I offer you the Kingdom of God.

Dear Family of Mary!
Today’s Gospel is Mt 10:1-16. Jesus teaches about the owner of a vineyard who hires workers throughout the day, and in the end pays them all the same wage. This story flies in the face of good stewardship!! You can’t run a business like that!!! And how do the workers feel who worked the entire day?
But we know that Jesus was talking about the Kingdom of God in this parable. The end of the day prefigures the entrance into that Kingdom. We all desire to enter that Kingdom. And Our Lady desires this for us. And of course, each person in the parable who got the same wage, was actually getting eternal life with God! Not one of them could have earned that! Heaven is a gift beyond counting!! So the wages were and are incalcuable!!
Here are two messages from Our Lady in which she talks about the Kingdom of God! Let her words speak to our hearts. She wants us to have the Kingdom of God in our hearts even now and then to enter the Kingdom of God, just like those workers!
July 2, 2010 “Dear children; my motherly call, which I direct to you today, is a call of truth and life. My Son, who is life, loves you and knows you in truth. To come to know and to love yourself, you must come to know my Son; to come to know and to love others, you must see my Son in them. Therefore, my children, pray, pray, that you may comprehend and surrender with a spirit that is free, be completely transformed and, in this way, may have the Kingdom of Heaven in your heart on earth. Thank you!”
August 2, 2010 “Dear children! Today I call you, together with me, to begin to build the Kingdom of Heaven in your hearts; that you may forget that which is personal and, led by the example of my Son, think of what is of God. What does He desire of you? Do not permit satan to open the paths of earthly happiness, the paths without my Son. My children, they are false and last a short while. My Son exists. I offer you eternal happiness and peace and unity with my Son, with God; I offer you the Kingdom of God. Thank you.”
Yes, Mother Mary, we want to be those workers who approached the Landowner to ask for work. Morning, noon, or evening – what ever stage of life we are in – we want to approach the Landowner (Our Lord and God) and ask for work. We want to be His in such a way that we will get the same daily wage, entrance into God’s Glorious Kingdom! We know that you want this too. Guide us to our Heavenly King, and present us to Him as His humble laborers. We say yes! Please hire us, Lord!!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
