Psalm

Every day will I bless you,
and I will praise your name forever and ever.
Great is the LORD and highly to be praised;
His greatness is unsearchable.

The LORD is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and of great kindness.
The LORD is good to all
and compassionate toward all his works.

The LORD is just in all his ways
and holy in all his works.
The LORD is near to all who call upon him,
to all who call upon him in truth.

Commentary

My beloved, persevere in the good works you have begun… Unfortunate people serve an earthly king, thus putting their life in danger and facing enormous difficulties for a benefit that passes and disappears very quickly. Why would you not serve the king of heaven so as to obtain the happiness of the Kingdom? Since by faith the Lord has already called you to his vineyard, that is to the unity of the holy Church, live, behave in such a way that, thanks to God’s generosity, you might receive the coin, that is to say, the happiness of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let no one despair because of the greatness of his sins and say: “The sins in which I persevered until old age and even extreme old age are many; now I will no longer be able to obtain forgiveness, above all since it is the sins that have left me, not I who have rejected them.” May that person absolutely not despair of divine mercy, for some are called to God’s vineyard at the first hour, others at the third, others at the sixth, others at the ninth, others at the eleventh. That is to say that some are led to God’s service when they are children, others when they are adolescents, others in their youth, others in old age, others in extreme old age. Thus let no one despair, regardless of how old he is, if he wants to turn back to God… Work faithfully in the Church’s vineyard to receive the salary of eternal happiness and to reign with Christ forever and ever.
