God Loves You more than you can imagine!

Cloë I know it's been a few days since we were at Mass on Sunday, but I am still having trouble understanding the Gospel we heard.

Before we discuss what you don't get, let's recap the Gospel.

So what are you having problems with Tallulah?

I just don't get why the master paid the exact same amount of money to the guys who worked for only an hour as the guys who worked all day! That is really not fair. Like when you get a treat, I definitely should get one too!

First of all, do you remember what a parable is?

Yes I do. It is a story that Jesus would tell the people to teach them some kind of lesson.

Exactly. So what lesson do you think He was trying to teach with this parable.

That if you work for that master, be smart enough to show up at the end of the day because you'll get paid the same but not have to do much work.

Who do you think the master in the story represents?
 God?!

Now you are starting to understand. And who do the labourers represent?

All the people?!

Yup. What about the money that the master paid?

I have no idea!

It represents God's mercy and love for everyone. Jesus is telling us that God loves everyone. 

And whether you know God from the time you are little or you only meet Him at the end of your life, He will love you and welcome you into Heaven.

That's pretty amazing, but it still does not seem fair.

You are right Tallulah, if you think about it using your dog (or human brain) it isn't fair. But luckily God is about love and forgiveness and second chances, otherwise Heaven might be quite empty!

Yeah that makes sense. People sure are lucky!

You got that right!

Woof!
