Yes for work in the unpredictable vineyard?

decide today or tomorrow ?
First No! later: responsible Yes!
First Yes! later: throw in the towel...













26 Sun A / Mt 21.28-32 / quite difficult

All people in this world are invited to build up the Kingdom of God (to go work
in the evangelical vineyard).
1. A lot of people are TODAY not able to accept the INVITATION. The answer is: NO
The reason for this NO remains unclear. But later they thought better in, they change
their mind and they make the decision to go into the new offer; they accept tomorrow 
the Invitation and they have decided to act really in good faith.
2. Everyone feels they are right. The Chief-Priests (Cardinals) and Elders (Priests),
Jesus and the Apostles, the Church of today are unanimously of the opinion:
these people are right - they are acting not only "wording" - and exactly this is the will
of God: the courage to act responsibly.
3. On the other hand, a good part of people are willing and able to accept in public the INVITATION to work for the Kingdom of God. The Chief-Priests and Elders are well known for the public acceptance to do the will of God - they have promised to go work in the vineyard (maybe at daybreak or at the eleventh hour / Mt 20.1-16).
4. TODAY everyone who is baptised has accepted the INVITATION - and the vows-people, the confirmed-people, the religious people, the Priests, the sacramental-people and the Mass-goers make the acceptance public.
It's a joy to see how many people are willing to do the will of God, to accept the work in the vineyard because all these people know such a work is creditable, profitable and pleasant.
5. I assume: everyone who accepts the INVITATION knows what he/she has accepted -
in reality it's not the case.
Accepting the INVITATION is all the time a risk! After the YES you enter the way
"to keep the promise".
6. This hard and great obligation "to keep the word" is the challenge of every baptised personality.
7. The Chief-Priests have decided to do the will of God...  but they didn't accept John the Baptist, they didn't accept Jesus, they didn't accept the new development - it means:
the YES has accepted the own understanding of the vineyard, the own understanding
of the Kingdom of God - but this YES didn't accept the unknown evolution, the risk of the INVITATION: the fact, that the will of God is an unforseeable changing challenge.
8. John and Jesus and the Church and a new Heaven and a new Earth... all this is
"work in the vineyard".
9. Happy the one, who is able to keep the vow, the promise, the Yes.
    Blessed the one, who is able to realise the will of God, to go the unknown way;
    to go daily in the vineyard not knowing what challenges are waiting there
    for him, for her.
    Wonderful the one who TODAY says Yes and tomorrow shows resiliency.
