Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle A
The Sunday gospel in everyday English
Jesus told the disciples a parable: “God’s kingdom is like an estate manager who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. . . . When the day’s work was over, the owner of the vineyard instructed his foreman, ‘Call the workers in and pay them their wages. Start with the last hired and go on to the first.’
