صلاة الملاك، 20 أيلول/سبتمبر 2026

During the Angelus prayer on September 20, 2026, the Holy See shared reflections on the Sunday liturgy, focusing on the themes of divine mercy and the unpredictable nature of God's plans.

The message highlighted the prophet Isaiah's teaching that God's thoughts and ways differ from human understanding. The reflection noted that God's plans are more humane than those humans can imagine, despite human sinfulness. This serves as a call for people to turn away from crooked paths and return to a God defined by mercy and forgiveness.

The reflection also addressed the parable of the workers in the vineyard from the Gospel of Matthew. It explained that the landowner intentionally instructed his steward to pay the workers starting with the last and ending with the first. This action was intended to demonstrate that God's goodness is available to everyone rather than a select few. The message concluded that God has new ways of reaching those who believe they have earned their status or deserve specific results based on their own merits.
