[2] And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. [3] And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place idle. [4] And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just. [5] And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did in like manner.<br /><br />[6] But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle? [7] They say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them: Go you also into my vineyard.</i><br /><br />The calling of the apostles was late in the day, but not quite so late yet as the eleventh hour. This might mean that most of human history (and consequently salvation history) is behind us, but the end was not to come <i>right</i> away.Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04843514873861242426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-56113877469719027412012-01-15T09:03:50.654-08:002012-01-15T09:03:50.654-08:00Another great post, Father!

I was at a Scripture day yesterday hosted by Dominicans, and we had a Lectio in the middle of the day on this passage - I was wondering why the other disciple wasn't named, and why the 10th hour is specifically recorded. Thanks for the info! FYI, here in England, the Lectionary does say "the tenth hour". Here's hoping ICEL get cracking on a new Lectionary for you!Chattohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14488939389859451887noreply@blogger.com
