Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time:
Life isn’t fair! If I had one dollar for every time I said that to myself, out loud or silently, I would be able to help pay off the state's bloated debt. Well, maybe not so true, after all, life isn't that unfair.
But that favorite phrase of many folks does have some truth to it. In fact, life most certainly can be unfair to some but our own personally interpretation of “fairness” is what seems to give so many “legs” to that phrase. Today's Gospel reiterates our idea of human fairness and calls us now to consider how we see fairness in light of God's view or employment of fairness.
