Dear Friends,

God is very patient with us.Have a nice weekend with the Lord.
Love,
NelliIn 1978 a man traveled to Cincinnati to attend the funeral of Max
Ellerbusch. Max had been like a father to this man for twenty years. Nothing
unusual, except at as a fifteen-year-old this man had taken his mother's
car, and struck and killed Max's five-year-old son. This was a week before
Christmas in 1958. Soon after the incident, a surprise court heard Max ask
that charges be dropped.  Instead he wanted to give the death-car driver a
job and help towards education. Max did all that and more, virtually
adopting the fifteen-year-old boy into his family. Max shared his home, time
and understanding with the troubled youth.
We might ask how could Max do such a thing? Max must have been a little
crazy to go out of his way to become a father for that boy who killed his
own son. But if Max was crazy so is God, who in today's gospel sends his own
son to save his vineyard.
