Many who read the scripture struggle with the fact that at times Jesus appears to be insensitive to those around him, especially the Priests, Pharisees, Elders of the People, and the Sadducees.

ALL things are possible if we rely on the strength and wisdom that only comes from God; not our own understanding.

How does Christ as our “cornerstone” give us hope in this time of COVID-19 pandemic?

Each of us, just like Jesus, is free to give ourselves in total Christian abandonment to our Lord.

The Divine Gardener still needs laborers, and the vineyard can yield a great harvest, but the Gardener needs our time and talents. Will you work in the vineyard?
