The Week from Saturday 19^th September 2026

Clergy Thoughts: Twenty-fifth Sunday in OT year A, 20th September 2026 (Is. 55:6-9; Phil. 1:20-24, 27; Mt 20:1-16) In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus’ parable of the vineyard workers scandalises our deep sense of fairness. Those who bore the heat of the day, receive the same wages as the late comers. But the parable is not about labour relations, fair pay or anything like that! It is about the breath-taking generosity of a God who gives not according to our merit but according to his abundance. Grace, by definition, cannot be earned and God’s mercy to us and others is always a mystery. Finally, the Holy Spirit works in us to make us cheerful givers, but he also works in us so that we are happy receivers of God’s grace and mercy. Deacon Ken.
