¿Cómo compaginar la bondad a partir de la parábola de hoy?

Monsignor Salvador Martínez explains how the parable of the workers in the vineyard illustrates the difference between worldly standards and the criteria of the Kingdom of Heaven. Writing for Desde la Fe, Martínez notes that while the world views the wealthy as first, the Kingdom views those who left everything to follow Jesus as the first.

Martínez clarifies that the landowner in the parable acted justly by paying the first workers the agreed amount of one denarius. He suggests that if the parable were strictly about labor, the owner would struggle to find workers at the end of the day. Instead, the story shows that God extends goodness to those who may seem undeserving, just as He does to those considered highly deserving.
