wish well of others. My dear friends, be the best not the beast! Blessings Fr. Jhack
