¿Vas a tener tú envidia porque soy bueno?: Comentario del P. Jorge Miró

Catholic Intelligence1 min read

Father Jorge Miró shared a commentary on the Gospel for Sunday, September 20, 2026, regarding the parable of the vineyard workers. Writing for Exaudi, Miró explained that the parable challenges human logic by presenting God's way of operating through gratuity rather than merit.

Miró noted that while the world often functions on meritocracy, where everything must be earned or bought through effort, the Kingdom of God relies on grace. He stated that being a Christian means recognizing that everything a person is and has is a free gift from the Lord. He suggested that God's method is rooted in humility and that the central message of the parable is found in the Lord's question about whether one will be envious of His goodness.
