Sunday's Gospel Reflection
 When "No" Becomes "Yes" — and "Yes" Becomes "No." Jesus tells us about two sons. One says "no" to his father but later changes his mind and goes to work in the vineyard. The other says "yes” but never goes. There is something deeply human in this parable. A "no" spoken at one moment in life can become a "yes" later — and sometimes a "yes" we once gave with conviction can quietly become a "no." We do not always know how life will unfold, nor how our hearts will change along the way.
Perhaps you have said "no" to God at some point — to prayer, to forgiveness, to reconciliation, to the Church. Do not lose hope. Your "no" does not have to be your final answer. Peter's "no" was spoken three times in a courtyard yet became the strongest "yes" in the Gospels. Paul began as a violent persecutor — a decisive "no" — and became the greatest missionary. There is always a way back. God continues to call, invite, forgive, and offer us another opportunity to say "yes." Nor should we grow complacent because we once said "yes." Faith is not merely a word we spoke at baptism or confirmation; it is a life we live each day. Someone who seems far from God today may say "yes" tomorrow; someone who appears faithful may still need to renew that "yes" through daily acts of love and mercy. So, this week, let us ask honestly: Where is God inviting me to change my "no" into a "yes"? And where has “yes" I once spoke slowly become a "no"? Blessings in Christ,
