Match between words and deeds

In today’s world, it works by being superiors and those to whom it is commanded. It is therefore quite normal that the employer sends his work where he needs, his father-son…
Today’s gospel begins in a somewhat unconventional way, with the question Jesus asked: “What will you say it? ”(Mathew 21:28). With this question, he wants to provoke us to be, so we know, and so often heard the parable of the two sons not only heard and caught again, but they also thought about him.
A father sends his two sons to work in his vineyard. One replied, “I’m going, Sir, ” but in the end, he did not go; the other did not want to, but then regretted it and corrected it by that he went to the vineyard. Which of these did the Father’s will? (cf. Mathew 21: 28-32). From this parable, the first son, the reverent one who cares for outward flawlessness and behaves towards his father very nicely, should have imagined the Pharisees who speak but do not act. We would be here nowadays to include those Christians who want to gain God’s favor and reward with beautiful words, words, flattery, but they do not try to pick up what God specifically wants from them. That’s unusual
addressing the Father as “Lord” reminds us very much of Jesus’ words, “He will not enter into The Kingdom of Heaven who calls me Lord, Lord… ”(Mathew 7:21).

The second son first defies his father’s wishes but then regrets it and corrects his mistake. He represents those who, though they grieved God for a long time, believed, and they changed their mindset and life.
The parable lost nothing of its temporality. It belongs to us too. He admonishes us to be ours. His relationship with him was manifested not only by words and beautiful prayers but above all by deeds.

There must necessarily be a connection between deeds and prayer. Prayer means when we seek God’s will and strength to accomplish it, but concrete actions must follow this. I met a lady who spent most of her time sitting in church. Maybe to the eye, very much
nice, because spending time in prayer in the church is a pretty big thing. But later, I learned that this lady prayed a lot, but at the same time, she neglected her husband and did not take care of the household at all. We ourselves feel that such a religion is not good. We are also adoptive children of God.  All today God sends to the vineyard of daily life to work. To the vineyard of your soul, to the vineyard of his family, the vineyard of his work, the vineyard of his Church… “What shall we say to that? ” We call out so soulfully“ Yes Lord, I want to change, I want to do good, but when we enter the old tracks of everyday life, so there our efforts fail? Or in humility, too, at this holy mass, we will beg for strength for some specific deed that is happening. Will we try to do it today? What can we say about that? Which son are we going to look like? Everyone must answer; it will be best to do it now and by concrete action. If we properly analyze both sons, we must admit that neither is for us an ideal. We get the ideal only by combining both. We get the right idea about true religion, which works according to God’s will are the goal and prayer of the first an irreplaceable means. What do you say to that? God calls us to perfection. We don’t want to get as close as possible to the ideal model, “I’m going, Father, and are we going?”.
