God’s Ways vs. Our Ways

News flash #1: God's ways are not our ways.

News flash #2: God's thoughts are not our thoughts.

Sometimes these hit us hard.  We think, "Gee, I did more work than he/she did!  Why does he/she get the same pay as me?!"  But that's not how God works.  God's version of justice isn't fairness.  God's version of justice is equality.  In his infinite goodness, God looks beyond our faults and failings and instead gives us - not what we deserve but - that which he wants to give us!  And thank God for that!

And happy priesthood Sunday to Fr. John!  Thank you for all you do for the Emmaus Pastorate!
