My dear brothers and sisters, it is time to start working for the Lord in his vineyard and bearing good fruit for our Lord. It is time to live out the gospel of Christ we have received, heard and seen. And it is time to be grateful and thankful to God for His patience, love and mercy to us.
Love all in God and for God, and all will be well.

When we pray we speak to God; but when we read, God speaks to us.
Bless the Lord, all you His angels, mighty in strength, who do His word. (Psalm 103:20)

Like the father in the gospel reading requested of his sons, to go out and work in his vineyard, it is indeed time to go out into the world and make the gospel of Christ known by listening to His word; by accepting His word we have listened to; and by living out the word of God and the gospel of Christ we have listened to and accepted.
Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.
Jesus, by Thine tired Eyes, open mine to faith’s surprise. Jesus, by Thine fading Breath, keep me faithful until death. Yes, Lord, by this Saving Sign, save this wayward soul of mine.

Pray, hope and don't worry. Anxiety doesn't help at all. Our Merciful Lord will listen to your prayer.
What great profit you gain from God when you are generous! … You will receive it back, a hundred times more than you offered.
Our Lord chose Matthew, the tax collector, to encourage his fellows to join him.
Let us also continue to work very hard in being true, faithful and sincere disciples of Christ by following His example of love, generosity, self-giving, compassion, kindness and unselfishness as we answer our call to discipleship.
