"" Son, go out and work in the vineyard today." - Matthew 21:28

God does not just invite us to do His work. He clearly commands us, "Go out and work in the vineyard." How can we work in God's vineyard when we have job and family responsibilities? We can follow God's command through prayer, sharing some of our talents in parish ministry and donating some of the income we make at our jobs to support God's work in the world.
