S01 Ep. 45 – Making Sense of the Sin of Envy

Fr. Eric expounds upon the sin of envy by reflecting on the famous Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (Mt 20:1-16).  Topics discussed include the invitation to share in the great intimacy, energy, passion and dynamism of God’s inner life; and the refusal to participate in God’s purposes as a failure to embrace His invitation to partake in the fullness of life.

Furthermore, Fr. Eric addresses the worldly logic of insisting upon a loser as a requisite to being a winner; the futility of productivity, efficiency and busyness apart from a sense of gratitude for God’s many graces and blessings; and the need to view our neighbour as someone that God calls us personally to love as we love our very selves (cf. Mt 22:39).
