On Sunday, September 27, 2026, we hear the following parable:
 |
| "A man had two sons..." |
Jesus said to the chief priests and elders of the people: "What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He came to the first and said, 'Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.' He said in reply, 'I will not,' but afterwards changed his mind and went.
The man came to the other son and gave the same order. He said in reply, 'Yes, sir, 'but did not go.
Which of the two did his father's will?" They answered, "The first."
Here are are some thoughts by a respected French theologian, Yves de Montcheuil:
We think we live in the kingdom because our “yes“ was once sincere, and yet the force of daily habit, an alludes, the will of God who is calling us to the kingdom. Often perhaps his will, and our action coincide, but when a discrepancy arises between his will, and hours, it is the latter which carries the day; we obey our own wishes and whims.
Now life in the kingdom does not merely consist in putting one’s name down for it. Entry into the kingdom requires of us a continuing and living desire to accept God‘s will for us at each moment of our life. It is a “yes“ said over and over again.
In practice, though, it is our unfaithfulness which is repeated.
I was intrigued by the idea that I have both sons in myself, and hope that you, too, may find this reflection useful.
I want to deeply thank Priest Alaska for the miracle he performed in my life and for saving my family from complete destruction. Everything started when my husband returned from work one evening looking completely different. His usual warm smile was gone, he barely spoke, and within a few months he coldly told me he no longer felt anything for our marriage. I cried, begged, and tried every possible way to win him back, but nothing worked. I had already accepted that he was gone forever when I came across many comments online about Priest Alaska and the powerful results he had given other people. With a small spark of hope I contacted him and explained everything. He calmly told me the situation was not as bad as I thought, that I should relax, and that my husband would return home on his own within 48 hours. I honestly did not believe spiritual powers could work, yet to my complete shock I saw my husband standing outside our window. I ran out and found him in tears, saying he did not understand what had controlled him after he met that other woman. Today our home is filled with love again.
