Today’s reflection

Good morning. As we gather today, let us take a moment to settle into our own hearts... to reflect on the experience of being called to something greater. Perhaps, like many of us, you have felt the weight of expectations, the burdens that life brings.

Peter encourages us to make every effort to complement our faith with virtue, knowledge, self-control, endurance, and love. Each of these qualities is a step towards deeper connection with God and with each other.

Then we enter the Gospel, where Jesus shares a parable about a vineyard. The owner of the vineyard represents God, who entrusts us with His creation, with our relationships, and with our own lives.

May you leave this space today with a heart open to the grace and love that surrounds you. May you find the courage to cultivate those virtues that lead you closer to Him. Amen.
