The Feast of Pope St. Pius X

Today’s Gospel reading is Matthew 20:1-16, it is the feast of Pope St. Pius X. It is the parable of the landowner who goes out, hires laborers for his vineyard throughout the day, and pays them all the daily wage, even those who have only worked for an hour. So it is with our Heavenly Father, God the Father gives us His gifts and blessings equally and the same.

Pope St. Pius X understood that this grace was always being offered in a particular way in the Eucharist. He wanted everyone to be able to receive the Eucharist more frequently.

Through the intercession of St. Pius X may we have the grace to respond to the Lord’s invitation to work in the vineyard with a yes!

Praised Be Jesus Christ!
