Never presume that you are one of the early hires and that Jesus offers his parable only to curb your jealousy of late arrivals. No, we all come so late in the day. The mystery we seek has been wrapped in a beloved face and well-worn voice. In the power of the Spirit, the very person of Christ can come to us in prayer, even in the last hours of life.
