We are commemorating today one of the truly great popes of our church. He is called the Great because he was known for his charity, his sense of justice, and his political diplomacy - but perhaps even more so, Saint Gregory was known for his devotion to Christ and the Church. He urged us to study, saying, "I beg you study and meditate each day the words of God, for in so doing you would come to know the heart of Jesus."

Friends, vows in scripture are serious business. Also in our own day. Seriously consider before making a vow to God. Three days ago, a visiting priest, Father Larry Jerge, shared that August 16th marked the 60th anniversary of his first vows to live the evangelical vows of voluntary poverty, perpetual chastity, and perfect obedience. Wow!

I can just imagine what some people may be thinking when they hear Jesus say that "the last shall be first, and the first shall be last," and also advocating equal pay for a person who only works a fraction of how long other have worked. It just doesn’t make sense. Is Jesus forcing us to think further about the implications of what He said and did?
