It’s probably the case that none of us enjoy being supplicants. We all tend to work for a wage we consider just (if and when possible) and expect to be paid for our labor. When we see acts of generosity, it can be natural to expect that we might receive some of that generosity as well. It sounds strange to hear it said that someone is generous only with one group and not another. And such is the seeming riddle of today’s parable.
God is a just and generous giver. When we receive what we have from God, there is no room for complaint, jealousy, or envy. The gifts of God are given to whom God wills. Let us die to our own sense of who is just and worthy in God’s sight and leave room to be surprised by Divine generosity. None of us can predict the actions of God. – Living Liturgy
