Cada uno necesita el denario que Dios nos da.

St. Augustine taught that eternal life serves as a reward that makes all people equal, according to a reflection by Néstor Mora Núñez.

Writing for Religión en Libertad, Núñez cites St. Augustine's Sermon 87 to explain that while individuals may shine with varying degrees of intensity based on their merits, the gift of eternal life remains equal for everyone. The text uses the denarius as a metaphor for this divine reward, noting that in the afterlife, the last will be as the first and the first will be as the last.
