First Reading — Turn to the LORD who is generous in forgiving (Isaiah 55:6-9).

Psalm — The Lord is near to all who call upon him (Psalm 145).

Second Reading — Live your lives in a way worthy of the gospel of Christ (Philippians 1:20c-24,

27a).

Gospel — The last will be first, and the first will be last (Matthew 20:1-16a).

DIRECTION Isaiah tells us something that we already know, and yet seem to

forget every now and then. He tells us, essentially, that God is God

and we are not. When we’re confused and troubled and can’t figure

everything out, it might be wise to recall Isaiah speaking on the

Lord’s behalf and explaining that God—who is on a much more,

well, Godly wavelength than we are—moves in ways we can’t even

imagine.

Saint Paul, by comparison, has everything figured out. Kind of.

At least he understands his calling in life—to magnify Christ in eve-

rything he does. That should give all of us the direction we need.

Jesus gives us direction, too, explaining to us once again in the par-

able of the workers in the vineyard that the last will be first, and the

first, last.
